Genealogy of Red, White and Black

Another beautiful song is composed by the amazing Hitoshshizuku-sama called the Genealogy of Red, White and Black, which is an amazing remake of the well-known fairytale Snow White. The song is sang by Lily (who is the queen in this story), Rin (snow white) and Len (The Prince).

It starts off with Lily sining first, about how she pricked her finger on the needle by the windowsill on a snowy day, then she made a wish of how she wanted her baby daughter Rin to grow as a beautiful girl with skin white as snow.

When Rin grew, Lily's wish came true, because Rin was known to be the world's beautifullest princess. But Lily found out her mistake when she became jealous because she once was the beautifullest, which ended up her bond with her own daughter who ran away from home and was nearly killed by the hitman that Lily sent. If you look at the english lyrics, Lily says: "Time passes, since then things started to go wrong, what grew behind the brightness was "immortality. Oh, that hand that reached out was shaken off, while she was confused and hurt, she always disgusted me." and "Bearing the groundless (blame) Being burned by the fires of hatred. What dripping from my heart is colored red. The「red」that you gave me that day." 
Which meant Lily was blaming her, so Rin who ran away with a broken heart showed red.

As Rin lived with the seven gnomes, Len (the prince) found Rin, and eventually fell in love her so much because of her beauty ( in the wiki, it said he turned Necrophiliac--which is a...'love' attraction to corpse...Just to make things more comfy, but wasn't quite sure) he ended up being full of lust and violence. He tries to kill Rin saying how it was her fault for being so beautiful and made him like that (blame). Rin felt hopeless (which represents white) to escape. The butterfly in the web that was captured by a spider showed the bond between Len and Rin.

Rin had enough of how people blamed her, and at the end, she turned just like Len by seeing her eyes.
