and the last line of the song? "And victory is in a simple soul", presumably referring to Ruby; though how her soul factors into this is unclear.

"Even brilliant lights will cease to burn" probably relates to the line in the intro "But even the most brilliant lights eventually flicker and die, and when they are gone, darkness will return." And yes this could refer to Signal and Beacon, but it could also refer to the lights of civilization, suggesting a potential apocalypse; with the lines "Beware that the light is fading / Beware as the dark returns" only adding to it.

For me though, the most chilling lines are: "You want a romantic life a fairytale that's full of charm", and "Legends scatter / Day and night will sever / Hope and peace are lost forever" These just scream "things are going to get really bad before they get better" to me. With perhaps: the heroes of the world getting scattered to the winds? the the sun going out, severing day from the cycle? and non-stop monster attacks?
