Final Fantasy loveless

Throughout Final Fantasy: Crisis Core Genesis recites and makes references to a poem, that poem is called Loveless. Loveless is in no way related to Loveless the Manga. Below is the poem in both Poem Format and Interpreted Format.
*** Acts IV and V in interpreted are mentioned as "yet to be discovered" in the game. Act V is also yet to be discovered, so Genesis makes up an ending for Loveless ***

*When the war of the beasts brings about the world’s end

*The infinite mystery
*The gift of the goddess is what the three men seek

*And the last is taken prisoner
*But the three are still bound by a solemn oath
*To seek the answer together, once again
Act II
Act II (Poem Format)
*There is no hate, only joy
*For you are beloved by the goddess
*Hero of the dawn, Healer of worlds
*Dreams of the morrow hath the shattered soul
*Pride is lost
*Wings stripped away, the end is nigh
Act II (Interpreted Format)
*Though the prisoner escapes, he is gravely wounded
*His life is saved, however
*By a woman of the opposing nation
*He begins a life of seclusion with her
*Which seems to hold the promise of eternal bliss
*But as happiness grows, so does guilt
*Of not fulfilling the oath to his friends
Act III
Act III (Poem Format)
*My friend, do you fly away now?
*To a world that abhors you and I?
*All that awaits you is a somber morrow
*No matter where the winds may blow
*My friend, your desire
*Is the bringer of life, the gift of the goddess
*Even if the morrow is barren of promises
*Nothing shall forestall my return
Act III (Interpreted Format)
*As the war sends the world hurtling towards destruction
*The prisoner departs with his newfound love
*And embarks on a new journey
*He is guided by hope that the gift will bring bliss
*And the oath that he swore to his friends
*Though no oath is shared between the lovers
*In their hearts they know they will meet again
Act IV
Act IV (Poem Format)
*My friend, the fates are cruel
*There are no dreams, no honor remains
*The arrow has left the bow of the goddess
*My soul, corrupted by vengeance
*Hath endured torment, to find the end of the journey
*In my own salvation
*And your eternal slumber
*Legend shall speak
*Of sacrifice at world’s end
*The wind sails over the water’s surface
*Quietly, but surely
Act V
Act V (Poem Format)
*Even if the morrow is barren of promises
*Nothing shall forestall my return
*To become the dew that quenches the land
*To spare the sands, the seas, the skies
*I offer thee this silent sacrifice
