[Chorus]

Long ago, men and beasts

Ruled the earth and had their feasts

We'll return to days of yore

So promises King Asgore


[ASGORE]

So much blood, so much pain

Now I've lost my son again

One day soon, freedom shall ring

So proclaims the mountain king


This was once my home, now there's nothing here but tears and memories


[Chorus]

Long ago there was peace

They all lived happily

Cherishing every breath

In many times well spent


Suddenly things went wrong

They could not get along

Darker days loomed ahead

Their stomachs filled with dread


Common sense forgotten

It was friend against friend

Civil war ends sadly

Humans showed no MERCY

Monsters forced underground

So our tale begins now

Child of the world above

Fell below, was shown LOVE


[CHARA]

Where am I?

Did I die?

Looking up

I see the sky


[ASRIEL]

Hey there, guy!

Are you alright?

Come with me

I will not bite


[ASRIEL AND CHARA]

Let's be friends

Until the end

The king and queen

Will be happy


[CHARA]

I'll always be determined


[TORIEL AND ASGORE]

Come on, smile!

Second child!


[TORIEL, ASGORE, ASRIEL, AND CHARA]

We'll be here

For quite a while


[CHARA]

I feel ill...

Asriel...

Promise me

Just one thing...


The golden flowers...

In my town...

Let me see them

When I fall down


[ASRIEL]

I'm sorry

Please stay with me

The shield above

Won't let me leave


I'll always be determined

I know I failed you, but with both of our souls

I'll cross the barrier and to your town we'll go

Now at your home again, let you be blessed

Here in the golden flowers may you rest


[HUMANS]

That monster

Killed that child!

Our war is still

Unreconciled


Let them die!

Let them fry!

They don't know of

Conscience and love


[ASRIEL]

My ears ring

My body stings

That's okay

I will not stay


Oh, Mom, Dad

Howdy, I'm fine...

I wouldn't come back

Just to.. die


[ASGORE]

Now it seems that once again

Everything's been taken

By the humans up above

Who have killed my children


No more humans here will fall

For we will kill them all

Then their souls we all shall take

The barrier will break


[TORIEL]

Asgore, I will not be shy

Asgore, I demand why

You can't see your big mistake

Even through your own heartache


I'll find humans who come through

I'll keep them safe from you

And I will remember well

My sweet lost Asriel


[Chorus]

Many years

Many tears

We live on

Despite our fears


Do not cry

Freedom's come

With your death

We'll see the sun


Thanks to our savior, Asgore

We will be trapped no more

Humans pay for their mistakes

When the barrier breaks


All our tears and all our pain

Will not happen again

Now on high sits our king

And we can hear him sing

This was part of Chara and Asriel’s plan to free the monsters. The plan was for Chara to kill themself for Asriel to go to the surface, kill 6 humans, and free the monsters, but Asriel saw the humans and decided not to kill them. As it says in game “He had the power to destroy them all…”

Toriel did this to possibly every human who came into the ruins. She tried to keep them there, to keep them safe.
However, in her own words, “[she] cannot save even a single child.”
