Lyrics[]

["It is said that the most beautiful sunset in the Realms is that viewed from Havenshore, as the fiery sun disc turns the Great Sea into an ocean of molten gold. The fresh breeze of the sea, the gulls calling over windswept dunes of sand and the tranquil comings and goings of an idyllic village; such a place is not an easy one to leave behind, but great is the yearning for adventure in a young heart. Precisely what made the Islander hoist the sails with but a few comrades eludes even me, but after he crossed the borders to our lands, our beloved Val'inthor of many glades, he often spoke of fervent dreams that haunted him every single night. A dark robed figure, drawing ever nearer for each sweat soaked night and the promise of grim deeds and opressive tyranny. Though there was also hope in these dreams; a vague and distant voice calling out to him, drawing his gaze towards the east, to the Old World which he had heard so many a story of as a young boy. The visage called him by a name unknown to him, in a tongue never uttered on the shores of the Great Isle since before the time of the First King; the name was one which would not leave the hearts of men for a thousand years. That name was Ilmarion."]

Booklet Lyrics (Japanese)[]

「この世で最も美しい夕日が望めるのはヘイヴンショアからだと言われている。円盤のような灼熱の太陽が大海原を黄金の海へと姿を変える。爽やかな海風、その海風に吹かれる砂丘の上空でカモンが鳴き。そして田園風原が広がるのどかな村を静けさが行き来する。そこから離れるのは決してかんたんなことではない。それほど素敵らしい場所なのである。しかし、若き心の冒険に対する思いはそれ以上に強かった。島人が数人の仲間と共に船出を決意させた要因をはっきりと思い出すことはできない。低湿地に満ちた我らが愛するヴァリントールの国境を超えた時、毎晩のように呪う熱烈な夢の話を彼はし始めた。冷や汗に満ちた夜、黒装束に身をまとった人物が迫り、卑劣な行為と堪え難い暴政を約束する。しかし、彼の夢には希望も存在した。遠くで微かな声が彼を呼ぶ顔、彼の視線を東へと向けた。子供の頃に聞いたいくつもの物語で語られた東の古き世界。聞いたこともない名前で彼を呼ぶ顔。偉大なる島の初代の王が誕生する遥か昔から千年以上も離れることのない名前。その名はイルマリオン。」
