A new trailer and a new song! Based on previous pattern I'd guess this one is called "Shadowbringers" :P
I've only managed to make out two lines so far though... with voiced lines and sound effects it's tough!
Obviously very rough! I'm sure other folks have keener ears than I nowadaysCode:For whom weeps the Star Her tears on her skin (??) ??????? Our souls soaked in sin (....why our souls have been sent?) With ???????? (We ... we're taught to...?) We fight, we force, we face One brings shadow, one brings light Two-toned echoes turning the tide [?] Three score wasted and ten cast aside ... following, no end in sight [there's a FOUR/FOR here probably to keep the counting theme going?] What brings shadow, what brings light ....away we fly! Now all that we've won, is lost in the Flood (The road that we've walked is Lost in the flood? does not stem the Flood?) Now follow your fate and now rain tears of blood (down rains tears of blood?) [We are proud to ... rain tears of blood?] Now ... resent (repent?) ... cast ... tomorrow ......... Forging forward ..... ......... What brings shadow What brings light .......blight <no idea; kuribu fight sequence> Shadows of the Past ?????????????? with the Echoes of the Past ???????????? <choir> Guiding star; guiding light Through the storm ???? ????????????????? Fighting for ????? Fighting for ????????? <end choir> What brings shadow what brings light ........ <eternal wind> We fought we won we fought we lost [all in the end?] The end, The end, our end ....

That's what I was thinking as well unless they pull what they did with Stormblood's "Storm of Blood" and call it "Bringer of Shadows"
Then again, the SB trailer song didn't feel much like a single cohesive song. I do understand these trailer songs are basically overtures for the expansion as a whole but SB's felt disjointed to me.
There's also a lot more lyrics in this song than previous CG trailers, which ain't making this any easier, haha! But, yeah, this one's pretty hard compared to the others. Here's my current attempt:

One brings shadow, one brings them flight
Two-toned echoes turning the tide,

We fall!
We fall, fall into the end!
The end!

At the end of the song I hear:
We vow! x4
unto the heir!
The heir! x2
to hell with tiiiiiiiiiime
(what brings shadow, what brings the light)
The first line I hear "For whom weeps the Star"
Later on during the male vocals I hear "Now [?] is the reason to be cast unto the morrow"
I hear "I bring shadow, I bring the night" in the beginning of the male whisper. given the statement that we are to literally bring the night cycle back to the first, this also makes more sense to me.
Especially since the killing blow against the first sin eater cuts open a tear in the cloud cover that shows the night sky. It sounds like "I bring the shadow, I bring the light" the last time near the end, but it otherwise sounds more like "night" to me.
There was a moment in one of the previous Fanfests where there was a crowd Q&A. A person asked Soken what the lyrics were to the song. He said he wouldn't share, but leaned into his mic and repeated the first line and it sounded very much like "One brings shadow, one brings (the) light"
