In the land of Sumeru, upon which a red sky now sits,
Where the trees used to stand tall, and the buildings even taller,
The hand of destruction came,
The dream has ended.
Golden sands reach godless lands
And the Gods are dead, dead, dead,
Lush rainforests have succumbed into the dull greyness,
Leaving vast, empty, and leveled ground.
Kaveh, O Kaveh,
Light of Kshahrewar,
How should you look upon your works today?
Shattered, standing still, in ruins.
Palace of Alcazarzaray, should your maker gaze upon you, shall he weep?
Shards of your legacy are all that remain.
Kaveh, O Kaveh, whose pride and praise was earned
Where is your pride now?
After the war, none remain,
Not even one was spared Celestia's reckoning.
