Lyrics
The final line of the English lyrics only plays on the soundtrack, never in game, as the in-game music loops over the penultimate line. The piece also has official Japanese lyrics according to the booklet of the Xenoblade Chronicles Original Soundtrack Trinity Box, as follows. Curiously, and uniquely to this track among the booklet's Japanese lyrics, these are significantly different in meaning from the English lyrics used in the song.

English lyrics
Shadows of the lowland leading to the cold and darkened days Without any hope, without a light for long Will this suffering ever come to an end one day...?

Even so, pride keeps us strong today, glory will be with us Now the time has come to fight and seize the day When will our prayers be heard high up in the sky above? Soon fate will show us the place where we belong

Suddenly, a gleam of dawn Can you feel the power of faith? Our native land, here we stand as one

Shadows of the lowland leading to the cold and darkened days Our path...

Japanese lyrics
ルクスリア　光の民 雲海の底へと　身をひそめ 幾星霜の年月を　耐え忍び 光無き空を　仰ぐ民たちよ さあ　光射す大空へ

ルクスリア　光の民 誉れ高き　曙光の英雄 その血を引きし　民たちよ 今日　その時が来た さあ　光射す大空へ

Literal translation
Tantal, People of Light Hiding at the Bottom of the Cloud Sea Enduring for Many Months and Years Peoples Looking Up at the Lightless Sky Now, Towards the Light-Shining Heavens

Tantal, People of Light Renowned Hero(es) of Dawn Peoples Descended from That Blood Today, That Time has Come Now, Towards the Light-Shining Heavens
