Song Lyrics in FFXIV: Compilation, Discussion, and Interpretation

[EaraGrace]

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

[Carin-Eri]

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!

[RicaRuin]

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.

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

New Lyrics for Spoiler Song that plays in Spoiler Location.

Very heavily interpreted, feel free to correct.

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.

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?
