HOO BOY this was a long time coming! I wrote these lyrics... last year and sent them to Cutelilpineapple since I was preparing to move to Redlands with no time to record myself, after which she was very excited and recorded them... And I proceeded to do nothing with.

UNTIL NOW (thanks for your patience I'm so sorry lol)

About 90% of the lyrics are adapted from Edge of Dawn, both the original and the adapted lyrics I wrote for this flute cover's captions:    • The Edge of Dawn (Staff Roll) but it'...   There's also a homage to Juno Songs' take on Fódlan Winds if you squint:    • Fódlan Winds WITH LYRICS - Fire Emble...   Cutelilpineapple added Edelgard's counterpoint at the end, which is so freaking cool omg they're so good at that. I'm still so freaking honored they liked my lyrics enough to want to cover them. The fact that any of my passion project was seen means a ton. I'll be working on the other recording you sent to me soon, as well as a couple of my own! It's nice having creative energy again.

Check out the rest of Azure Moon: The Musical (so far) and sub to Cutelilpineapple (and maybe me) for future lyric stuff and one day we'll have a complete show lol:    • Azure Moon: The Musical  

Lyrics:
Dimitri: We have annihilated Enbarr's army. If we strike her down now, this war will finally be over. I imagine she intends to keep fighting until the bitter end...
We have no choice but to destroy each other... Such is the destiny we were born to. That is why… I will now rise up to answer her iron will with the bite of my lance.
Dedue: I will protect you at all costs. We will both live to see tomorrow...Your Majesty.
Felix: Hmph. If the king falls here, that would mean my father's and brother's deaths were in vain.
Ashe: For Lonato, Christophe, everyone... I will not lose!
Sylvain: Well, if I were to die now, I'd have a lot to explain to my brother.
Mercedes: All will be OK. I know we can win!
Annette: I won't falter, no matter who we're facing!
Ingrid: For all those who have lost their lives in this war... We cannot lose!
Byleth: Let's win this!
Dimitri: It is time. Onward, to our final battle!

Mercedes: Faint lights pass through colored glass
In this once sacred place
Annette: Silver blades, happiness fades
But courage on each face
Ashe: Fights abound, sadness surrounds
But I can feel I'm breaking free
Byleth: With this moment lost in time
I'm finding me

Dimitri: Now we advance!
Byleth: By now you should know
Faerghus Three: We're at your side
Add Dedue: No matter where you go!
Blue Lions: Wind at our backs
Testing our mettle
Reach for my hand
For one last battle

Edelgard: You shall be obliterated! I will take you out so fast you will not have a chance to lament…

Dimitri: To be changed beyond all recognition... That is what lies at the end of the ideals you served so diligently. I have no pity for one such as you. If that is the future you hoped for, then you deserve no compassion.

Edelgard: As you walk your bloody path
You're chasing shadows
Dimitri: Voices haunting me within
They tell me where to go
Byleth: But if you'd turn to me and ask
If this is how things ought to be
Edelgard: Would you open up your eyes?
That's a fantasy

Blue Lions: Cross my heart
Making vows we never could betray
Byleth and Edelgard: A sad girl's pleas
Live only for a breath and then they fade

Dimitri, Byleth, and Edelgard: My dearest wish is that you'll know
These tender thoughts that only seem to grow
They are like snow, melting away
Yet seeking your warmth if only for a day

Blue Lions: An Azure Moon
Cuts across our side as pure and clear as a ringing bell
And you will hear it soon

Byleth: As the rage consumes your thoughts
We'll stay strong on the battlefield
Dimitri: You'd find peace
If only you would hear our song!

Byleth: Open the door and walk with me
Dimitri: Can't we go back to how things used to be?
Edelgard: Memories that made those days sublime
In cherished halls and thoughts stopped in time

Blue Lions: Reach for my hand (Edelgard: No I refuse)
We'll soar away (Edelgard: To soar with you)
Into the Dawn (Edelgard: Into the Dawn)
Where forever we will stay (Edelgard: This right here is where I’ll stay)
To end this war for peaceful days (Edelgard: I’ve come so far)
We'll face the Edge of Dawn (Edelgard: I’ll face the Edge of Dawn)
And cut our own way (Edelgard: And cut my own way)

For this last chance to make our stand
We'll fight for our homeland
As one!

    OMG OMG OMG YESSSSSSSSS!!!!!!! adds to playlist It’s finally here 🥹 The moment you sent these beautiful lyrics, it was love at first read 😭💙 Thank you for letting me sing this, and I’m glad your creative energy is flowing again. I can’t wait to hear more from you!!!
  • @Mary_Studios
    I love how we get slight changes to Edge of Dawn in this. This is the first I've heard for this fight. The one with Edelgard fighting Rhea has used it of course but I'm really glad this had Edge of Dawn lyrics in it.
  • @hansgretl1787
    Now THIS is what I'd call the greatest crossover in history. Apex of the World is probably my favorite song of all time, and I love this cover. It was so beautiful! I did catch the Edge of Dawn lyrics, and I even caught the Juno Fodlan Winds reference. Knowing me, I'll be listening to this cover on loop for the next week. Thank you so much for this, both of you!
  • Genuinely awesome. I love how everybody involved in the battle gets a chance to chime in. Great stuff
  • @WildFireGaming7
    I am speechless at how WELL you have written these lyrics! Again the symbolism is SO GOOD! The themes, the metaphors, and how I could see this being official! Love the little ties in from Edge of Dawn as well! You are incredible! Amazing voice and rendition! 10/10 will ABSOLUTELY listen again!!!!
  • “An Azure Moon Cuts across your side as pure and clear as a ringing bell And you will hear it soon” 3:05 This is most epic way of saying “Destiny is on our side and we’re gonna use it to kick your ass” I’ve ever heard
  • @clammmin3098
    I love how you voiced Annette 🥺 she really sounds like her eng VA
  • @introplays9613
    I really want to see the other routes as musicals to this song too
  • @Redleader24680
    I love apex of the world till death! Now we have lyrics in a sense. Amazing! ❤
  • @kmadsmusic
    THIS IS SO AMAZING!!! I really loved all the different characters getting a moment in this song, and I really appreciated the moments where Edelgard, Dimitri, and Byleth sang together. The harmonies and countermelodies were so good. I really loved the use of the Edge of Dawn lyrics in conjunction with your original lyrics, too, and I think the lyrics are very fitting for the characters. The editing of this video was awesome, too. Overall a fantastic collab!
  • @TylersGamingHub
    Was never a fan of azure moon but these lyrics for well for the blue lions and azure moon.
  • @DSeditor22
    Dangggggg I haven’t heard all covers so far but so far this sounds the best! 😄
  • @Rob-ob
    Stuff like this always reminds me of how cool three houses is, I love the comment at the end about brain rot too lol
  • Yes, this is perfect! I was waited so long for Apex of the World and now we have it! Hopefully we get Verdant Wind: The musical someday in the future
  • @waddledeeart6019
    This is actually perfect holy shit?? I always wished that the other routes got their own versions of this song, since the lyrics are very clearly from Edelgard's POV and this NAILS IT. Absolutely flawless and stunning, lyrics, voice and all! Even though I heard the struggle to get the male voices, its still incredible. The female characters sound SPOT ON-
  • @RisingSunReviews
    This brings back memories of the game, bringing the story to life in a new way. I love the triumph of this song, but the more somber lyrics as well, wishing they could all go back to those innocent times in the monastery. Fantastic job.
