Chapter 2
The Second Alice
Ni-banme Arisu wa otanashiku
Utawo utatte fushigi no kuni
Ironna otowo afure sasete
Kurutta sekaiwo umidasita.
Sonna Arisu wa barano hana
Ikarete otoko ni uchi korosarete
Makkana hanawo ichi-rin sakase
Minnani medarare karete-yuku.
The second Alice was meek
Singing a song, to the Wonderland
Flooding with various tones
Created a mad world.
As for such Alice, a flower of a rose
Got shot and killed by a crazy man
Bloomed a single flower truly red
Loved and enjoyed by everyone, withered away.
Another young man wandered into the Wonderland. He was clad in blue clothing; even his hair was blue. He was meek and he had a lovely voice. He sang for himself, for friends, and even the world.
The dream grinned devilishly as it laid a paper under a rose tree.
When the man came by he saw it and, out of curiosity, picked it up. It had a song on it. When the young man began to sing it his blue eyes took a look of madness in themselves and a blue diamond appeared on his hand.
"Come now, Marth." said the dream. "You love to sing. Sing this song to the whole world."
Marth obeyed and sang this song of madness to everyone. Wherever he went there was only madness. The very world he created was a mad one.
One day, as Marth continued to sing the song, a cross-eyed man from his own world shot him in the chest. Even, as blood fell from the hole in his chest, Marth sang the song till his very last breath. As the life left his body, a beautiful rose grew from his wound.
This time, a blue door with a blue diamond appeared. It was the entrance to Marth's mad world.
Marth had lost his mind to madness and later on, his own life.
Marth was the Alice of Diamonds.
