"Yes, I am the new Master of the Court."

―Master of the Court

Master of the Court is a song to be released. It is part of End of the Four, serving as the leitmotif of the Master of the Court.

Plot

The story starts in Evil's Theater as the Master of the Court states that those who get through the Evil's Forest, as well as elude the Graveyard, will be sentenced to Hell in the theater's court. In the song, the Master of the Court explains how she came alive from the gears of the clocktower and inherited her father's will, the court opening its doors soon. She expresses doubt about sentencing people to Hell as a means to get to "Utopia", lacking a conscience and the ability to understand the morality of her actions.

Later in the song, the Gardener asserts the viewpoint that the lullaby is coming to an end once the Seven Deadly Sins are all gathered. The Master of the Court is unsure to believe his view or Ma's, and so will continue to swing her hammer regardless. She also feels Erratic in her womb and assures her that her time will come, putting her to sleep with a lullaby. Once more, she asks her father if what she is doing is the way of achieving "Utopia" and promises to him that she will remember him.

森を抜け 墓場から追われ
辿りつくだろう 古い映画館
その場所で 貴方は裁かれ
罪を得るだろう 最後の審判

時計塔で廻る歯車
人形（ドール）は父の遺志を継いだ
そうよ私が新たな法廷の主
今 開かれる 冥界の門

教えてよmy father
これが正しい選択でしょうか？
心を持たぬ私にはわからないの
教えてよmy father
全員地獄送りでいいんですか ？
命を持たぬ私にはわからない

語られぬ 唄もあとわずか
終わりは近いと 庭師は呟く
正しいのは 彼か魔道師（Ｍa）か
わからないまま 槌を叩いている

無機質な胎内に宿る 毒（イラティック）が身を震わす
いい子ね あなたの役目はこれからだから
今は子守唄で 眠っていなさい

教えてよmy father
これが正しい運命でしょうか？
心を持たぬ私にはわからないの
教えてよmy father
理想郷（ユートピア）はこれでできるんですか？
命を持たぬ私にはわからない

そうよ私が新たな法廷の主
今 開かれる 冥界の門

教えてよmy father
これが正しい選択でしょうか？
心を持たぬ私にはわからないの
教えてよmy father
全員地獄送りでいいんですか？
命を持たぬ私にはわからない

教えてよmy father
これが正しい運命でしょうか？
心を持たぬ私にはわからないの
教えてよmy father
理想郷（ユートピア）はこれでできるんですか？
命を持たぬ私にはわからない

{{Lyrics box |content= Down through the eerie woods, past the old graveyard
what stands there, is an old theatre
In that place you will be trialed for all your sins
And get your final judgement

From the gears that are moving within the clocktower
The doll inherited the will of its father
That's right I am the new, Master of the Court
And now we are opening, the gates to the hellish yard

Tell me, my father,
Is this the right choice?
With lack of a heart, how could I possibly understand?
Tell me, my father,
Is it okay for me to send them all to Hell?
How could I, with no emotions, possibly understand?

"An endless lullaby will shortly come to an end
in the near future" The gardener mumbled
Who is right, is it him? Is it Ma?
Without knowing, I swing the hammer

Within my fake womb,
Erratic is trembling
My dear child, your duty has yet to come
So with this lullaby, go to sleep

Tell me, my Father
Is this the right destiny?
With lack of a heart, how could I possibly understand?
Tell me, my Father
Is this the way to Utopia?
The lifeless me simply cannot understnad

That's right I am the new, Master of the Court
And now we are opening, the gates to the hellish yard

Tell me, my father,
Is this the right choice?
With lack of a heart, how could I possibly understand?
Tell me, my father,
Is it okay for me to send them all to Hell?
How could I, with no emotions, possibly understand?

Tell me, my Father
Is this the right destiny?
With lack of a heart, how could I possibly understand?
Tell me, my Father
Is this the way to Utopia?

The lifeless me simply cannot understand

Trivia

Conceptualization and Origin

• The song's English title, "Successor of the court", refers to her succeeding Gallerian, taking his mission and title upon herself to attempt reuniting with him.

Curiosities

• In Evils Court, the song is preceded by an instrumental titled "5 Minutes before Court", leading into the main song; combined with the instrumental, the song begins "court" after 5 minutes, when the Doll makes her final decision just before the final chorus.
• In the Evils Court booklet, Gammon comments how GEAR transferred the powers of the Marlon Spoon through the clocktower to heal her, giving her the vessels' powers; however, he notes she recklessly uses it, becoming a tool to sentence visitors to death.
• The Evils Court crossfade lists that "none are accused", stating that the court case was simply the Director Doll's monologue regarding the role she bears.
