The beat of destiny cracking through the silence
A distant memory was calling me
At the foot of the cliff, no one knows
The forgotten shrine
Sleeping power, waking time
The world seemed to creak slightly
I never asked to be "the chosen one"
But still—I couldn't run away
Someone is waiting for me, looking for help
Even lost, I took that first step forward
Left in this little hand
Let the blade of memory guide me
A boy and a girl carrying scars
And a cold wind testing them both
There were nights when words couldn't reach us
But we still didn't leave each other
That day, your trembling voice laughed
"Even if you're scared, let's keep going."
You were more dependable than any monster
I...at that moment...I swore
If there is a bond heavier than life
I will protect you no matter the cost
If we can share even the pain
I will not let this world end
When we arrived at journey's end
What we found was a nostalgic dream
A gentle smile that should've vanished
"Farewell" revealed a strength of its own
Another's justice split the sky
Breaking even what we held so dear
Yet still I chose to believe
That light would remain beyond the war
Even if you're no longer under this sky
The memories live inside my heart
Even if you're forgotten beyond time
My heart cries out "I loved you"
The wind stopped, the sky became clear
The long night quietly dawned
No one has to fight anymore
Just smile beside someone you love
The blade of memory returns to the earth
And the seed of hope gently sprouts
And again, in a new world
Someone starts a story--
The light won't fade, as long as it lives within
Even if our names are lost to time
If only these feelings can reach you now
Then forever... I'll be with you
