I absolutely love Sephirots theme :/

Leviathan isn't much of a song... and the music is the main lead to its beat.
What about Gilgamesh? It has no lyrics. He himself isn't a primal, but Enkidu is.
Then we have Ultros and Typhoon.

True I could add Odin and Garuda. Tho even if Enkidu is a primal, their theme isn't really an FFXIV OST. The phase 1 with Enkidu is the original OST from FFV and the phase 2 without Enkidu is a remastered of it. As for Ultros and Typhon, they aren't primals, they're voidsent and their theme is FFVI's OST.

I like that there's lyrics since it's one way to portray the Primal and/ or the beastribe that we might not get in game.

For example, Sophia's song is about a girl who was ordered by Sophia to kill her mother and then herself for the sake of Balance.

Oh true for Typhoon and Ultros.
Yet I belive Enkidu at the very least deserves an honorable mention.

You're right, I really liked that little sang story. I kinda like that solution

I'm pretty sure they record the voice separatly from the instruments so maybe they could do that.

I prefer with lyrics. The lyrics except from making the track less forgettable they also provide some lore which I appreciate.
So no I want more songs with lyrics as primal themes.
And since the primal fights have 2 tracks for the 2 major phases 1 can be without lyrics and the other with.

Ifrit's Theme was the original Primal Theme from 1.0 that was reused, back then there was only Ifrit and Garuda and they both used the same theme, this was before the composer had an idea to have the beastmen/primal sing the chorus of the song. I feel like Bismarck being a feral primal without sentience is why there was no lyrics for him. He doesn't communicate other than the @%Q$^L!&#*$%!#*&@!!!!! sound he makes when he seizes control over the clouds or whatever.

Metalized hymn of the faith for yojimbo!

I dislike Zurvan's theme personally. The song sounded very generic compared to the others of the Warring Triad.
