Windress
Versailles · Noble [2008]
kasurete imi no nai mono ni naru
ima nara dare ka ni yowasa wo miserareru
kako wo shitte soba ni ite
nee　aitai yo　kirei na hanatachi ga
koboreteyuku hakanai yume
yurameku inochi wo daite
ima tabidatsu
tomoshibi... kaze ni nosetodoke anata no moto e
shisekai e tabidachi hibike boku no koe yo
Ah... aitakute tsumi wo ayamachi wo
taguri yosete mirai e tsunagu kumo no ito
awaku kiesou na tomoshibi no
mae kara hanarete modotte mata kurikaesu dake
anata ni aitakute koe ga kikitakute
iki wo fukikakesou ni naru yo... tomete
Ah... aitakute tsumi wo ayamachi wo
taguri yosete mirai e
kaze ni yoseta omoi
hakanai yume no ato ni
kaze ga fukikesu no wa ieta sonzai kachi
kienai omoi wo boku wa tada mitsume
yurameki tsudzuketa... tomoshibi
Windress
Windress stands as a defining track on Versailles' 2008 album Noble, capturing the band's signature fusion of heavy metal and classical elegance. As part of their early discography, the recording showcases the group's theatrical approach to Japanese rock, blending intricate guitar work with operatic vocal delivery. The song contributes to the album's cohesive narrative of aristocratic grandeur and dramatic intensity, reflecting the band's commitment to a distinct visual and sonic identity. Within the broader context of the genre, this work highlights how Versailles elevated the visual kei movement through sophisticated composition and powerful instrumentation. The track remains a notable example of their ability to craft anthemic melodies that resonate with fans of progressive and symphonic metal.
