== Lyrics ==
The official lyrics were released on the Final Fantasy XIII-2: Original Soundtrack.
:Just as the light begins to fade to dark
:The moaning wind sings songs to my forebodings
:Am I alone with no one watching o'er
:If I do fall will no one come to save me
:Oh cursed fates eternally
:Delivering your doom
:But know true hope is born
:My faith is stronger than your agonies
:Hope survives your pain
:Though Prophecies foretell us of the End
:It doesn't mean that we have to believe them
:Hope's burdens weigh me down oh this is true
:But they bring life that truly does sustain me
:I'll conquer time, defeat it
:I'll change the past, my future
:If any Gods are listening
:Answer my prayers
