Beneath the stars, and the ruins of despair
amidst the dark when it seems too much to bare
gaze up to where the wind does chime
stand strong, a new dawn begins to shine
one final breath, a final effort will suffice
to defeat this world, all its evil in disguise
gaze up to where the wind does chime
stand strong no defeat while there's still time
See how pouring from the skies,
all that we've wept for, comes back in through your eyes
Feel how blooming from inside
a force is gathering from all of us who have died
One final breath
It’s the will to carry on
Embrace your fate
our kindred must go on
withstand this pain
and let the fury guide your soul
don’t fall
not now when so close to the end
so close to the end...
Our strength remains we'll fight through it all
Let’s break our chains, this darkness will fall
our dreams never end, we'll conquer the dawn
remember this day when your strength is gone...
