Here's Stardust! This one is actually pretty cool. The story as far as I understand it: There's a starlet who's in love with this guy (Revo). She is paralleled to a falling star. She finds out that he might be with some new, rising woman. She is still adored by other men, but she's on the downslope of her career. She sees him with the woman and shoots him, his white coat turning red with blood, then black as the blood dries. Meanwhile, the falling star is fighting and eventually turns into nothing but stardust. The woman is reaching out of the stardust and the masked man takes her.

Sound Horizon - Elysion 'The Witch and Rafuentse/Orpheus' Subbed
Now this one has beautiful, haunting and complex lyrics (if I got them right)! Enjoy! Here's what I can make of the story and what I know of Orpheus: A witch finds an abandoned child and raises her. The girl becomes the gaurd of the door to hell. She sees all the lost souls yearning for paradise and cries. Then she hears a beautiful harp and finds Orpheus/Refuentse/Revo. She falls in love with him. The witch warns her against him but she falls farther in love. What we don't see is that Orpheus's wife is in Hell and he wants to get her out. He lets the girl be in love with him, then takes her virginity. While she's still reeling from that, he goes and grabs his wife and is trying to get her out. When she sees what he's about to do, she curses them and the woman is sent back to hell. That leaves Orpheus waiting forever.
Here's Sacrifice. It was THE hardest so it's probably the most wrong. Sorry! For those, like me, who need an explanation for all this: There are two sisters. Because the sweet younger sister accidentally let the fire go out, their mother gets sick and dies. The older sister steps up to make a living (not sure if it's a brothel or a tavern or what). THe men are kind, the women are bitter. She keeps her sister from having to work. But one night, she finds a woman accusing the little girl of being a thief. The woman slaps her and, I think, kills her. The older sister then kills the woman, is caught and is taken up to be burned. She is asking God why all this would happen, and especially why it would happen to the sweet little sister. Then the masked man comes in the flames to take her.
Here is Baroque. As I said before, this isn't 100% perfect, but I did the best I could! Enjoy! For those who don't quite get the story: She is telling her story as a confession. As a kid, she was avoided by other children because she was different. Eventually a girl befriended her and she fell in love with the girl. She confessed her love and was denied, so she chased after the girl and beat her to death, saying that the murder would forever connect them. Then the masked man approaches to take her.
This is one of the opening stories in Elysion, that sets up the Elysioni set of stories, all of which are about a girl named L and a man, Abyss. It parallels Adam/Eve and the Garden of Eden, showing how Paradise was lost through sin and the cycle of these two continues throughout Elysion, with (I'm assuming), their daughter who was abandoned in the forest, found by the witch, and then with El and her father in El no Rakuen. Enjoy! Comment please!
Well here you are! The Story (I think): There is a dying king. He sets his inheritance, so that his son, a young boy, will become king. Then a horseman and more knights come out of some otherworldly portal. There is a war, people 'Waltzing' in a fight. As the sun sets, the boy is captured. A woman releases the boy from his chains and lets him ask questions, but all the questions he asks aren't answered. Then he runs away and grabs the sword in the stone and, in the next days battle, fends off the horsemen and wins.
I apologize for all the speaking parts because I did those by ear. For those who don't understand: DON'T BE THROWN OFF BY THE DOLL; SHE'S NOT A DOLL IN THE SONG. This thief has a daugther who's sick and about to die. For her birthday she asks for a picture book so he goes off to rob someone for the money to buy it. {In the concert he kills a groom and is stabbed by the bride afterwards} He gets fatally wounded and is crawling home through the snow. Meanwhile, the little girl, El, is dying and is fading in and out of hallucinations. She asks her father, in her dreams, all these questions about Paradise. They both die, the man is forever doomed to wander looking for his daughter, while El is sent to Paradise. Thus for the rest of the concert/CD, this 'masked man', the thief, is trying to find his daughter and shows up at the end of Ark, Baroque, Yield, Sacrifice and Stardust, hoping they are his daughter, then taking them with him to his 'eternal underworld Paradise'.
This one is a lot clearer than some of their more ambiguous songs. It's about a guy who got in a fight and lost his arm, taking the other guy's eye. Both grow old and bitter. The armless man's girlfriend is pregnant but doesn't want to raise the child with him. Eventually, after much time both men meet by chance in a bar. Before the armless man can get revenge, a dark stranger comes in and kills the redhead. A boy, presumably the blond guy's son sees it. And in the end he's robbed of his vengeance.
