Song Lyrics in FFXIV: Compilation, Discussion, and Interpretation

[ShQwert]

Here's what I got from listening from the half-point song from the trailer.

1:40 -- “__ to will believe”
1:45 -- “__ voices __ high”
1:50 -- “__, one of us will carry on”
1:53 -- "when day beckons night"
1:55 -- “Answers restless times, as well as”
2:00 -- "Trusting hand in hand"
2:05 -- "Our steps will follow~"

2:08 -- “Stories end, thanks again”
2:13 -- “By a moon, can control the tide”
2:18 -- “Again protect where echoes spun wild due to moonlight”
2:27 -- "May we, walk on pointless, vow"
2:32 -- "Remember, see what's inside, trying"
2:37 -- "May we, fight forth together, now"
2:41 -- "Must be praised, will we erased, all we’ve embraced, be embraced in ___"

[Carin-Eri]

Apologies for the deviation from the discussion pertaining to the Newfound Adventure trailer, but whilst have tried searching for it I can't find the answer to this question elsewhere...

What is the name of the music track which plays when the Ragnarok launches? I know it's not the first time I've heard that track, but can't recall where else I heard it and if it sounded quite the same when heard it previously.

[ShQwert]

That would be "Torn from the Heavens"

[Carin-Eri]

That would be "Torn from the Heavens"

Fantastic - thank you

[Mance1462]

Welp, figured I'd try my hand at the lyrics after listening to the song non-stop today

Oh twin gods bless this land
To us treasure bestowed
City of desert sands
Water and gold below

Lifeblood and rubies fresh
Precious coins cast their glow
Your hands of fortune's mint(?)
That(?) what we may have known

And when we reach our ends
To scales we gladly go
Our fates are yours to mend
To hells and heavens flow

Under auburn sky
With silk veins(?) we weave rainbow
Voices sifted high
Dreams upon our backs we'll carry

When day beckons night
???????????
Trusting hand in hand
Life-death will follow!

>[Chorus 1]
????
Nascent flame
????
Dance with souls ???????
???????
Rise to new heights/lights/life?

May we walk on a ??????
Never see what's ?????
May we find fortune after life
For this we pray
Pray... x3
Twin flame!

>[Chorus 2]
????
Kindled flame
Fire burn
Sink to ?????
??????
Rise in the dawn by firelight!

May we ??????
Never fear ??? favor spun
May we be judged by what is right
For this we pray
Pray... x3
Twin flame!

[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.

I just came across this thread! Based on your updates and mine, as well as input from @/Lorem4TheGold and @/Cormbreb on Twitter, I've come up with this. Note that this is for the full ~5 minute version, not just the bit from the trailer, so there are two slightly different versions.

O, twin gods bless this land,
Towards treasure we stand.
City of desert sands,
Water and gold below.

Life's blood in ruby ___

[QuellingStrikes]

I didn't put a lot of changes from other have,
At the end of each "We pray" I added one of the Gods because I feel like I catch that?
Other than that if you see any very out there lyrics I just went with what I heard, not with what I think makes sense.

Old twin Gods blessed this land
To us treasure bestowed
City of desert sands
Water and gold below

Lifeblood and rubies red
Precious Coins cast a glow
Four hands are fortune's men
Their form we may have known

And when we reach our ends
To scales we gladly go
Our Faith is your demand
To hells and heavens go

Under ever’red sky
With silk waves we weave a rainbow
Voices lifted high
Dreams upon our backs we carry
When day beckons night
masters of restless time will slow
drifting hand in hand
Life, Death will follow

Storm fly
Waxen Flame
Cried avert
Dances soulful fire

Remember capture every gold spark
Rise to new heights

May we work on a coin and fly
Never cease without ev'r try
May we find fortune after life
For this pray
We pray
We pray
We pray
Twin Nald

Old twin Gods blessed this land
To us trasure bestowed
City of desert sands
Water and gold below

Lifeblood and rubies red
Precious Coins cast a glow
Four hands are fortune's men
Their form we may have known

And when we reach our ends
To scales we gladly go
Our Fates are yours to bend
To hells and heavens flow

Under ever’red sky
With silk veils we weave a rainbow
Voices lifted high
Dreams upon our backs we carry
When day beckons night
masters of restless time will slow
Trusting hand in hand
Life Death will follow

Stoke now
Kindled Flame
Hand over
Sing ‘til breath expires

May all those who wander
paths in the dark find firelight

May we all rest a regal star
Never fear unjust days expired
May we pay the price that is right
For this we pray
We pray
We pray
We pray
Twin Thal

[elyelu]

made an account for this because it's been on my mind, lol...
found this struggling through twitter looking for other people's interpretations and ended up making my own based on my ears and others' in the process. there's a few lines that really make no sense and some i just couldn't interpret but i tried my best for now and wanted to take a break, so i'll probably go back to it another time

o, twin gods, bless this land!
to us, treasure bestow!
city of desert sands,
water and gold below—
lifeblood and rubies red,
precious coins cast their glow.
four hands of fortune's mend,
their walk we may not know.
and, when we reach our ends,
to scales we gladly go—
our fates are yours to bend,
to hell's and heaven's flow.

under arid sky,
with silk veils we weave a rainbow,
voices sifted high,
dreams upon our backs we carry—
when day beckons night, ([take time?], light—)
as does restless time [lets slow?]
trusting hand in hand, life, death will follow

(chorus 1)

stoked light,
nascent flame,
brighter, burn—
dance with souls of fire!
remember, capture it,
oh, spark, rise to renew the light!

may we—want all that coin can buy—
never—see what's [revered???] [??? sounds like "and"??] [??? sounds like tried/trite?]—
may we—find fortune after life!
for this we pray,
we pray,
we pray,
we pray twinfold!

(chorus 2)

stoked light,
kindled flame,
hotter, burn—
sing till breath expires!
may those who wander
out in the dark find firelight!

may we—on astral eagles die—
never—fear unjust favors' spite—
may we—be judged by what is right!
for this we pray,
we pray,
we pray,
we pray twinfold!

[EaraGrace]

As is tradition, I'll take a stab and be completely off!

O' twin gods bless this land,
to us treasure bestow,
city of desert sands,
water and gold below.

Life's blood and rubies red,
Precious coins cast a glow,
By your hands our fortunes bend,
Their form we may not know.

And when we reach our ends,
Two scales we gladly go,
Our fates are yours to bend,
To hells and heavens flow.

Under arid sky,
With silk veils we weave a rainbow of,
Voices lifted high,
Dreams on our backs we carry.
When day beckons night,
...
Slowly drifting hand in hand,
Life, death will follow.

Storm cloud,
Makes the flame,
Briar burn,
Dances on the fire,
... capture every move
Spark lights to new life


May we walk on a...
Never, see what we find.
May we find fortune after life
We pray (x4)
Twin Thal.

(Repeats until)

Storm cloud,
Kindle flame,
Higher burn,
Sing to...
... those who wander
Ever in the dark find firelight.

May we arrest your regal star,
Ever fear what... will spark.
May we be judged by what we trust.
We pray (x4)
Twin Thals

Some gaps but I'll add more as I parse it
