They are the last hope
For men, dragons and dwarves
Spirits of the forest
Shy elves and trolls
Five go from Elgard
Into the darkness leaving the light
To find the Black Order's
Immortal dark rhymes
To find the written words
Of Hellgod's unholy son
Prevent him from returning and save the whole world
Through the Valley of Sin
Led by the whispers of holy wind
Into Dar-Kunor, new saga begins
For men, dragons and dwarves
Spirits of the forest
Shy elves and trolls
Five go from Elgard
Into the darkness leaving the light
To find the Black Order's
Immortal dark rhymes
To find the written words
Of Hellgod's unholy son
Prevent him from returning and save the whole world
Through the Valley of Sin
Led by the whispers of holy wind
Into Dar-Kunor, new saga begins

Bahamut: Enough. The test of courage will reveal the true identity of the enlightened warrior.
Black Mage: This isn't some insipid quest wrought with danger, is it?
Bahamut: No.
Black Mage: Oh, good.
Bahamut: It is the ultimate quest. The quest for identity.
Black Mage: ...I think you're confused about what 'insipid' means.
"To dream the impossible dream;
To fight the unbeatable foe;
To bear with unbearable sorrow;
To run where the brave dare not go;
To right the unrightable wrong;
To love, pure and chaste from afar;
To try, when your arms are too weary,
To reach the unreachable star!
This is my quest, to follow that Star,
No matter how hopeless, no matter how far;
To fight for the right, without question or pause,
To be willing to march into Hell for a Heavenly cause!
And I know if I'll only be true to this glorious quest,
That my heart will lie peaceful and calm when I'm laid to my rest.
And the world will be better for this,
That one man, scorned and covered with scars,
Still strove with his last ounce of courage,
To fight the unbeatable foe!
To reach the unreachable Star!"

There's a place I must go
There's a place I must go
It's not a place I have seen
But I'll get there in a new dream
