빛이 꺼진 자리에서.

(Begin quietly.

Where the lights have gone out.)

우린 빛을 기다리지 않아.

(We don’t wait for the light.)

우리가 빛이니까.

(Because we are the light.)

Nova (clearer, still controlled):

Velvet beneath our steps.

Silence beneath their doubt.

숨죽인 세상 위에

우린 이름을 새겨.

(Upon a silent world,

We carve our name.)

Jaeha (spoken):

심판은 끝났어.

Now it is a declaration.)

무릎은 꿇지 않아.

고개를 들어.

Raise your head.)

차가운 왕관 위에

우리의 숨결을 얹어.

We place our breath.)

우리가 선다.

We stand.)

In velvet…

Aria:

우린 일어나고.

In silence…

우린 지배해.
