Expergiscimini
O Progredimini, Bellatores Albi!
Delete legatum
Deorum Veterum
Ut progrediamini ad mundum novum
Delete fatum creatum
Dis Veteribus
Nonne auditis clamores vitarum evanescentium?
Eorum Phoenix numquam resurget rursum.
Expergiscimini
Bellatores Rubri
Fine fortasse nihil est.
Fine fortasse nihil est vobis lucrari.
Currite, Bellatores Rubri!
Donec animi dati Matre exstinguant.
Pugnate, Bellatores Rubri!
Donec mundus fictus Matre finiatur rursum.
Currite per hunc mundum sine Memoria ulla mortuorum,
Usque ad diem quo Mors vobis basium de quod fato vestro liberet vos.
The lyrics of "我ら来たれり" by 石元丈晴, which translates to "We Have Arrived," call upon the warriors to wake up and progress towards a new world. The opening line, "Principium finis venit," which translates to "The beginning of the end has come," sets the tone for the rest of the song, which focuses on the idea of the end of the world as we know it and the birth of a new world. The call to action is clear, as the warriors are urged to wake up and progress towards this new world.
The song makes several references to ancient gods and fate, suggesting that the warriors are being called upon to do battle with these powerful forces. The lyrics urge the warriors to delete the legacy of the old gods and create a new heaven and earth. The reference to the Phoenix, a symbol of rebirth, speaks to the idea that the old must burn away for the new to emerge.
The song also speaks to the finality of life, reminding the warriors that everything eventually comes to an end. The line "Fine fortasse nihil est," which translates to "Perhaps there is nothing at the end," suggests that there may be no reward for the warriors at the end of their journey. However, they are encouraged to keep fighting anyway, until the day that death releases them from their fate.
Overall, "我ら来たれり" is a powerful call to arms for warriors to wake up and progress towards a new world, even in the face of daunting challenges and uncertain outcomes. It speaks to the idea that the old must burn away for the new to emerge, and that everything eventually comes to an end.
