[Intro: Elspeth Eastman]
Intra Ishgar
Sanctus Terra
Ignis Daemones
Caelum Terrore
Cecidit Heroes
Deus Ventus
Mors Sequitor
Oh, Dragoon
[Verse 1: AntiRivet]
A horde of wyverns scrape the skies
One thousand years we fought this war
Our spears have pierced their blackened hearts
The holy see' we're fighting for
[Chorus: Josef Falkensköld]
The children of the keeper of the lake
Come to take away
They will destroy the holy land
So Heavensward we fly this day
[Verse 2: AntiRivet]
This is a gambit for survival
We are battle tested
Prepare to face these demons
Of this, there is no question
The wayward relics of an age
Forgotten to the stars
A plummet raining down
The terror of the sky shards
[Pre-Chorus: AntiRivet]
I raise my lance, defend! My brothers in the battle
I jump so high and then I feel my soul unravel
Slaying the beast within the skies
I am diving to depths unknown, upon Highwind!
This storm a mark of doom, the dark, Monsoon!
I fear no pain, no death, I am a Dragoon
[Final Chorus: Josef Falkensköld]
Our land governed before the sun
The holy ones they face their doom
The demons hear the primal song
And so they've come to slay dragoons
The children of the keeper of the lake
Come to take away
They will destroy the holy land
So Heavensward we fly this day
[Bridge: Josef Falkensköld & AntiRivet]
For Ishgard must be saved
Our pride's all that remains
Wyverns breathe your last flames
These are your final days
[Outro: AntiRivet, Josef Falkensköld]
There's pain inside, but I must go
(Intra Ishgard, Sanctus Terra)
Where death resides, I still have hope
(Salus Nostra, Sanctus Miles)
Heavensward
