(Fade in to various places.)

Long ago, in the ancient past

I remember a life when we first met

(Cut to Kratos kneeling in the darkness.)

In a dark shadow realm under a big full moon

(Cut to a scene of the Otherwordly Gate under a full moon.)

There and then, I could tell

You'd try to break my will

(Cut to the group facing Kuwachina and several Papal Knights.)

But now, watch as I rise to a whole new height

And our mad battle cry will be heard all night

(Cut to a scene of all nine characters walking out of the darkness.)

You keep on playin'

(Cut to Colette chucking one of her chakram at a shark monster.)

Those dark shadow games, and

(Cut to Raine taking down an enemy.)

No, I won't be beat again

(Cut to Genis using magic.)

You keep on playin'

(Cut to Zelos pulling out his sword.)

Those dark shadow games, and

(Cut to Regal doing a low kick.)

Oh, this time I'll claim my fame

(Cut to the group walking in the desert.)

So now you'll know after time has passed

You can never be sure you're always the best

(Cut to Kratos in a forest, then cut to Lloyd, Colette and Sheena facing him.)

'Cause I'm back from the shadows comin' after you

On the brightest day of your darkest hour

(Cut to a view of a forest as figures race through it.)

So now, watch as I rise to a whole new height

And our mad battle cry will be heard all night

(Cut to Lloyd running at a giant skeleton.)

You keep on playin'

(Cut to the group on a ship sailing the ocean.)

Those dark shadow games, and

(Cut to Presea taking out a golem.)

No, I won't be beat again

(Cut to Sheena defeating a monster.)

You keep on playin'

(Cut to Lloyd attacking a bunch of zombies.)

Those dark shadow games, and

(Cut to the group standing on a hill.)

Oh, this time I'll claim my fame

(Cut to Zelos with a group of women.)

Oh, oh, oh, oh

(Cut to a shot of the Tower of Salvation.)

You destroyed the future with your past

(Cut to Regal and Presea in a flaming area.)

Forgot the lesson of the test

(Cut to a scene of when Lloyd and Genis are banished from Iselia. Both boys look angry and hurt.)

You never understood the blessed

(Cut to a shot of the Mana Tree.)

Too bad today will be your last

(Cut to a scene of Mithos turning into Yggdrasill, then cut to reaction shots of the other characters.)

So now, watch as I rise to a whole new height

And our mad battle cry will be heard all night

(Cut to Lloyd as he clenches his fists, then turquoise-colored wings sprout from his back and he takes off into the sky.)

No, I won't be beat again
