Pernelle, Harpsona, Sunarika and Tsukino Crystal - Neath Dark Waters (from Final Fantasy XIV)

Like an echo that none can reprise
Like a hero yearning for paradise
Like a morrow bereaved of sunrise
An afterglow of hope and its demise

Tread our memory, imagine our prime
Bathed in glory, how high we used to climb
Our eulogy, forlorn and sublime
Tolls quietly, drowned by the sands of time

Under the mask, one spark of warmth bravely prevails
(Not letting go to the end)
Familiar voices beckon you to bygone trails
(Reunite with new old friends)
Rest for a while — here, you can dream away the past
(Our sun has set, please come back)
Lingering on until we draw our last

Hear this timeless melody, lullaby of truth unsaid
Keepsake of their pledge
So it sounds in this haven of phantoms and fallen
Our swan song, this lonely serenade, oh

- Endless echoes, deafening whispers
Fearless heroes, their justice short-sighted
As each tear falls to long-dried rivers
Again, it calls, this home we deserted -

(Beneath dark waves), look through the surface
(Upon our graves), an amber (flower bloomed)
(Void of purpose), spring of (catharsis)
(Remember us), in our ideals entombed

Blurry the face, yet that knowing smile still prevails
(Keep believing to the end)
Familiar voices entice you with ancient tales
(Close your eyes — just play pretend)
Try to reach out, but our hearts tick away too fast
(Too late now, we can't go back)
The curtain falls as you stand here at last

Thus trembles eternity when destiny bares your blade
Step up on our stage
Reflections blissful in prayer, we wait for redemption
Oblivious, bound to your stories' shade, oh
