 +//In the dawn when time began to spin,  
 +The Dragons rose, firstborn within.  
 +From Bahamut, the Platinum Flame,  
 +The metallic kin of wisdom came. // 
  
-//In ancient days, when dawn was bright,   
-The Dragons soared, firstborn in flight.   
-From Bahamut, the Platinum King,   
-The metallic brood did rise and sing.   
  
-Gold and Silver, Bronze and Brass,   +//Gold and Silver, Bronze and Brass,   
-Copper gleamed as eons passed.   +Copper bright as ages passed.   
-Their hearts sought light, the stars above,   +Their quest was light, the skies afar,   
-And Valhalla’s halls, the prize they loved.  +Valhalla’s halls, a guiding star.//  
  
-But Tiamat, fierce, with fivefold breath,   
-Bore chromatic kin who worshipped death.   
-Red and Black, with Blue and Green,   
-White as frost, their hunger keen.   
  
-They sought not peace but end of days,   +//Yet Tiamat, with many heads,   
-To bask in Ragnarok's fiery blaze.   +Brought forth dragons where shadows tread.   
-Thus, two broods born of fire and sky,   +Red and Blue, Black, Green, and White,   
-One to soar, and one to die.  //+Not just for end, but balance in flight. // 
  
 +
 +//They sought not ruin, nor final fall,  
 +But Ragnarok’s call to shape the All.  
 +Together, both broods danced and spun,  
 +Valhalla’s rise, Ragnarok’s run. // 
 +
 +
 +//In endless cycles, night and day,  
 +They wove the world from dawn to grey.//
