Curses praised in pale moonlight
Fire is raised into the night
Dance before the flame and we proclaim
Our future disdained we run to the rain
Near the end of time
Our castles all sublime
Shattered by the old gods
In cosmic wrath divine
Sailing cross the seas
We fell upon this beach
Settled in a new world
To declare ourselves free
Spreading like a plague
With all our futures vague
We found the dirt and placed the spades
Cut the earth with our blades
Climbing mountains tall
Where we could see it all
We rose up might towers
And we'll never see them fall
Higher to the end
Our island home, defend
Once we lost our great city
We'll never lose again
Final, make the stand
We built it by our hand
No one shall ever drive us out
This is our island
For our forefathers' sake
We lay it all at stake
Riding through the chaos storm
Our city on a lake
A home of crystal spires
With walls of ice inspired
On the side of glaciers borne
Eyes to the skies inquire
Deep beneath the ground
A metal pounding sound
In the light of glowing stones
Our miners can be found
And hidden in the wastes
The desert sands await
Carving with our tools of bone
We gave each stone a face
Higher to the end
Our island home, defend
Once we lost our great city
We'll never lose again
Final, make the stand
We built it by our hand
No one shall ever drive us out
This is our island
Now listen to the breeze
And see them in the trees
Villages made out of wood
The homes of the free
Through volcanic air
And magma's furious glare
A city burns because we could
And still we're living there
The prophecy foretold
That heroes great and old
They would come and be the ones
To guard this land and hold
So temples built and shrines
To stand the test of time
Honoring those who would come
We sing aloud this rime
Higher to the end
Our island home, defend
Once we lost our great city
We'll never lose again
Final, make the stand
We built it by our hand
No one shall ever drive us out
This is our island
