I find it amazing how Nishimori never seems to run out of music or lyrics for William's inner struggles. We've seen it a bit of it in Op. 3 and and it was oh so very painful in Op. 4, yet now that his death (or at least, what William thinks to be his death) is approaching, it feels even more painful. It's the heavy kind of pain that really sucks your soul.

The devil roams the wilderness

悪魔は荒れ野を彷徨いて | Akuma wa areno samayoite Character: William James Moriarty

Kanji ひとり彷徨う荒野に　死せる 悪魔の声が響く 我は悪魔を討つ穢れし悪魔 血を浴び地獄へいざ行かん

叫びは　耳に棲みついて 嘆きの目は　この身を呪う 貫く刃は　この胸を刺し 心の血潮は　弾け飛ぶ

ああ　痛み悶える胸に 永遠（とわ）に　憩いなどない 死神よ　連れゆけこの命 光無くした　この魂を

ああ天よ　神よ　いるのなら 愛しき仲間たちにに美しき世界を 我は消えゆくとも彼らに命を 時の彼方まで　守り給え

ひとり彷徨う荒野に　死せる 悪魔の声が響く 我は悪魔を討つ穢れし悪魔 血を浴び地獄へいざ行かん

血を浴び地獄へいざ行かん

English I alone will die in the wilderness Here, where the devil’s voice echoes I’m a demon, much unlike the demons I dispose Forward, I must go! To hell, covered in blood

Their cries echo in my ears Their sorrowful eyes haunt me The sword of punishment pierces me These feelings are so fiery, they might just burst out from my chest

Oh, my heart, how it writhes in pain Never can I ever lay to rest Grim reaper, I call upon you, please take me now Reap this soul that’s been wrung out of any light

Oh, heavens, oh, god, if you hear my pleas Please let my dear friends see the beautiful world Let them not perish and protect them to the end

I alone will die in the wilderness Here, where the devil’s voice echoes I’m a demon, much unlike the demons I dispose Forward, I must go! To hell, covered in blood

Forward, I must go! To hell, covered in blood
