Sforzando no Zankyou (ja: スフォルツァンドの残響) is a song by Carol Malus Dienheim, from the 4th Symphogear XV Bonus CD.
This dull, irritating world should simply crumble
Tell me—do you need a war beast?!
An unwanted, unfinished agitation threatens to overwhelm me—
Give me a fool to crush underfoot!
God? The devil? Don't make me laugh
Meaningless concepts like that crumble beneath me
You get to keep your love, your hate
The imperfections I stand by
Burn the last of my memories in a sforzando
My symphony escapes mere comprehension; this philharmonic annihilates all
That day I was told to learn the world—its smile shines on me
Kneel, peasants—don't think my songs come cheap!
The past blazing through my core licks my soul
The pages of my life's memoir burnt away
Still, I want to pay respects to those fleeting moments
The dreams my heart had long embraced
My gaze lingers on the stars above
I mock my puny self, laughing at my insignificance
Burn this final blaze into your feeble minds—
The blaze of this life blinds all who gaze upon it
The echoes of warmth propel a harmonic future
A king without people, doomed by design
If I can become your sword, your shield
Then until my heart stops
I will offer my soul
Burn the last of my memories in a sforzando
My last gamble balanced on a single note
A proud, powerful symphony its backing track
That day I was told to learn the world—it wraps me in its gentle embrace
Kneel, peasants—don't think my songs come cheap!
haradatashii fuhen no yo wo fuminijiru
senki wa iranu ka kotae yo
kai to dekinai wazurawashii kono kanjou
nejikomu ejiki wa doko da
kami mo aku mo doudemoii
ore no tatsu basho ga "zen" da
ai mo nikushimi mo fukan na shugoto
yurushite yarou to iu no da
omoide no zangai wo shoukyaku suru suforutsando
suushiki ryougashita koukyougaku horobi no gakuten
sekai wo shire to yutta kano hi ga mada hohoemu
chi ni hirefuse... takaku tsukuzo? ore no uta wa
gyakuryuushite kaku to moeru inishie yo
saigo no nikki wa nani ka?
saredo kieru sono shunkan misete hoshii
naderare dakareta yume wo
hoshiboshi wo miageteru to
onore no chiisasa ni warau
nakunaru inochi no tsui no kirameki wo
sono me ni yakitsuke kasane yo
zankyou no nukumori ga chouwa e no tanebi dato
kyoumei no onpu sura shiranu mukan no ou da
tada, buki ni nareru nara tada, tate ni nareru nara
shi ni otsu made...! tamashii sura kurete yarou
omoide no zangai wo shoukyaku suru suforutsando
sono ichi on ni kakeru hokori zettai no ongaku
sekai wo shire to yutta kano hi ga yawaku tsutsumu
chi ni hirefuse... takaku tsukuzo? ore no uta wa
