I think the "faltered sky" in the first line of the song may actually be "faulted sky" meaning that the sky is cracked or broken open. This would make sense in the context of both the intro (the Dragon entering the world through an opening in the sky) as well as the post-game Everfall ( upon reaching the bottom of the shaft, you fall through an opening in the sky above the Everfall).

If it actually is referring to the "faulted sky" above the Everfall, then that would make sense with the rest of the first verse- it talks about darkness and the loss of light which may refer to the post-Dragon game world in which the sun is blotted out and the world takes on a sickly hue.
