Was about to create a thread for this, found this thread, was not disappointed. This has been on my mind since we learned about Tiamat, it really makes a lot of sense if the male voice in the beginning is Bahamut and the female voice is Tiamat. Bahamut is dead, he's forced to suffer, redemption's beyond him since he's essentially dead.

The dragons' souls have been torn, and their bodies are kept alive as means of prayer to Bahamut to become an energy generator.
They're equally sinful as all beings are, for of course killing one another and another species as well, and their future is pretty much taken given the theme of the BCOB are dragons being imprisoned within Dalamud for thousands of years.

They can't really feel or hear anything that's going on in the world.. they hear words without sound that makes them go mad in their head.

And the next 2 lines:

Judgement binds all we hold to a memory of scorn
Tell us why, given Life, we are meant to die, helpless in our cries?

Sounds very dragons in the coils for me.

Thy Life is a riddle, to bear rapture and sorrow - pretty much Bahamut and his thralls..
To listen, to suffer, to entrust unto tomorrow - where all they can do is to trust into the people of tomorrow..
