Haruka tooku yoru o koete
Sabaku no umi o samayou

Kami no koe wa shinkirou
Wasurerareta hitobito

Kage wa shiroku yurameki tatsu
Ima hitotabi no maboroshi

Aoku moeru yuusha no yume
Towa ni nemuru hitobito

Crossing the distant night,
Wandering the desert sea.

The gods' voices are mirages;
The forgotten people.

Shadows flicker palely, then stand;
For one moment, an illusion.

A hero's dream, burning blue,
The people, sleeping forever.
