Windstone

A Song that plays at the start of Phase 2 in Ar tonelico Qoga: Knell of Ar Ciel.
It is heard while Richaryosha explains to Aoto and Saki about the history of Ar Ciel and Sol Cluster. 
It basically serves the role of an image song for Sol Cluster, making up an spiritual song composed of legends and traditions of the Clusterians, which have been passed down during ages in this region, reason why it's made of metaphors and spirituality, in comparison to the rest of the songs in the game which emphasize much more technology and efficiency.Ar tonelico III Hymmnos Concert Side Red ~SUZUNO=MIYA~ - Liner Notes, Windstone pageAr tonelico Qoga: Knell of Ar Ciel Setting Encyclopedia - Hymmnos Section, page 140 The title can also be translated as Weathervane and Symbol of the Wind.

The land is a cradle, from which the awakening dawn raises
To the skies and gives birth to the morning sun

The bonds of the lives extend their hands of salvation
Knowing they are the roots of the sea of trees that will extend eternally

Even the symbols and omens of destruction are ephemeral
As the power of wishes will call and awaken miracles
Oh, unguided Song of the wind
Continue running towards the morning of the future

Sing the vows of everything reflected in your eyes
The words of love spoken by the people will gather
And beautifully ascend to the galaxy high above the hills

The clear brooklets purify even the conflicts from previous lives
By putting them to sleep with the waves' sound

The proud hearts flicker in the transient world
While the ties of the echo of souls extend their branches

大地を 流るる

daichi o nagaruru
The reflection of the black darkness surpasses even the tears
And the light that symbolizes happiness is boisterously noisy
The lullaby of the ideal world will continue
Flowing throughout the land

天【あま】つ 機望【きぼう】を満たして
人は愛を語らひ集【つど】ふ

==Feelings Contained in This Song==
The land is a cradle, when the waking eastern sky shines white at the break of dawn
And the morning sunlight is born in the sky
Bonds of life stretches out their hands of salvation
Knowing that they're a forest of trees expanding their roots till eternity
Even foreboding omens that tell of destruction are fragile things that disappear like bubbles...
The power of prayer and wishes shall awaken miracles
Even without guidance, the wind shall sing
Run and stretch towards the future
With seeds as innocent as they were in a mother's embrace
Dwelling in your eyes that see the essence of things, play aloud this oath
Let's gather and light up the meaning of life
O galaxy heading towards land, in glittering beauty
...connect lives
Both the clear and resounding sounds and the pure murmuring of a river are fated from destiny and the life before
Even the steadily crackling flames that continue to burn and expand
Will be cleansed by that wave, and life built upon its continuous sounds is the journey of an ark
This present world is wavering and floating, its heart proud
No matter how small the chance, it will extend the branches of its heart
Overcoming tears, light shines through darkness as deeply embedded as a cypress's seed
Tracing the shape of happiness, the light twinkled in a merry light, full of warmth and laughter
A lullaby providing guidance to a wonderful place called paradise
Flows through the lands
Within the gentle arms of a mother, the melody that resounds like spirits that dwell in trees
Fill distant corners with the hope of moonlit nights close to full moon
Let us pour out our dreams to each other in love and gather
O galaxy heading towards land, with bright and far-reaching voices
