Song Lyrics in FFXIV: Compilation, Discussion, and Interpretation

[tawny]

And here I thought I might be the first one to give it a try, haha. Here's my best effort so far:

O twin gods bless this land
to us treasure bestow
City of desert sands
water and wood below

Life's blood and rubies red
precious coins cast a glow
Your hands our fortunes mend
that wealth we may have known

And when we reach our ends
to scales we gladly go
our faith by yours demand
to hells, an endless flow


Under arid sky (could be "errant sky")
with silk veils we weave rainbow
Voices lifted high
dreams upon our backs we carry

When day beckons night
Past us, restless time lets go
trusting hand in hand
Life, death will follow


[[chorus 1]]
Stone path, nascent flame
brighter burn
dance with souls of fire
<when ember catch your end, cool spun>
Rise to new heights

May we
walk on if coin can't buy
Never see what's reverent tried
May we
find fortune never die
For this we pray, we pray, we pray, we pray, Twins


[[chorus 2]]
Stone path, kindled flame
hotter burn
Seek to run things backwards(?)
And those who wander past
in the dark by firelight

May we
All as true eagles die(?)
Never fear unjust hate in spite
May we be judged what is right
For this we pray, we pray, we pray, we pray, Twins

I think you're right in a few places I have it different, e.g. "wood" is probably gold, and I think it might be "your hands our fortunes' mint". I'm pretty confident on "Past us, restless time" but the last two syllables are really inscrutable to me.
