Ocean's Prayer

The Ocean's Prayer is a prayer recited several times throughout the course of Baten Kaitos: Eternal Wings and the Lost Ocean. Xelha claims that it is the prayer of her homeland, but it is evident that there are other characters who know it as well. It is shown to be a multi-purpose prayer; a general one of hope and asking for courage, as well as one that is spoken over the dead.

In English
''Cast light upon the darkened earth,

''save those lost in despair.

''O Mighty Ocean, guide us as we journey through

''the darkest pit of night.

''And my time, ever fleeting, forgive us;

''we, who have forsaken our song

''and buried our future.

Find us, O Mighty Ocean, and forgive us.

In Japanese
