Lyrics

Romanized transcription pending
Fools will question...where would the queen head

After abandoning her impregnable castle?
The wise shall know...no matter how solid a defense one might boast of
There is no castle that won't fall...

Britannian calendar year 627『The Battle at Canterbury』
The fourth platoon of knights led by captain Parsifal
Marched to fend off the first wave of empire soldiers that landed on Dover
Engaging them in combat on the plains of Canterbury

We shall fear no enemy and swing our swords to protect our country
O, comrades who bear the noble rose of the queen upon your chests
Let us march on! We are the <Knights of the Rose>!

The knights of rose that fear not even death follow in his footsteps...
A streak of thunder that roams the crimson battlefield, Parsifal's spear
Let us march on! We are the <Knights of the Rose>!

It’s time, there’s the reaper! It’s time, there’s the reaper!
[Chrono, Velesa! Chrono, Velesa!]
It’s time, the hour has come! Look! The reaper!
[Chrono, Venies! Vidies! Velesa!]

The first year of the imperial calender『The Battle at Grasmere』
The third platoon of imperial soldiers led by General Alvarez
Landed on a border area, Whiteheaven
Riding on horses that dashed like gale, they snuck up on enemy camp from the back...

Forget that there are those who love and pray for the ones we killed
Let us exterminate all heretics! Don't avert your eyes, this is a <Holy War>!

Burning mountain villages; massacred people
A girl too slow in her escape; the man who chased after her
He drew an arrow on his horse, and locked onto his prey
The released arrow of flame grazed the thin girl's body

"Charlotte!"

The girl stumbled and fell; a man jumped out
And countered the blade that was swung down on her
The motionless girl; two men facing each other
Here...is Alvarez on a white horse
There...is Gefenbauer on a black horse

"What are you trying to do to an unarmed person?"
"She might be a mere girl, but she's still a heretic. There's no need for me to pity her..."
"Don't go down the wrong path! Open your eyes..."
"I don't want to hear that from you...hypocrite, hero maniac, murderer <Reaper of Belga>[Albelge]"

"My dad died at Offenburg...my older brother...my younger brother...my comrades...are all..."

"Wait...you bastard, are you betraying the empire? ...well, fine with me. <Reaper of Belga>[Albelge]...don't forget the name of the man who will kill you! His name is <Reaper of Belga’s Repaer>[Gefenbauer]!"

Mistakes repeated over and over again, just what could we learn from history?
There is darkness that we notice only after inflicting and suffering deprivation...

It’s time, there’s the reaper! It’s time, there’s the reaper!
[Chrono, Velesa! Chrono, Velesa!]
It’s time, the hour has come! Look! The reaper!
[Chrono, Venies! Vidies! Velesa!]

A white horse galloped through the narrow mountain paths like wind
A man with silvery armor sat on the horse
Embracing the injured girl, he ran south...

"Gefenbauer...eyes that tell of hatred and curse the world...
That man was me, he was my past...Lotte...ah....Charlotte...just how should I fight?"
