月士だけ 天百合がない。 悪しき花だけだ。 二十歳の時、 I fell into a river, and into the arms of the fey. [FAIRY EMPEROR] 皇帝は「白百合、 まあ、幸せを造っている かな。」と言った。 [SEVERIN] I don’t want anything to do with you, I said. I don’t want your holy hands, I can’t meet your holy demands, I don’t want to be in these wetlands, Where the fey are born from fen, IF, WHERE, AND WHEN. I just want to leave, leave, leave. [EMPEROR] 皇帝は「白百合、 はい、はい、 止められない。」 と言った。 「でも、 白百合は妖精に 逃がさない。 私たちは天百合だ。 あなたは月士(Tsukishi)だ。」 Moon Knight, take flight, if you won’t play, if you won’t stay. [FAIRIES] 「遊ばない?遊ばない?」 [EMPEROR] A home for a lily is in heaven. [SEVERIN] 天百合がない。 悪しき花だけだ [TRANSLATION] ONLY A MOON KNIGHT Heavenly lilies don’t exist. Only the flowers of evil do. When I was 20, I fell into a river, and into the arms of the fey. [EMPEROR] “Shirayuri [White Lily], well, now, I wonder if you will bring happiness,” the Emperor said. [SEVERIN] “I don’t want anything to do with you,” I said. “I don’t want your holy hands, I can’t meet your holy demands, I don’t want to be in these wetlands, Where the fey are born from fen, if, where, and when, I just want to leave, leave, leave.” [EMPEROR] “Shirayuri, certainly, certainly, I can’t stop you,” she said. “But, I won’t let you escape. We fey are heavenly lilies. You are a moon knight.” “Moon Knight, take flight, if you won’t play, if you won’t stay.” [FAIRIES] “You won’t play, you won’t play?” [EMPEROR] “A home for a lily is in heaven.” Heavenly lilies don’t exist. Only the flowers of evil do.

about

CDR026: This release tells a story about Severin Lacandola, a character from THE FAIRIES SING EACH TO EACH: a Musical about the Monstrous and the Divine (Flower Press, 2020/2021), and a meeting he has with the Fairy Emperor and how he fights his way out of her court.

The full Severin album is estimated to release sometime in 2021.

In the meanwhile, I hope you enjoy these FEYXUAN singles.

Translation Notes:
月士​ (Tsukishi) is a word my friend came up with for me that translates as MOON
KNIGHT, and they also came up with 天​ 百合 ​(Amayuri): HEAVENLY LILY ​&​ 悪 しき花​ (Ashikihana): FLOWER OF EVIL.

TESTIMONIALS:
> It makes me feel like I’m watching a classical tragedy play where there is action but a character is allowed to suspend time to monologue
> I feel like this is part of a reenactment or a traditional festival play that you see every year during lily season in order to learn about Severin and the fairies
> It starts serene n only vaguely ominous, then it becomes Evil(TM) n disturbed n like chaotic w/ the overlays and sword clash noises. The word it makes me think of is poignant
> An inexorable and ominous clash about one's very essence. Incredible and enigmatic grappling atmosphere.
