AuthorNote:
Look...I know TOO MANY PEOPLE have rewritten this song. I'm not looking for reviews, I'm just sharing my own version ^_^ I tried to NOT copy ANY lyrics from the original (I worked along to the tune in my head without a lyrics sheet in front of me :P), so it's really different. Also, since it's not a *copy* of the original in any way, the tune could also be changed. Although it's fanwork, it's also an *original* intellectual work, and cannot be distributed freely. However, "Althena" *is* not my property (obviously) so I can't profit from it. I know, I know...you were about to offer up millions to me in adoration, but I cannot accept it ^_~ And, as another note: I know that the moon doesn't really revolve. Therefore it's *impossible* for the Earth to rise - it would always be in the sky! But I ignored this, just like the game authors did (the game features day and night sequences, like the Earth...)
Okay, enough yap-yap. Enjoy my edit! ^_^

Untitled (Luna's Boat Song ~Planetary Variation~)
~*~
Looking up into the evening sky,
witnessing the planet rise
into the horizon,
shining like a newborn star,
piercing through the onyx skies...
Aa...the Heavens bow before the sight
realizing the beauty...
Even Althena could not
stand before its pure, cleansing light!
Are the angels envious of Her beauty?
Or is there some other being more worthy?
They say there is another who
may surpass her easily...
Do they offer songs in honor of her sight?
Do they dance enchanted by her silvery light?
Only time passing can tell us if
they do or don't (can or won't)
...but will that time come?
