Song Lyrics in FFXIV: Compilation, Discussion, and Interpretation

I think it might actually be "we pray twinfold" at the end.

Gotta say, I love all the songs in the game but that one at the end of the Alliance Raid is really aiming to be my new favorite. Everything from its meaning, the beautiful voice and beat. Just so good. Hope we get an offical lyric list sometime, but thanks everyone for trying to work it out here!

My take on the lyrics, plus my random exposition :p

Quote:

---

O’ twin Gods blessed this land
To us treasure bestowed
City of desert sands
Water and gold below

Lifeblood and rubies red
Precious Coins cast a glow
Four hands of fortune's men
Their form we may not known

And when we reach our ends
To scales we gladly go
Our Fates are yours to bend
To hells and heavens flow

Under arid sky
With silk veils we weave a rainbow
Voices lifted high
Dreams upon our backs we carry

When day beckons night
As does of restless time go slow
Drifting hand in hand
Life, Death will follow

Stone Path
Nascent Flame
Brighter burn
Dances with souls of fire

Remember capture every gold spark
Rise to new heights

May we, want all that coin can buy
Never, cease much without, trying
May we, find fortune after life
For this pray
We pray, We pray
We pray, Twin Fold

O’ twin Gods blessed this land
To us treasure bestowed
City of desert sands
Water and gold below

Lifeblood and rubies red
Precious Coins cast a glow
Four hands of fortune's men
Their form we may not known

And when we reach our ends
To scales we gladly go
Our Fates are yours to bend
To hells and heavens flow

Under air sky
With silk veils we weave a rainbow
Voices lifted high
Dreams upon our backs we carry

When day beckons night
As does of restless time go slow
Trusting hand in hand
Life, Death will follow

Stoke now
Kindled Flame
Hotter burn
Sing ‘til breath expires

May those who wander left in the dark
Find firelight

May we, all as true equals die
Never, fear unjust favor's bite
May we, be judge by what we try for
For this we pray
We pray, We pray
We pray, Twin Fold

---

I love how this song sings about Ul'dah as well as Thanaland and the first half a prayer to Nald for wealth and riches to rise to new highs, then the latter sings a prayer to Thal for equal judgement in the after life but also wanderers left dead to find the firelight of the after life.

Aha! I think you're right that it's "equals" and not "eagles" haha. That line was confusing me so much.

Okay, after listening to this song on repeat far, far too many times, I'm pretty confident in most of this? Though there's still one part I cannot make out at all.

O twin gods, bless this land
To us treasure bestow
City of desert sands
Water and gold below
Lifesblood and rubies red
Precious coins cast a glow
Your hands our fortunes mend
That want we may not know.

And when we reach our ends
To scales we gladly go
Our fates are yours to bend
To Hells and Heavens flow.

Under arid skies
With silk veils we weave rainbows
Voices lifted high
Dreams on our backs we carry
When day beckons night
Man does rest this time and slowly
Drifting hand-in-hand
Life, Death will follow

Stoke high, nascent flame
Brighter burn
Dance with souls of fire
May embers catch and ashes blow
Sparks rise to new heights

May we want all that coin can buy
Never see what <unintelligible> try
May we find fortune after life
For this we pray (x3)
We pray twinfold

O twin gods, bless this land
To us treasure bestow
City of desert sands
Water and gold below
Lifesblood and rubies red
Precious coins cast a glow
Your hands our fortunes mend
That want we may not know.

And when we reach our ends
To scales we gladly go
Our fates are yours to bend
To Hells and Heavens flow.

Under arid skies
With silk veils we weave rainbows
Voices lifted high
Dreams on our backs we carry
When day beckons night
Man does rest this time and slowly
Drifting hand-in-hand
Life, Death will follow

Stoke bright kindled flame
Higher burn,
Sing until breath expires
May those who wander lost in the dark*
find firelight

May we all as true equals die
Never fear unjust favor’s bite
May we be judged by what is right
For this we pray (x3)
We pray Twinfold

*I REALLY like this if it's right, because it sounds like a callback to Tomorrow and Tomorrow

I separated the instrumental from the vox and got this?

