(Chirithy)
You'd think that the children of Light would prevail
And keep the worlds all safe and sound
The leaders' identities finally revealed
Their destinies finally unbound
But there’s no happy endings, not here and not now
This tale is all sorrows and woes
You may dream that justice and peace win the day
But that’s not how the story goes
(Ira & Aced)
You would think that the leaders so brave and so true
(Invi)
Together all evils would face
(Ava)
But I’m sad to say I have bad news for you
(Gula)
A traitor sent them led astray
(Foretellers)
And there’s no happy endings, not here and not now
This tale is all sorrows and woes
You may dream that justice and peace win the day
But that’s not how the story goes
(Lauriam)
I once knew a girl, and she thought well of me
(Strelitzia)
I wished that we could stay together
(Lauriam)
But now I’m alone, as you can well see
(Strelitzia)
If only I could have done better…
(Lauriam & Strelitzia)
Yes there’s no happy endings, not here and not now
This tale is all sorrows and woes
You may dream that justice and peace win the day
But that’s not how the story goes
(Ephemer)
We fought for a life that we thought we could have
(Blaine)
Narrowly our deaths could avoid
(Skuld)
We thought that with us many others would go
(Ephemer, Blaine & Skuld)
But that’s not how the story goes
(Elrena)
Some people say that we choose our own fate
Some say we don’t have a choice
(Master of Masters)
I saw what would happen, what could not be changed
(Luxu)
We learned how the story goes
(Nightmare Chirithy)
That’s just how the story goes
