- "It contradicted its own existence."
- ―Adam Moonlit[src]
The Contradictory Grim the End is a song released by Akuno-P on December 20, 2023. It was included as part of the lineup for songs for Miku Symphony 2023, and follows the story of Adam Moonlit as he contemplates the existence of the Wrath vessel and his time spent within it.
Plot[]
A certain craftsman made a key that no longer has a door to open. Two opposing souls eventually came to dwell within it: the man of darkness, Seth Twiright, and the man of light, Adam Moonlit. This key would continue to change forms as time went on, with Adam contemplating whether it was a vessel that created sin or a tool that would kill sin.
The key was first used by the lover of a woman who was kidnapped by a false duke. It was then used by a prince who had been charmed by the past self of a starved noble woman. These were acts of judgment that passed down punishment to these grave sinners. Later on, the Daughter of White hesistated to use the key to kill the Daughter of Evil, forgiving her despite her having killed her dear friend.
Adam began to feel his soul wear down as time went on. He knew that if he continued living as he was, his soul would eventually break down due to the rules of the gods. Despite this, he would not give up until he erased all sin and reunited with someone again.
A heartbroken judge attempted to gather the fragments of sin; at the same time, the man of light that had possessed him had already worn down completely. Though he existed to kill sin, now he had become inevitably drawn to it instead. From somewhere, he could hear the man of darkness' roar of laughter. Over hundreds of years, the vessel he resided in had drawn out people's innate rage; because of this, he knew that someone's rage over losing their love would likely put an end to him. He then states his resolve to go see someone very soon, the person he had long been searching for.
Lyrics[]
とある職人が作ったその鍵に
開ける扉はもうこの世には無い
理不尽な運命 その果てに倒れた
闇と光の相反する魂
それが「グリムジエンド」
憤怒の罪の象徴
闇の男は原罪を引き裂き
悪の繁栄を願うトワライト
光の男は愛する者のため
それらの破滅を願うムーンリット
時代によって姿を変えるそれは
罪作りな器か
罪殺しの道具か
残酷な童話が幾百生まれる
生まれ持つ人の怒り引き出す器
愛を失った誰かの怒りが
それを終わらせるだろう
矛盾したその存在
偽りの公爵 女を拐かし
その恋人の恨みを買った
飢えた令嬢に毒を盛ったのは
過去の彼女に惹かれた王子
それは大罪人に
罰を与える裁き
白ノ娘は親友を殺した
悪ノ娘を許してしまった
光の男は目的果たせず
少しずつ魂 すり減り始めた
記憶を保って生き続ければやがて
神のルールによって
その魂は壊れる
錆びついて欠けてく僕の歯車
残された時間はもう長くはない
それでも全ての罪が消えるまで
僕は諦めはしない
いつか君に会える日まで
心の壊れた裁判官が
罪のかけらを集める終末
彼に取り憑いてた光の歯車も
既に錆びつき砕けていた
罪を殺すための存在だったのに
今ではその罪求める
矛盾のグリムジエンド
闇の男の高笑いが
どこから聞こえてきた
残酷な童話が幾百生まれる
生まれ持つ人の怒り引き出す器
愛を失った誰かの怒りが
僕を終わらせるだろう
矛盾した……
るりら るりら
もうすぐ君に会いに行くよ

A certain craftsman made a key
The door it opens no longer exists in this world
Having succumbed at the end of an irrational, unfair fate
Were two opposing souls of light and darkness
That was "Grim the End"
The symbol of the sin of wrath
The man of darkness was Twiright
Who sought for evil to prosper by splitting up the original sin
The man of light was Moonlit
Who sought its destruction for the sake of the one he loved
It would change its form for each era—was it
A vessel to make sin?
A tool to kill sin?
A cruel fairytale over hundreds of years produced
A vessel that drew out people's innate rage
The rage of someone who's lost their love
Will likely put an end to it
It contradicted its own existence
A false duke kidnapped a woman
And incurred the vengeance of her lover
A starved noble woman was poisoned
By a prince who'd been charmed by her past self
That was a judgment to hand down punishment
To those grave sinners
Though the Daughter of Evil killed her dear friend
The Daughter of White forgave her
Unable to achieve his goal, the man of light
Felt his soul begin to wear down, little by little
If he kept living on this way with his memories intact, eventually
By the Rules of the gods
His soul would break down
My rusting, chipped gear
Doesn't have much time left
Still, until I've erased all of the sin
I won't give up
Until the day I can see you again
The heartbroken judge
Had the end goal of gathering the fragments of sin
The gear of light that had come to possess him
Had already rusted and broken to pieces
Though it had existed to kill sin
Now it sought sin out
That was the contradictory Grim the End
The man of darkness' roar of laughter
Could be heard from somewhere
A cruel fairytale over hundreds of years produced
A vessel that drew out people's innate rage
The rage of someone who's lost their love
Will likely put an end to me
It made a contradiction...
I'll go to see you very soon
