Lyrics[]
The official lyrics were released on the Final Fantasy XIII-2: Original Soundtrack.
- Just as the light begins to fade to dark
- The moaning wind sings songs to my forebodings
- Am I alone with no one watching o'er
- If I do fall will no one come to save me
- Oh cursed fates eternally
- Delivering your doom
- But know true hope is born
- My faith is stronger than your agonies
- Hope survives your pain
- Though Prophecies foretell us of the End
- It doesn't mean that we have to believe them
- Hope's burdens weigh me down oh this is true
- But they bring life that truly does sustain me
- I'll conquer time, defeat it
- I'll change the past, my future
- If any Gods are listening
- Answer my prayers
