    Anyone know the COMPLETE Garlean anthem lyrics? [a few spoilers]

    Hey guys. Just finished the MSQ, and while watching the ending credits, they play a version of the Garlean anthem that goes on for quite a bit longer than the subtitled lyric version that shows up in an early cutscene. I just cannot make heads or tails of what they're singing. ; )

    I did a quick search, but couldn't find anything. I know a few of you have been listening to this stuff for quite a long time in trailers--does anyone know the complete lyrics? Sorry if this has been asked and answered elsewhere!

    Thanks so much!

    Thought I'd post what we are shown in the early MSQ cutscene.

    Verse 1:
    Beyond majestic mountains, across the emerald dale,
    On march the ivory standard, united we prevail!
    From distant shores of Othard, to lakes of Aldenard,
    The light of mighty Garlemald, fore'er our guiding star.

    Verse 2:
    ???

    Verse 3:
    ???

    Here is a link to the end credits to hear the full anthem. [Naturally spoilers.]

    The words to the Ala Mhigan anthem are:

    O come ye wayward brotheres, bereft of hearth and home
    Beneath yon burning star there lies a haven for the bold.
    Raise up your hands and voices, let fill your hearts with pride,
    Above the churning waters we stand strong and unified.


    It's about how people fleeing from the Flood (Calamity of Water) followed Rhalgr (the burning star) to a new home. The hymn is quite probably properly the Ala Mhigan anthem, which the Garleans co-opted to tighten their hold on the Ala Mhigans.

    I hope we get orchestration rolls of both and not just the Ala Mhigan one because the Garlean version is far better.

    The Garlean version will always be the true version of it for me!

    Ala Mhigan version? Pft!

    At the bottom of this page and on the next page we came up with some lyrics for the trailer version, and one person tried to get as much as they could out of the cutscene version. Obviously, until official lyrics are posted we're just guessing.

    Garlean Territorial Anthem

    Beyond majestic mountains
    Across the emerald dale
    On march the ivory standard
    United we prevail

    From distant shores of Othard
    To lakes of Aldenard
    The light of mighty Garlemald
    For e'er our guiding star

    Beneath the lofty heavens
    With tired hands we toil
    In iron do we clad our hearts
    And cloudless are our souls

    Yet every trial suffered
    And every ally mourned
    Do bring us solidarity
    Our spirits stand untorn

    Behold the boundless legions
    Whose wings embrace the sun
    Their fire rains down upon the land
    Until their course is run

    By mercy of Lord Galvus—
    The pride within us all—
    Shall we be granted victory
    For glory, Garlemald
