Anyone know the lyrics for "Footsteps in the Snow"?.


I hate that Square Enix doesn't publish the lyrics for these cool themes/songs, they're really exciting!.

Except they do. On the Developers blog and with official OST releases. What??

I think because that song is mostly instrumental, there's not too much demand for a lyrics listing.

Knowing Soken, it probably has none - the apparent choral chanting in a lot of tracks are just synthetic gibberish, made through a 'vox' sampler that sounds like lyrics, but really isn't. Ultima was the most notorious example (before actual lyrics were written for the orchestrated arrangement), but quite a few others are done in the same way. Footsteps in the Snow is probably yet another example of this.
