ROMANIZED LYRICS:

Kikoete kuru no wa tori no uta?
Iie sore wa mori no nakigoe
Kagayaiteiru no wa tsuki no hikari?
Iie sore wa moeru honoo yo

Katsute "Kaasan" to yonda hito
Danro no naka de hai e to kawari
Ato ni nokotta "Hajimari no Tsumi"
Bokura no te de nanatsu ni waketa

"Shikiyoku" wa hana
"Akujiki" wa tane
"Gouman" wa ishi
"Shitto" wa izumi
"Taida" wa kaze
"Gouyoku" wa tsuchi
Soshite
"Funnu" wa mori

Maiagare nanatsu no tsumi
Itsuwari no haha kara umareta kegare
Maware maware sekai yo
Kono ashiki taizai
Kiyomete yo

Kindan no kajitsu no te de
Sekai ni hanatareta nanatsu no tsumi
Mori wo mamoru erudo no ki wa
Subete no kaishuu wo tomo ni tanomu

"Taikutsu shinogi ni naru nara sore mo kamawanai"
"Douse jikan wa mugen ni arushi"
Warau madoushi

Ai suru hito wo ushinai
Daiji na mono wo kowashita sono hate ni
Ataerareta yuukyuu wa
Kanojo ni totte kuukyo de shika nai

Subete wo te ni ire
Soshite ushinatta madoushi wa
Nani wo nozomu?
Nani wo motomeru?
Toki no hate ni...

Hitori no onna kara umarete hagukumare
Nanatsu ni sakareta tsumi no sutoorii
Toki wo koeru majo no suikyou na kimagure
Mori kara hajimaru kurono sutoorii

ENGLISH LYRICS:

Is that the song of birds that I can hear?
No, that is the cry of the forest
Is that the light of the moon that’s shining?
No, that’s the burning fire

The person we used to call “mother”
Turns to ashes inside the stove
“The Original Sin” that remained afterwards
We divided into seven with our own hands

“Lust”, is the flower
“Gluttony”, is the seed
“Pride”, is the stone
“Envy”, is the spring
“Sloth”, is the wind
“Greed”, is the dirt
And,
“Wrath”, is the forest

Fly away, seven sins
The impurity born from our false mother
Let the world turn and turn
This evil, grave sin
Purify it

By the hands of the forbidden fruit
The seven sins were released into the world

The tree of Held, who protects the forest,
Requests his friend to collect them all

“If it turns into a way to kill time that’s no problem”
“’Cause my time is infinite anyhow”
The sorceress sneers

The eternity she was granted
At the end of having lost the one she loved
And destroyed what was precious
To her was nothing but emptiness

The sorceress who obtained everything
And then lost it
What does she wish for?
What does she seek?
To the end of time…

Born and raised from a lone woman
The story of such a sin cut into seven
The capricious whim of a witch who transcends time
This Chrono Story that begins from the forest

TRIVIA:

•The root word chrono is Greek for "time"; this theme is reinforced by Elluka's remark that her time is limitless as well as the gear that appears at the end of the song PV.

•The song title's romanization (Kurono Sutori) can be interpreted as meaning "Dark Story" (Kuro no Sutori.

•The Evils Court booklet lists the song as a secret exchange between Elluka and Held and that his leaving from the mortal realm was crucial for the creation of Evil's Theater.

•Later in the booklet, Gammon Octo summarizes the events of the song; humorously, he comments right after that having so many characters complicates the story.

•In the song, Wrath is represented by the color white; it is later represented by the color green in Judgment of Corruption.

•Before introducing Elluka, the song PV depicts several of her bodies: her original form, her swap with Lukana Octo, and Ma after her swap with Kayo Sudou.

•The two words in the Swap Technique's activation phrase (ノロク  リトス, noroku ritosu) use the same characters as the song's title with the characters in each word reversed.
