十三番目の黙示録 (Juusan-banme no Mokushiroku)

Background
The thread of fate twists and tangles… "The Apocalypse 13th" is an original song by teamOS. It was made for Len and Rin's 7th anniversary.

Based on the Sleeping Beauty tale, this song narrates the story of a cursed princess (Rin), who sleeps alone in a castle covered in thorns. She has fallen asleep by pricking her finger on the 13th spindle, a hundred years ago.

One day, a man (Len; presumed a prince) meets in his dream a princess, and falls in love with her. He feels that she is begging him for help, and starts a journey. He finally reaches her castle, and makes a path through the thorns climbing up the tower where the princess sleeps. Once he reaches the room, after kissing her she wakes up, and cries. He hugs and comforts her gently, but she moves away of him, half-transformed into a monster. The 13th spindle was made to prick the cursed child who will bring destruction to the world, and the princess, knowing this, begs the man to kill her.

However, he doesn't have the heart, and at the end, the lovers jump from the tower's window, hand in hand, together.

It is implied that prior to the song's events, there were 12 more spindles, which pricked different princesses. A "seal" was put on each of them that put them to sleep, either for 100 years and/or until they are kissed, presumably by their true love. However, when each of the princesses woke up, they transformed fully into monsters, causing "apocalypses"; the 13th apocalypse, which this song describes, is seemingly the only one successfully stopped.

This song has entered the Hall of Fame. It is featured in the albums If the World 2 and Mistletoe ~Kamigami no Yadorigi~.
