Please read the description! Full unofficial lyrics for Sandalphon’s second character song, ORISON, performed with live band during GBFes 2024. This video will hopefully tide us over until the CD releases.

Q. When will you update this/when will we know the official lyrics?
A. These unofficial lyrics will be partially obsolete after February/March 2025, which is roughly when the CD will be available. An updated video will be up on the channel around then. Please keep in mind that these lyrics can and will change based on the official lyrics included with the CD. GBF songs tend to play with words that sound the same as well as hidden meanings, which is impossible to know for sure until the CD releases.
Q. Is Sandalphon singing about Lucifer/What’s the song about?
A. This song seems to be more about his growth and about how he made these things his own. For example, this is why “This world I also came to love” is used in the translation– lines like these are about Lucifer, about how Sandalphon’s learning, and how he’s making it his own. It’s the world Lucifer loved, Sandalphon learned to love, and now sees for what it offers. The same is true for wishes and responsibilities. Many lines like these truthfully can/could apply to both of them–the distinction here is how he’s moving on from just following someone else. The translation was written with this idea in mind.
Q. There’s a line you didn’t subtitle?
A. Not even god can hear what he’s saying (if you have any ideas please comment!)
