Surge ex doloribus, cum spe in corde!
Respira ut proelium vincatur!

Surge ex ira, da pacem mundo novo!
Respira ut tenaetis finem felicem!

Renova!
Reveni!
Revona!
Reveni!

(Rise out of sorrow, with hope in your heart!
Resurrect them with the battle to be won!

Rise out of wrath, bring peace to a new world!
Resurrect them that you may grasp a happy ending!

Renew!
Return!

And to the listeners, I sincerely hope you enjoy it!
