Sadness was the price to see it end. It's been two years since they told me that.
—Marlene, in the prologue of Advent Children
"The Promised Land", composed by Nobuo Uematsu, is the opening theme of Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children. It is notably played while Marlene Wallace is narrating the events of Final Fantasy VII. It is played again near the end of the film when Aerith Gainsborough calls down healing rain from the Lifestream.
- Cur in gremio haeremus
- Cur poenam cardi parvo damus
- Stella nobis non concessit
- Non concessit
- Stella nobis non concessit
- Non concessit
- Venarum pulsus in terram fluens
- Parvus, parvus pulsus
- Cor mortem ducens
- Vita mollis in stellam redeunt
- Animam sacrificare necesse est
- Cur in gremio haeremus
- Cur veniam petimus
- In terram fatali