Oh twin gods bless this land
To us treasure bestow
City of desert sands
Water and gold below

Lifesblood and rubies red
Precious coins cast in glow
Four hands our fortunes mend
That want we may not know

And when we reach our ends
To scales we gladly go
Our fates are yours to bend
To hells and heavens flow

Under arid sky
With silk veils we weave a rainbow
Voices lifted high
Dreams upon our backs we carry

When day beckons night
As dusk restless time may slow
Trusting, hand-in-hand
Life, Death will follow

Stoke the
Nascent flame
Brighter burn
Dance with souls afire
May ember catch a red gold spark
Rise to new heights

May we want all that coin can buy
Never see one's river run dry
May we find fortune after life

For this
We pray, we pray, we pray, we pray
Twinfold!

Oh twin gods bless this land

May we all as true equals die
Never fear unjust favour's spite
May we be judged by what is right

For this
We pray, we pray, we pray, we pray
Twinfold!

Sidenote, has anyone figured out One Small Step's lyrics?

That one’s probably using the nonsense Latinesque chorus thats used elsewhere, so they’re like not lyrics unfortunately. Same with Endcaller.

Well, there probably is words to an extent, but they're probably just random strings of generic words that really don't mean much (I mentioned in a previous post I'm certain I hear "Twisting", "turning" and "transcending" in One Small Step, but that's all I can come up with).

As for Endcaller, the first part I'm now certain I hear at least one complete line that does sort of make context: "Carrying our hope for evermore!" - which, given this is Zodiark, makes perfect sense.

But, like the others, it's probably purely coincidental.

Hey, man. If it all ends up summoning something into my living room, it'll be put to work. We all win.

In the Balance's official lyrics have been released on the Developer's Blog:

So, we got the first few stanzas right, just the last few that we didn't quite catch. :D (Also a big thank you to Okieeomi on the Community Team for providing the lyrics! :D).

Anyone know the lyrics to "Home Beyond the Horizon"

Spoilers:

The song plays on the radio when in Garlemald at a certain point

I'm.. not sure. Your guess is as good as mine, although it does seem it starts as "No one can save us....", which, sounds rather depressing (as if the song wasn't already depressing enough as it is). As I recall during the

EW story it's mentioned the song is a lamentation about the Garleans losing their ancestral homeland of Corvos and desiring to return there one day,

so presumedly the lyrics would reflect that, but I have no idea specifically what that could be.

Also it appears to be a remix of Nobuo Uematsu's bombastic Garlean theme 'Imperial Will' from 1.0, so take from that what you will. ;)

Kind of want it to be some ancestral Ilsabardan language if it’s not meant to have lyrics. Would be a nice way to make nonsense vocals have a bit more oomph :P

Well, wouldn't like to guess at the lyrics but the music from the second segment of the 6.2 trailer is just fantastic!

l honestly can't wait to hear full version, particularly during whatever boss fight it's (very probably) going to feature in!

The only line I can make out in that Trailer sound mix is either 'we're all strangers' or 'we're estranged', and both seems really intriguing in terms of setting. But yeah, really digging the song and needing it like yesterday.

Summoning primals into one's living room tends to be.... ill advised.

Well, with any luck we'll get to hear the full version in due course!

Bowed
Shadowed
Bestered? and beasts
A lost lamb
First to the feast

Bow
To me
Down on your knees
For, hide and seek
This time we will feed
Your heart is racing
Running ? ?
Your fractured ? is whispering

Far away...
Here we riot

[Forsake?] [Slake?] Stay the night
With each bite does your sanity die
Step in the light, awaiting the dark
Here's the penance? of what leads your eyes
Scream all your like
Your gods can't hear you
(Suicide? you'll choke on your kind?)

Enraged? Ensnared?
How does it feel?
Your pound? is paid
Those scars will not heal
Lost and suffering
Drowning in your tears
Foresaw? will someone tell me
?
Feed the riot?

Stay the night
With each bite does your sanity die
Step through the light, awaiting the dark
Dressed in red,
Scythe at hand
By candle ?
Still bound to the flame ? ?
The ?
?
?
Scream all you like
Because we are all mad here

Wandering, wandering
? on the winds

Deeper, deeper down tonight

Stay the night
To the shadow that beckons behind
I am a stranger? we are estranged?
?
There's nowhere to hide
So scream all you like,
No one can hear it
Follow me
Come follow me
To hand ?
Still bound to the flame ?
?
? ?
So scream if you like, cuz we are all mad here.
So scream all you like, we are all mad here.

