With Chloe's last words, describing "the endless struggle of two souls", which comes right before this song, it seems very likely that it's about a very specific conflict - the one between Matin and Nox. From the "sea that wrapped them", echoing Matin's words describing how Nox and her once both "swam in the same sea", inside their mother's womb ; to the "reason [they] were born, [...] to develop [their] soul" (that is, to become one again), it seems very fitting when you think about it that way. And it's even more likely when we hear Hannes speak part of these words at the end of her CD, with the background noise of flames (the supposed "fire" that soon "burns out"), meaning that she is probably bearing witness to Tetroah - which checks out with her being near the road through which the Milian tribe arrive to assist Novaria before the battle.

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 Gluttony Wrath Pride Sloth Corruption Envy Lust Greed 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

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 sounds 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
Gluttony Wrath Pride Sloth
Corruption Envy Lust Greed
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
