So many wonders the mist hides away, We can’t come close and take them and see. We have tried twice; third time’s lucky, they say - Stupid to turn back again now and flee. Only learn truly, so it’s never forgot, And repeat, just like a spell: "Don’t lose your faith in the mist, do not, And do not lose yourself as well." There was a time when troubled were we; The mist hid many away from the foe. But today, mist, we do not need your loyalty - Quit locking the woods where we want to go! Only learn truly, so it’s never forgot, And repeat, just like a spell: "Don’t lose your faith in the mist, do not, And do not lose yourself as well."                 Does it work out that it’s not worth trying - People are nothing before the mist’s eyes? But from the warmth, the warmth of humankind, Even the mist must eventually rise! Only learn truly, so it’s never forgot, And repeat, just like a spell: "Don’t lose your faith in the mist, do not, And do not lose yourself as well."
