(Verse 1) Ten thousand years beneath a shattered sky An ancient ugly temple where the Kuluu lie In the shadows of a small fishing town Two waking princes aspire to the crown Kam'lanaut claims to synthesize the light He'll edify Jeuno to a dizzying height But the Archduke unites the nations for war Now the shadows rise fast, and their Lord's at the door! (Chorus) Altana forfend, the Crystal Line burns bright! Crags ignite! Holla, Mea, Dem, and Vahzl alight As mother crystals dim, it's Emptiness within In a vast Promyvion of forlorn hopes Is this the fate Altana wrote? (Verse 2) Raogrimm's fall means the Shadow Lord slain. A dark knight gone, the soldier bears chains. A young face, an eyepatch, an immortal smile. In truth the elder, waiting all the while. With the gods asleep the land will bleed. A sundered realm his words will heed. But our pain, our sins, await down the hall. In the light of the moon, Divine Might calls! (Chorus) Altana forfend, the Crystal Line burns bright! Crags ignite! Holla, Mea, Dem, and Vahzl alight As mother crystals dim, it's Emptiness within In a vast Promyvion of forlorn hopes Is this the fate Altana wrote? (Bridge) Climb Delkfutt's Tower and break the stellar seal Crystal warriors hold the line for Vana'diel! Restoring the past, they did whatever they pleased We'll slay the gods he released! (Guitar Solo / Instrumental Break) (Chorus) Altana forfend, the Crystal Line burns bright! Crags ignite! Holla, Mea, Dem, and Vahzl alight As mother crystals dim, it's Emptiness within In a vast Promyvion of forlorn hopes Is this the fate Altana wrote? (Outro) Crystal Warriors draw their blades In a sky-high garden the ancients made The sky is falling down... The sea it comes to drown... Can you hear the sound...? Our Virtue's gaining ground.
