Song Lyrics in FFXIV: Compilation, Discussion, and Interpretation

[MadRider]

hydaelyn , we're out of time
Counting swiftly, reignite.
Floating softly, bidding time
marching forward in moonlight
when the shadow clash
Guiding foremost(?), and then in ash
??? any days
through our echos. the angels weep

when it eeeeeends

[Nanami_Hanafubuki]

00:19
Hydaelyn is dieing, but I don't die
Cooling swiftly, reignite
Fate is watching, i'm buying time
Marching forward, in the moonlight

00:36
Here, the shadows clash
Guiding footfalls, engraved in ash
Pray, for a new day
Through our echoes, the angels sing

00:52
In the End (or heeeeey or praaaaay)
In the End (This sounds more like "In the End")

01:09 (It's really hard to understand anything from this part)
I remember better days
Trying not to lose the ground
Pray, for a new day
Through our echoes, the angels sing

01:42
holding your word (or "cold in your heart") (I hear what i want to hear, that is confusing)
holding your word (or "cold in your damn heart") (same here)

02:15
In the End (multiple times)

It's still very hard to make out, but Square Enix dropped the Trailer Sound on Twitter without the voiceover.

Here's what I'm thinking for the second set of lyrics.

Finally I'm* out of time
Burning brightly, blinding white
**** **** that I wear
**** silence, **** in the air

I'm sure of the second line and the second half of the first, but the first half of the first line and most of the latter two is really difficult to parse. Of course this is probably intentional given the early Shadowbringers trailers had muffled and distorted lyrics as well.

[GoldStarz]

**** silence, **** in the air

I think this one is

In shadow and silence, we lead (leave?) them there

Less sure about the 2nd half, though

[Nanami_Hanafubuki]

Yes, that sounds more like it. And i like the fact, that they dropped the Trailer without the voices! Now i can hear it clearer ^^

Now I'm unsure with the 01:42 Part xD

[Rymi64]

I hear:
For all that ????
For all so ???? (we'll shine)

Not my interpretation, but one I feel that has a lot going for it. Credit to u/M_intTea on Reddit.

Hold on reaper, hold on tight
Cold but swiftly we reignite
Slow 'tween suffering, biding time
Marching forward in the night

Our shadows clash
Guiding footfalls engraved in ash
Forgetting pain
Through our echoes, the angels sing
Waiting
Waiting

Burn with us, hold on tight
Burning brightly, all in white
Key to exist and clear our wear
Shadows sidelong beneath our prayer

( Female Voice)
On and on and on
All shall fall

(Male & Female Voice)
The end
Let it end
The end

The end
Let it end
The end

[Torquil]

I listened to it a few times with this and....it seems to match preeeeeety good, and the lines all make sense.

I don't live, but I don't die
Called in swiftly, we unite
Splintered selves we are biding time
Marching forward in moonlight

Ouuuuuuur, shadows clash
Guiding footfalls engraved in ash
Ouuuuuuur, remaining days (prob not oouuur, but fits better than anything else I got)
Through our echoes, the angels sing
