<pre>Swans sing before they die
<pre>Swans sing before they die
Their songs resound throughout the sky
Their songs resound throughout the sky
And I drop a rose petal
And I drop a rose petal down the sea of blood and tears
down the sea of blood and tears
I keep praying
I keep praying

Now the fire has burnt out
Now the fire has burnt out
And what is left is built of ice
And what is left is built of ice
This sounds like heaven
This sounds like heaven
I vaguely hear a moan of pain
I vaguely hear a moan of pain
It's a solemn note</pre>
It's a solemn note</pre>

=== Long Version ===
{{hide text|<pre>Close your eyes,keep silent
Think about the reason you are born
Look inward to learn the truth
You're born to develop your soul
 
Starry sky healed their minds
The blue sea wrapped them with a generous mind
Yet they repeat the same mistake many times
Losing their reasons,like a beast
 
The truth is only one
"As you sow,so shall you reap"
 
Swans sing before they die
Their songs resound throughout the sky
And I drop a rose petal down the sea of blood and tears
I keep praying
 
Why do you feel nothing ?
Why do you injured one another ?
Why? Aggressive culture of despotism
Why? You never win the cursed war
 
Do not you hear god's voice ?
Without defiling my beautiful world
I feel myself change into something very frightening
 
Glory Decline Delusion Arrogance
Silence Anger Silence Madness


Another version of this song, [[Apocalypse_-memento_mori-|Apocalypse -memento mori-]], appears on [[PnM_AC_15|Pop'n Music  AC 15 Adventure]].

Now the fire has burnt out
And what is left is built of ice
This sounds like heaven
I vaguely hear a moan of pain
It's a solemn note</pre>}}
