Thordan's Reign
“人龙合奏，千年战诗。
为斩因果，圆桌降世。”
The song of war 'twixt wyrm and man♪
Some thousand years ago began,♪
When mortals grasped for godly might,♪
Defaming name of king and knight...♪
“人神交织，剑鸣魔域。
光之战士，继友遗志。”
...In Azys Lla, for woe or weal,♪
Did holy will meet righteous steel,♪
And thence was high divinity♪
Compelled by Light to bend the knee.♪
【没什么关系的前奏】
雪花飞舞的雪原，广阔无垠的云海，
人迹罕至的灵峰，百废待兴的废都……
还有从那遥远时间长河的彼岸苏醒的魔大陆。
六花吹き荒れる雪原、大空に広がる雲海、
人拒む峻厳なる霊峰、生まれ変わる廃都……
そして、遥かな時の彼方より蘇る魔大陸。
The frozen tundra you braved, and into the vault of the heavens you ascended. To a sacred peak, both temple and tomb. To a ruined city, reborn and resettled. To a citadel of the ancients you ventured, parting the misty veil of millennia.
你和同伴们那段铭刻于苍穹之上的旅程，
请务必为我讲述一番……
蒼天に刻まれた、君と仲間たちの旅路。
そのすべてを僕に聞かせてくれ……。
The journey made by you and your companions has made its mark upon the stars...and I would hear the tale in its entirety.

Nidhogg's Rage
“生命长河，滔滔绵延，圣龙咆哮天地变。
恍如泡影，昙花一现，爱之歌响彻千年。”
Eternal is a dragon's woe,♪
Unceasing doth his anguish flow,♪
Yet 'fore the walls of Ishgard high,♪
'Gainst blood did Hraesvelgr ally.♪
“铺天遮地，狂岚之怨，邪龙怒嚎血光溅。
战场尽头，孤影自怜，哀之诗消散人间。”
Eternal is a dragon's rage,♪
Dread Nidhogg's wrath did span an age,♪
Yet by his hated brother's eye,♪
Did light quell shade, and vengeance die.♪

A Song of Steam and Steel
“流浪之民求故乡，青蓝之手请神现。”
O friends far and near, I challenge you all,♪
To think of a marvel so strange or so tall,♪
A steely skinned giant whose veins coursed with steam,♪
In whose bright burnished bosom foul goblins did scheme,♪
A heaven to they who therein did dwell,♪
But one whose mere being made all else a hell.♪
“机械之城破水间，身姿如神巨擎天。
五指挥下天地颤，白剑再出光绚烂……”
Forsooth, he could not well be left to abide,♪
So into his huge hand a hero did stride,♪
And battled through legions to reach his hard heart,♪
Conspiring at last to rend it apart.♪
His core being no more, the giant fell still,♪
Though the goblins remained there to plot further ill...♪

A Refrain for the Undaunted
“钢铁之城，生于祈愿。纯白长剑，降临世间。
道路尽头，云蒸雾绕。魔法巨人，镇座敌前。”
In the giant's iron innards, the goblins did toil,♪
Through sunrise and sunset, intruders to foil,♪
Till the limb of their lodging did chance to awake,♪
A path for our weariless hero to make,♪
And thus did he/she aim for the beast's second heart,♪
Cleaving both it and its keepers apart.♪
“钝色玄钢，冷冽锋芒。光辉绽放，是圣是狂？
祈愿之上，展翅翱翔。翼之所及，撕裂苍茫……”
Yet in spite of his/her triumph, the goblins all laughed,♪
And by means lost to meaning, in victory basked.♪
Yea, the giant of steel was far more than it seemed,♪
With power beyond knowing, potential ungleaned.♪
And thus was our hero compelled to withdraw,♪
Resolved to return and do battle once more.♪
【无关的后续】
诗句在心不在词，真正的诗作能引起听众内心的共鸣……
不问古今，但凡侧耳聆听武勋之诗的听众，
内心一定潜藏着渴望强敌的冒险心。

Who Lives, Who Dies, Who Retells Your Story
“钢轮改命永不灭，判者轮回逆乾坤。”
In the breast of the giant, a crystal did stand,♪
Whose hunger for aether spelled death for the land.♪
And thus did our hero swear never to cease,♪
Till he/she torn out the heart of the great metal beast.♪
Yet for all of his/her labors, both bruising and brave,♪
The goblins stood poised to make hist'ry their slave.♪
“刀光剑影为友尽，白剑万丈断烟尘。”
The giant, however, had plans of its own,♪
And plucked from the goblins their dream of a home,♪
For it saw but one way to set hist'ry aright,♪
A champion of ages, a hero of light.♪
So the giant now sleeps, as it did once before,♪
In a moment repeated, forever and more.♪