Pulled most of these lyrics from FlappySeal on youtube, and made adjustments and changes where I felt appropriate.

Scream

Thou shall fester and feast
A lost lamb fed to the beast
So claim if your able, a spot at this table
Bow and weep, down on your knees
For hide and seek, it’s time that we feed
Your heart is racing, blood is running cold
Your fractured fear is whispering:
"Run away, far away!"

Here be lions

Say goodnight
With each bite does your sanity die
Step from the light, now play in the dark
Inside, say a prayer as the light leaves your eyes
Or scream all you like, your gods can’t hear you

(Scream)
(Now scream)
(Scream)
So suicide or choke on your pride
(Scream)
(Now scream)
(Now scream)
Yeah, we're gonna watch you bleed

Incensed, inflamed, how does it feel
Your pound is paid, those scars will not heal
You're lost and suffering, drowning in your tears
Will someone somewhere tell me:
"Where we'll go from here?"

Be the lion

Say goodnight
With each bite does your sanity die
Step from the light, now play in the dark
Inside, say a prayer as the light leaves your eyes
Or scream all you like, the gods can’t hear you

Trust in rage, inside my cage
My Pandemonium, still ??? the flames out of hate
There will be no love
When the comfortable, cruel ???
So scream all you like, 'cause we're all mad here

(Suffering, tempering)
(Whimpering, wandering)
(Simpering, hungering)
Further falling into the night
Deeper, deeper down tonight

Say goodnight
To the shadow and echo behind
I'm just a stranger, we are estranged
Inside, we can run but there's nowhere to hide
So scream all you like, no one can hear us

Follow me
Come, follow me
To Pandemonium, step into the flame full of hate
There's no release, from this empty raging from the light
So scream if you'd like, 'cause we're all mad here

Scream all you like, 'cause we're all mad here

For the "Trust in rage, inside my cage
My Pandemonium, still ??? the flames out of hate
There will be no love
When the comfortable, cruel ???
So scream all you like, 'cause we're all mad here" Part

I was hearing after an unhealthy amount of listens
"Trust in rage, inside my cage
My Pandemonium, still bound to the flames out of hate
There will be new light
In the coffin of who I used to be
So scream all you like, 'cause we're all mad here"

it's probably super wrong but it's an idea

I'm low key addicted to this song and I have been scouring the web trying to find lyrics for it. In reading through all the comments, watching FlappySeal's video, and doing some listening of my own, this is what I have come up with:

Thou shall fester and feast
A lost lamb fed to the beast
Come claim if your able, a spot at this table
Bow and weep, down on your knees
For hide and seek, it’s time that we feed
Your heart is racing, blood is running cold
Your fractured fear is whispering:
"(Run away, far away) Far away!"

Here be lions

Say goodnight
With each fight does your sanity die
Step from the light, now play in the dark
Inside, say a prayer as the light leaves your eyes
Or scream all you like, your gods can’t hear you

(Scream)
(Now scream)
(Scream)
So suicide or choke on your pride
(Scream)
(Now scream)
(Now scream)
Yeah, we're gonna watch you bleed

Incensed, inflamed, how does it feel
Your pound is paid, those scars will not heal
You're lost and suffering, drowning in your tears
Will someone, somewhere tell me:
"(Where do I, where do I) go from here?"

Be the lion

Say goodnight
With each fight does your sanity die
Step from the light, now play in the dark
Inside, say a prayer as the light leaves your eyes
Or scream all you like, your gods can’t hear you

Trust in rage, inside my cage
My Pandemonium, still bound to the flame out of hate
They'll be no light
In the coffin of who I used to be
Oh scream all you like, 'cause we're all mad here

(Suffering, tempering)
(Whimpering, wandering)
(Simpering, hungering)
Further falling into the night
Deeper, deeper down tonight

Say goodnight
To the shadow I've been far behind
I'm just a stranger, we are estranged
Inside, we can run but there's nowhere to hide
So scream all you like, no one can hear us

Follow me
Come, follow me
To Pandemonium, still bound to the flame full of hate
There's no release, from this empty raging from the light
So scream if you'd like, 'cause we're all mad here

Scream all you like, 'cause we're all mad here

Might be wrong but I gave it my best go. Hope you guys like it :)

Any clue who the vocalist is? She sounds familiar. Also anyone working on tabs for this?

