Sister's Mercy

Kagamine Rin and Len's song 'Sister's Mercy' tells a haunting tale set in a destitute village visited by a mysterious sister. This sister, who reveres a god of tea, promises to fulfill any wish for those who attend her midnight tea parties. The villagers, desperate and driven by their desires, become fervent believers, hoping for miracles to solve their problems, from agricultural woes to personal vendettas. The repeated invocation of 'Jesus' and the call to 'pray' and 'believe' underscore the religious fervor and blind faith that the sister instills in the villagers.

The lyrics paint a vivid picture of the villagers' descent into fanaticism. They are willing to offer 'bright red'—a metaphor for blood—in exchange for their wishes. This imagery of blood and the phrase 'blood tea party' suggest a sinister ritualistic element, where the villagers' desires are met at a great and dark cost. The sister's tea parties, initially seen as a source of hope, reveal a macabre twist as the villagers' wishes are granted through bloodshed and sacrifice.

As the story progresses, the sister's departure is marked by a final tea party where the villagers, now completely entranced, plead for eternity and paradise. The song concludes with a somber scene of a man weeping in the now desolate village, surrounded by the remains of those who believed they had found happiness. This ending highlights the tragic consequences of blind faith and the deceptive allure of seemingly miraculous solutions. 'Sister's Mercy' serves as a cautionary tale about the dangers of fanaticism and the high price of unfulfilled desires.
