Ultima's and Titan's song lyrics

I'm not sure if the singers are simply chanting tones or not during Ultima's theme, but having listened to the song plenty of times I'm inclined to believe that they're saying something. There's a problem, however: I can't tell what they're saying, let alone what language it's in (though since this is FF and a final boss theme, let's be honest, it's probably Latin :p). So does anyone have an inkling as to what they're saying? Or have they already been deciphered?

On the same subject, does anyone have any definitive lyrics for Titan's theme? I've brought this up in General Discussion before--as did someone else--but both of our topics died pretty quickly. So I figured asking here is my next best bet, as something like song lyrics could kinda-sorta-tangentially be related to lore, haha. I'll link the old thread below, as it has a few variations and can act as a sort of template.

Old Titan thread: http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/t...-Theme-Lyrics?

These are the most recent lyrics I've managed to come up with, having looked at others' interpretations and drawing my own conclusions, but there's are probably just as accurate (if not more so) than what I've got here:

Who goes there, who goes there, who goes there? Titan! x8

Titan!
Titaaaaan!
Let's hear it, everyone!
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH! IT'S TITAN

Get out of the way!x7 (he's shouting stuff in the background I can't make out)

(Something) (it'll take it's toll? take your toe? tip-to-toe? trap your soul?)
With a heart of rock, and a stare that's cold
Cold are the hands that grasp at your soul
Where the graves are dug in the goddamned cold.
Tempered in the rooms of the mountain's core
With the rage reflecting (something something)
(too many syllables before) in the blazing sun.
Round them up for ANNIHILATION!

Get out of the way!x7 (more shouting)

*guitar solo*

Into the dark of an endless fate
With the corpse of the land on a filthy spike.
Spite to (lord?) that's stood before you (illegible)
(something) just for fools.
Kneel to the tremors, your lord commands!
There's no salvation for the sons of man.
The skies will tremble and the earth will quake,
From the summoning walls no one escapes!

Get out of the way!x7 (more shouting)

Who goes there, who goes there, who goes there? Titan! x8

Titan!
Titaaaaan!
Let's hear it, everyone!
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH! IT'S TITAN

Get out of the way!x7 (more shouting)

aaaaaaAAAAA T-T-T-Titan!

(Something) (it'll take it's toll? take your toe? tip-to-toe? trap your soul?)
With a heart of rock, and a stare that's cold
C-C-Cold are the hands that grasp at your soul
Where the graves are dug in the goddamn cold.
Tempered in the rooms of the mountain's core
With the rage reflecting (something something)
(too many syllablues before) in the blazing sun.
Round them up for ANNIHILATION!

Get out of the way!x7 (more shouting)

Who goes there, who goes there, who goes there? Titan!x10

aaaaaaAAAAA T-T-T-Titan!
*end of loop*

There's also vocals in the Binding Coil of Bahamut boss theme. I can't make out anything whatsoever, I'm super curious about that as well.

(Also your titan lyrics are about as far as I ever got)

That was awesome.
Titan HM will never be the same again now.

My headcanon will always dictate that the starting background vocals in Titan's theme is, due to the timing going perfectly just as unprepared people start dying like crazy in the beginning of post-heart phase, a bunch of stereotyped BRs going "HUEHUEHUE, HUEHUEHUE, HUEHUEHUE, HUEHUEHUE".

It fits the situation so much.

Yes, I'd really like to know what the Ultima Arma words are (it'd be great if it were a continuation on the theme of the speech the Legatus makes to your group on the elevator ride down - delightfully anti-democratic reactionary catnip that was! Mee-ow!). Ditto the words that haunt the climax of the Praetorium theme.

Don't know about lyrics in Ultima or Coil, but they have released the lyrics to Titan, straight from Soken himself on the dev blog:

Since I've stayed so quiet, let's just say that there have been a lot of fan, uh, "interpretations" of the lyrics...
"I don't wanna die, I don't wanna die"
"Omg landslide, omg landslide"
"YOSSSHHIIIDDDAAAAA"

^This xD made my day.

Thanks for the link, Myranda. I'm sure a few people will come here looking for it! I saw it earlier, and was hopeful that Soken would eventually get around to releasing the lyrics for the other scores, as well. Not sure why he hasn't. Fingers crossed!

I was so excited when that was first posted, haha! All of us who were trying to figure out the lyrics got pretty close, it seems, but I'unno how we were supposed to come up with some of those lines. But now that that's out of the way, we just need the Ultima lyrics, if there are any.

Your move Soken :cool:

Whenever I see threads like these, the only thing I can think about is when are we getting the next soundtrack?

I rarely buy gaming soundtracks because they often just cherrypick a few tracks that they think everyone wants to hear and throw them on a disc, but Before Meteor was a shining example of how it should be done (every song in as high quality as it could be delivered) and I'm excited to see what comes next. Maybe we'll get to learn all these lyrics as part of the BluRay background display after there's enough material to justify a Patch 2.00 through Patch Whatever disc.

Honestly, I'm a little worried they won't release one of that quality again, which would be a shame considering Soken's contributions are so, so good.