I assumed it was Amanda Achen as she's Soken's usual vocalist... but I'm not 100% sure on that.

It is AKINO, most known for singing the very popular Genesis of Aquarion OP.

My best guess at the lyrics, adapted from a bunch of sources, including some YT comments and some discord messages:

Quote:

Fell child, bastard and beast
A lost lamb, first to the feast
Go claim if you're able, a spot at this table

Mild and meek, down on your knees
For hide and seek, it's time that we feed
Your heart is racing, blood is running cold
Your fractured will is whispering (fly a- fly a-)

"Fly away,
Here be lions"

Say goodnight!
With each bite does your sanity die!
Sucking the life out, letting the dark...

Inside!
Say a prayer as the light leaves your eyes!
Or scream all you like, your Gods can't hear you...

Scream
Now scream
Scream

So suicide, don't choke on your pride~

Scream
Now Scream
Now scream
Yeah, we're gonna watch you bleed

Incensed, inflamed, how does it feel?
Your pound is paid, those scars will not heal
You're lost in suffering, drowning in your tears
Won't someone, somewhere, tell me, where I (where I)...

Go from here?
Be the lion

Say goodnight!
With each bite does your sanity die!
Sucking the life out, letting the dark...

Inside!
Say a prayer as the light leaves your eyes!
Or scream all you like, the Gods can't hear you

Dressed in rage, inside my cage
My Pandæmonium, still bound to the flame that I bear
Buried alive, in the coffin of who I used to be!

Oh scream all you like, 'cause we're all mad here

Simpering, Tempering
Whimpering, Wandering

Simmering, Hungering
Forever falling into the night
Deeper, deeper down tonight

Say goodnight,
To the shadow I've left far behind!
I'm just a stranger, we are all strange,

Inside!
You can run but there's nowhere to hide
So scream all you like, no one can hear us

Follow me, come follow me
To Pandæmonium, still bound to the flame that I bear
There's no release, from this empty, waking wonderland

So scream if you'd like 'cause we're all mad here
Scream all you'd like 'cause we're all mad here

Now that folks have run and cleared P8S, we have another song with lyrics to look at. Italicized sections are what I'm unsure of. The middle verse is repeated three times during the song, and I'm pretty sure there's no variation to the lyrics in each repetition. The "Silence/Violence" lines are also repeated throughout the lyrics, with the only variation towards the end of the song. The initial line might be something like "Silence will lead to violence" but, what with the modulation and reverb, it's hard to tell.

EDIT: I think the first line is "Silence born into violence." Or, at least, some variation outside of "...leads to..."

When the stone glows white, do we ??? ??? the night
Shadows shifting, and we die
To the land behind, we pay no mind
Clutch almighty, hold on tight
To begin new thinking, wandering wide
Memory slowly, blinding white
Power unto this stone we shall pray

Silence without violence
In silence without violence

I'm going to throw in another assumption here that the vocalist for P8S's theme White Stone Black is none other than loremaster Fernehalwes again (Michael-Christopher Koji Fox for those unaware), as that definetely sounds like him, albiet distorted and autotuned (I mean, Ferne already did the vocals for Hic Svnt Leones after all, on top of many other tracks, so it makes perfect sense. :D)

I could still be wrong though.

Here's my interpretation of the lyrics. This was mostly put together with the help from users on Reddit, along with listening to the track with isolated vocals:

Official Scream lyrics are up. How close were you? :)

I love Scream as a song so much. I love Athena as a character so much.

I admit to some slight amusement that a lot of the guessed lyrics are incorrect largely because we didn't expect the real lyrics to go that dark.

May I cast raise on this long buried thread? We got some good stuff to chew on for 6.3, curious if anyone has discerned anything from the new songs we got!

Judging by the videos popping on Youtube, players are definitely trying to decipher the lyrics for "Dedicated to Moonlight" - that song is an absolute masterpiece!

