The full English lyrics are quoted below:

Moonlight breaks the night
A dream that could not end
Encompass me with open arms
I’ll hold you once again

A face that looks like mine
Your memories lost in time
Enchanted spells with rosemary entwined

Daring to belong
We must choose who to be
Tell me you’ll always search for me

We are as one
Our bond cannot be undone
Soaring, fearless within your eyes
We must try
One voice will remain
And we will live again
Now I know, because you told me so

We see visions unfold
From embers we rebuild
Together let’s find hope
Our fate cannot be sealed
These ties will never end
Our power must ignite
A passion to consume
The darkness and the light

I won’t turn my face away
We will cast all through this night
Can we enchant our destiny

We are as one
This magic keeps us so strong
Reaching out into the blue sky
Where ribbons fly
Our voice is the same
I’ll be by your side again
And believe
Wherever we may go, just know that
We’ll stand as one

Hear the voice
Hear it now, loud and clear
We’ll shake the ground (male) – We’ll shake the ground (female)
With the sound (male) – With the sound (female)
Break free, now we’ll never look back, No turning back

We can’t wait until this life has passed us by
I feel the Luna strength with me
Can you see – Show me how
What can be – See us now
With the sight – We can see
We unite – aaahh

With joy in our eyes
There will be no disguise
A promise that brings hope for the tale of all time
With this chance we will rise
We will claim back the skies
In a world, where we stand unified
We belong

We are as one
This story has only begun
Like flames leaping into the night
We burn bright – the spell cannot be broken
This soul is the same
We’ll be coming back again
Don’t let go, I need you to know
Real love never dies
