Lyrics :

The River of Life

Supreme harmony reigned in Gaia's world.
The earth protected the Cetras and nourished them.
When they died, their souls returned to the river,
Thus reigned the perpetual cycle.

Years ago, disaster struck
From afar, Jenova hurt Gaia, cursed her children
Gave them the black kiss,
From the earth came the weapon to purify !
The enemy hid and the monster was locked away !

A healthy and rich world destroyed by humankind
They drain the earth's blood for illusory comfort
Avalanche must stop them, put an end to this carnage
A healthy and rich world destroyed by humankind
They drain the earth's blood for illusory comfort
The energy they take is the river of life

Time passed and Cetras heirs forgot Gaia.
Their guide to the promised land. They follow the path
Of the earth and lived on the roads. They settled down
And built iron cities where no flowers grew

Avalanche saw the catastrophe
Coming and they wanted to stop it
But the Shinra was powerful and
The enemy was still there.
Jenova killed Aeris with Gaia in its aim

A healthy and rich world destroyed by humankind
They drain the earth's blood for illusory comfort
Avalanche must stop them, put an end to this carnage
A healthy and rich world destroyed by humankind
They drain the earth's blood for illusory comfort
The energy they take is the river of life

Aeris :
Nikutai ha taoreta demo tamashii ha nokotteiru
Kurayamikara tekiha yattekita
Hoshikara mikataha yattekuru
Kishi ga yattekite gaia wo sukuidasutame tasuketekureruyo

(Aeris :
My body has fallen but my soul remains
The enemy has come from the darkness
Our allies will come from the stars
Let the knights come, let them help us deliver Gaïa)

The final battle took place.
Sephiroth, back from the dead,
Seemed invincible
But the invoked meteor
left no choice.
Defeat or death,
Light or darkness,
those were the two paths !

Evil was vanquished, magic was released
The destroyer of the world finally defeated
The river of life
rose from the depths of the earth
Evil was vanquished, magic was released
The destroyer of the world finally defeated
The two energies combined,
It flew again, the river of life !
