A prophecy of what draws near.
Two souls will meet, the fates collide,
In endless war, no peace to find."

A time of hardship, far and wide.
Empires must fall, war will rage,
Peace will come, but darkness sets the stage."

[Chorus]
"The stars, they call, they speak of fate,
Guiding through the war and hate.

The prophecy we can’t outrun,
Before the dawn, the war’s begun."
Connection:
The chorus becomes Zaraki’s lament and battle cry. He acknowledges the power of the stars’ whispers, their inescapable pull, but his voice rises with defiance.

Of peace and pain, of war and fear.
No soul can hide from what’s been cast,
For in their hands, the die is passed."

But peace is fleeting, the war’s not done.
The stars still speak, they never cease,
Their message clear, no lasting peace."

Guiding through the war and hate.
