Lyrics
''Listen now... Hear the tale...''

''The truth from legend... Will unveil...''

''Come along... Follow the trail...''

''And you'll hear... The Undertale...''

Chara: Greetings. I am Chara. And I have a story to share with you. A story of humans... And monsters.

''Long ago... In days gone by...''

''Monsters and man... Shared earth and sky...''

''United in... Hopes and dreams...''

''Their songs rang... In harmony...''

''Yet through war... Peace was drowned...''

''Monsters were sealed... Underground...''

''Two worlds torn... Kept apart...''

''Blood and dust... And shattered hearts...''

Chara: The monsters were sealed beneath Mt. Ebott, with only a powerful human SOUL able to pass through the barrier. And on the surface, the legends went that those who climb the mountain never return.

''Years went by... Since the war...''

History turned to legend and lore...

''Hopes and dreams... Faded and gone...''

Could we return to where we belong?

''Underground... We're confined...''

Down here we hope for a sign...

''An angel... Soon will fall...''

Perhaps they will free us all...

''Distant starlight... trapped in the night...''

Far below, I heard them calling...

''Angels banished from the sky... No one had heard their cries...''

''Losing all their hopes and dreams... Thanks to humanity...''

''Fallen so far... Like a lost star...''

Hold on to Determination...

''I've heard the call... Will we all fall?''

Perhaps we'll find liberation...

Far above, up Mt. Ebott, a child now climbs...

Will they perish in darkness or stay determined and survive?

Tonight, its'the Undertale that we will tell...

The tale of those who live there and the lost children who fell...

''With a child fallen down, deep into the Underground... / Fallen down...''

''Come with us along the trail, as we tell the Undertale... / Underground...''

With a child fallen down, deep into the Underground...

Come with us along the trail, as we tell the Undertale...
