Scarred by the falling of fiery stars, the land is reborn with new life.♪

God-slayer struck by an echoing roar, heavens ring with the promise of strife.♪

Beast and man, both, seek freedom or death in bloody inferno untamed.♪

By unbroken hopes, from a sky long undimmed shall the darkness of eld be reclaimed.♪

A merciless gale, an unending road, if this be the path we are fated,♪

Then pray be our dawn in the rift betwixt worlds, your soul's splendid light unabated.♪


I feel like the "new life" might be referring to the Terminus beasts and the echoing roar whatever entity is responsible for the towers and by extension the return of the Final Days.

It's the fourth and sixths verse that have me particularly curious, though.

I'd assume the former is referring to Zodiark's awakening/revival, though given that the unsundered Ascians are out of the picture now, those "unbroken hopes" may be referring the current denizens of the Source, rather then the Ancients.

The latter could be referencing where the current story arc meets its grand conclusion...which makes me wonder whether an attempt at a mass Rejoining is going to be made, or perhaps the shards will need to be somehow connected to the Source in order to ensure the survival of all creation, but without a proper Rejoining.

It's nice to get more food for thought prior to Endwalker's release, anyhow.
