Forged in Crimson — Theme of Rubicante

Arrangement: Kenichi Maeyamada

Lyrics: Takashi Tokita

Fears rise, blades fall

His void calls

Fires blaze, waters rage

Gods above are deaf now to your cries (deaf now to your cries)

Earthen scourge, gale winds surge

Look within and seek your own salvation

Do you claim to have the strength to brave the flames of battle, conquest, death, annihilation

Here souls weep, sorrow steeped

Wherefore would you mourn the coming dawn (mourn the coming dawn)

Save your tears, face your fears

In despair you will find no safe harbour

Dare to stoke the fire in your soul, make keen your blade, stand fast or die bereft of honor

In the darkness be by fear consumed

Hearts turn cold where naught ever blooms

Elemental fury given to flesh

Raw strength on a level mere mortals cannot contest

The embodiment of earth─earth, wind, water, and fire

Fears rise, blades fall

His void calls

Flames consume, tides subsume

Cut down all who would dare hold you back, prove there’s naught you lack

Earth befouled, fierce winds howl

Face hell now to prove your will unyielding

You must walk this path alone, but know that you are not the first nor last to seek purgation

Flames consume, tides subsume

Cut down all who would dare hold you back, prove there’s naught you lack

Earth befouled, fierce winds howl

Face hell now to prove your will unyielding

You must walk this path alone, but know that you are not the first nor last to seek purgation

In the darkness be by fear consumed

Hearts turn cold where naught ever blooms

Elemental fury given to flesh

Raw strength on a level mere mortals cannot contest

Steel your soul or ever burn─burn with boundless ire, forged in crimson fire
