Lyrics

Romanized transcription pending
The defection of Alvarez sent shock waves rippling not only within the Empire,

But also throughout the entire continent of Garia...

The era seeks for a hero, and counterattacks were launched one after another
The former region of Castilla announced independence from the empire
The former region of Lombardo and former region of Preuzehn follow its lead
The accumulated hatred for holy war finally reached its breaking point in the empire

Holding Alvarez as an example, soldiers and peasants alike rushed to defect
Forced into fierce battles form all four directions,
The empire continued to lose territory, its power exhausted...
And...the changing tides of war brought one decision upon this era...

That is...one letter addressed by Emperor St. Childebert VI
To the queen of Britannia...

4th year of the imperial calender『Verseine cease-fire agreement convention』
Imperial territory, palace of Yvelines Verseine
The queen of roses proceeds through the marble corridors
On her left is Parsifal, on her right is Alvarez
Within the shade of the pillar is an uninvited guest...

An assassin sent by the Black Order...
A fatal strike of time made from a blind spot...
Ah...history does not allow alterations...

Within the frozen time
Alvarez crumbled to his knees
Parsifal's thunder spear flashed
And Gefenbauer fell as well

Is that...the moment when history changed its course?
Or was everything decided from the very beginning?

"...so you went first...Gefenbauer...
Humans are...such sad beings..."

Even within the final darkness that invites him...

"Ah...how red...what a red sunset...
Charlotte...I'll definitely...definitely come back..."


Year 630 of the Britannian calendar. The hero Albers Alvarez
Fell to the strike of an assassin within the palace of Yvelines[Verseine]...carved on his tombstone
Is one stanza from a poem Luna Ballad dedicated to him...

He killed many; and spared as many. He troubled many; and fulfilled as many.
Ah...<Brethren of Belga>[Arbelge] rests here...

The great war that involved the whole of Garia seems all but unstoppable now
When it reached its finale...more blood and tears would've been shed
And 5 years would've passed...

A hill stained by the sunset. Two tombstones nestled close to each other.
The white crow flies on bravely, beyond the endless sky...

Translated by Defade.
