Lyrics:
Lune (To the Queen of the Sylphs)
Divine asleep in the sap and bark of the elm,
The gate and spells unveil your true realm.
We kneel before you, O mother forlorn,
So you no longer shall mourn.
To bring the light upon the mighty stone, my sword ignites.
May you reach your throne in the garden’s great heights.
The Queen of the Sylphs (To Lune and Feather)
Child of the moon bearing one deprived of true will,
Into your dreams my wisdom I have spilled.
(To Feather, her Forgekin son)
Son, end your curse – for salvation you have come,
And you are forgiven – let us restore my realm’s freedom.
Lune and the Queen of the Sylphs
Feathers shall rise from the deep abyss,
Great cascades will roar from high cliffs,
Wild gales shall dance in quivering bliss,
As bestowed by the Queen of the Sylphs.
Feather
My flesh is fragile – I cannot deny.
I’ll wield a blade with my mortal cry.
The wizard returned to human’s weak shell.
Within, my heart I repel.
Lune (To Feather)
I fought with your steel,
I want to win with your true self revealed.
We’ll force them to kneel,
So the world may heal.
The Queen of the Sylphs (To Lune and Feather)
You must ally with a long-forgotten shade:
The last of her kind, still hidden in my glades.
The dragon of flame from the Golden Egg will hatch,
For you are worthy to fight beside her – omens all match.
The Queen of the Sylphs (To Lune and Feather)
When I was lost within my own dreams,
I envisioned a truth, till now unseen:
The dragon and you will be fierce allies,
And against the Cult, you three shall rise,
For their blood-filled grail is the source of corruption.
The Golden Egg hatches, giving birth to the dragoness Caelórien.
The Queen of the Sylphs (To Caelórien)
O child of stone, long safe within my lands.
I hear you moan; your tears made of sand.
Into the light, soon joyful, you’ll ascend.
To the storms of mankind, you’ll bring a charred end.
Narrator
The crimson dragon, of its breed the last,
Grew strong and tall, as if a spell had been cast.
After one glance at Lune and Feather,
It deemed them worthy for something greater.
They will fly to stop the ritual.
For now, they rest within the garden’s wooden halls.
Lune and the Queen of the Sylphs
Feathers shall rise from the deep abyss,
Great cascades will roar from high cliffs,
Wild gales shall dance by an ancient pledge,
As bestowed by the Golden Egg.