After nearly nine years of this thread being around, a raise is always appreciated! And, since I've got some free time today, here's what I've got on the new theme, Dedicated to Moonlight:

Dedicated to Moonlight

??? rise into the night
And follow the moon
And fear not what you find

Our heart's desire
Join, now, our choir
For love conspire,
??? higher

??? tonight
I am guided by moonlight
??? your shadow

Like my mother before me
I follow this path
Knowing love will find me

She will hear my song tonight
Dedicated to moonlight
??? enough for secrets

Like a panther before me
I know each note, every beat,
Melody, mine to key

Come, sing now unto the sky
Resolved, come to step into the light

Roam, wide open midnight sky
Please carry my
Prayers along
Far away
Which awaits
Lover's Moon

??? wandering the night
In your name, we bear our hearts
With your grace will our passion defy
We will keep your song alive
Shrouded safe in soft moonlight

May the goddess of heavens above
In your name, we share our hearts
With your grace will our prayer become
???
??? tale sing of
???

????
Passion defy

Silver and white
Full love's moonlight

Whispers we share
In every prayer

The full moon...

Unfortunately, I haven't had much luck getting anything out of this one myself.

...into the night
Come follow the moon and fear not what you find
Our heart's desire, join now our choir
Free to conspire?? ... slip higher

Secrets ...
I am guided by moonlight
For the first time so alone
fearing our own shadow

Like the Lover before me
I follow this path knowing love will find me
She can hear my song tonight, dedicated to moonlight
See the land ??? cold enough for secrets

Let the men go before me, I know each and every beat
Melody, mine to keep

[ethereal chorus
"sing unto the sky"
"step into the light"
"ride unto the midnight sky please carry my ??? far away where she waits lover's moon"]


...darkness, wandering the night
... near our heart... a place ...
we will keep your song alive, child saved in soft moonlight

...??? (a promise??)
Me and him we share a heart, we ??? repay ???
Solemn, sheltered, hurried night??
Even then the tales say ??? "good night"

[???] + fiddle
(something passion?)
(Sacred moonlight?)
(Silken moonlight?)

(This night we share...?)
(Full moon)

It took nearly two months for official lyrics on In the Balance so it's going to be a long wait for me this time!

"Forged in Crimson" doesn't seem to have any actual lyrics being just chanting so I know it's not exactly in the scope of the thread but like... it's totally based on Hydain's cover of the song from back in the day, right?

Dedicated to Moonlight

(Our love's fair reprise)
(Into the night fly)
(Follow the moonlight)
(Fear not what you find)

(Our hearts' desire)
(Join now our choir)
(For love conspire)
(Go chase it higher)

See the silent woods tonight
I am guided by moonlight
For the first time so alone
Fearing own shadow

Like the Lover before me
I follow this path
Knowing love will find me

She will hear my song tonight
Dedicated to moonlight
See that I'm a woman grown enough for secrets
Her _______ before me I know each note every beat
Melody mine to keep

(Come sing up unto the sky)
(The stars above who still beat through the night)
Oh light of the midnight sky
Please carry my
Prayers along
Far away
Where she waits
Lover's moon

Fearless goddess wandering the night
In your midst we bear our hearts
With your grace will our passion define
(Songbirds all night)
(Passion take flight)
We will keep your song alive
Shrouded safe in soft moonlight
(Sliver and white)
(Flawless moonlight)

Maiden goddess of heavens above
In hymn we share our hearts
With your grace will our prayer become
(This world we share)
(With you prepare)
Solace shelter hope and love
We remember tales sing of
Our love

(Songbirds all night)
(Passion take flight)
(Sliver and white)
(Flawless moonlight)
(This world we share)
(With you prepare)

(Love for you)

Yes.

I will now proceed to believe that Dedicated to Moonlight and it's '' we will keep your song alive, shrouded safe in soft moonlight '' is a callback to Tomorrow and Tomorrow's '' from those who've fallen to those who rise, a prayer to keep us ever by your side, an undying promise that we just might, carry on in a song '' lyrics considering what we now know of the the Twelve. Shrouded safe in soft moonlight certainly takes a double meaning as well considering its importance and role in Endwalker.

While not quite lyrical, I would love an annotated lineup of the leitmotifs in the new alliance raid. There's a bunch, basically every part of every song gives me that feeling of 'I know this from somewhere' but never strongly enough to be sure.

The only one I've got for sure is that the non-final boss theme has a grab from Order Yet Undeciphered that's been reused in a few Allagan-based areas since.

Pleased to read I'm not the only one who felt that way! There is a nagging sense of familiarity to some of it and I can't quite put my finger on it yet!
