The second part is the battle music for Ganglion, Gularth, Sylooth, and Mechanoids if the party are on foot when the battle is initiated, as well as the following story battles:

The second part also plays during numerous battles in Normal and Affinity Missions, including the following:

Lyrics[edit]

(mpi)
Let's find the key we've lost
Just try to live your life
The sun goes down with all my faults
So where's your feeling
And where is your life?

Let's find the key we've lost
Just try to live your life
The sun goes down with all my faults
So where's your feeling
And where is your life?

(Mika Kobayashi)
Let's find the key we've lost
As all the people cry in vain
Just try to live your life
The endless sky where I can fly
Tell me what you're thinking?
Tell me what's your way
The end is always here
This world locked up in a war

There's a voice that saves your heart and my soul
The sun goes down with all my faults
So where's your feeling
And where is your life?
All the clouds, hang dark
No one is ever seen

This world locked up in a war
