Song Lyrics in FFXIV: Compilation, Discussion, and Interpretation

[StarDrake]

My transcription, from repeated listenings:

Children of the Land, do you hear
Echoes of truths that once rang clear
Two souls entertwined, true love they did find
Bringing land and heavens near

But flames that burned full-bright soon fell dark
Memories dimmed by shadowed hearts
In the waxing gloom, did wane the Lovers' Moon
Watching as their worlds drift apart

One soul's cry, a passion welling within
Sacrifice, a final plea to her kin
Yet this bond of hope
By treachery was broke
Scattering her words to the wind

Swelling overlong(?), seas of blood are (a song)
And death an afterthought to those who fight for (naught)
Alone, lying empty
(Her rain, in a cliff?)
Alone, for eternity
A pain, without cease

Children of the land, answer this:
Why must you turn to empty bliss?
Tell me why break trust?
Why turn the past to dust?
Seeking solace in the abyss

Tell me why create
A circle none can break
Why must you let go
The life you were bestowed
This I fear I'll never know

Never know

That middle section is really hard to parse in some places, curse it. I'm confident in most of it except for that one line entirely in parenthesis.

EDIT: Okay, looked at the OP, and actually on listening I agree with a few of the bits I'd questioned and updated accordingly... except for the line after "Alone, lying empty". It begins with "her", but then I can hear nothing BUT "rain", and then the last bit is extremely unclear but doesn't seem to be "incomplete" unless Calloway is slurring like mad.

Though I do also think that first question-mark I have marked is "light", not love.
