Song Lyrics in FFXIV: Compilation, Discussion, and Interpretation

[Enkidoh]

"Forged in Crimson" doesn't seem to have any actual lyrics being just chanting so I know it's not exactly in the scope of the thread but like... it's totally based on Hydain's cover of the song from back in the day, right?

Doesn't it though? Hyadain's famous fan remix of Battle With the Four Fiends had actual lyrics, and I'm sure I hear

"Rubicante"

fittingly sung in this version at least. Which would make sense of course.

Yes I totally kept singing the lyrics from that video.. "Golby, Golby..."

Deciphering Attempt for Dedicated to Moonlight

(Moonlight fair reprise)
(Into the night fly)
(Follow the moonlight)
(Fear not what you find)

(Our hearts desire)
(Join now our choir)
(For love conspire)
(Go chase it higher)

To the silent woods tonight
I am guided by moonlight
For the first time so alone, fearing no shadow

Like my mother before me
I follow this path knowing love will find me

She can hear my song tonight
Dedicated to moonlight
See that I’m a woman grown enough for secrets

Like my partner before me
I know each note every beat melody mine to keep

(Come sing now onto the sky)
(Birds fly, mountains still peak through the light)

Oh, wide open midnight sky
Please carry my, prayers along, faraway, where she waits, lovers moon
(Moon… Moon…)

Fearless goddess wondering the night
In hymn we bear our hearts
With your grace will our passion defy

We would keep your song alive
Sheltered safe in soft moonlight (flawless moonlight)

Maiden goddess of heavens above
In hymn we share our hearts
With your grace will prayer become

Solace, shelters, hope, and love
Be remembered tales sing of moonlight

(Songbirds of night)
(Pasion take flight)

(Silvers and bright)
(Flawless moonlight)

(This world we shame)
(With you we care)

Love for you

I don't think its just outright chanting, it could be another language?

There is absolutely Japanese in the Rubicante song

[DarthXelion]

While I'm unsure if Forged in Crimson actually has lyrics I spent like a bit listening to the first minute and 16 roughly seconds of the song to see if there is any real lyrics. Near the end of the song it DOES sound like their singing but that might purely be brain rot because I love this song. So I went and wrote what I roughly heard for the first minute and 16 seconds but I'm pretty sure the song doesn't have lyrics. I am confident its real people singing and not synthesized like Ultima, Worms tail, endcaller ect. But rather this song uses Phonetics which has the sense of sounding like real words but its just people speaking gibberish. Either way I wrote what I believe I've heard whether or not anyone else hears what I heard feel free to listen. Only the first like minute and 16 seconds roughly as said before.

??He brings end times??
??He comes for us??

Hydaelyn Hydaelyn
As our mother we want to die
(We want to die)
Fires rise, Flame is hot
??We pray for salvation??
??Do you know death, Death, Death??
??Come bring death?? And save us.

It’s ok, it’s almost here
??For the world to rejoin??
??Everybody come??
??(Everybody come)??
Stay your tears, face your fears
In this end, ??nobody will be left??
??Violence we sought??
Begins, the end ?????

Ignite the flames in my soul
Forged in crimson, rise up

???, Give in
To this, Blasted Melody
All of us, Die now
For this, the end of times

Now we go
Now to die

When i first hear it, i thought it was totaly Hyadain song of four fiends

[Roxas33150]

Four fiends name are italian (i think) scarmignlionne, cagnazzo, rubicante and barbariccia so i think (maybe) that lyrics might be in latin or italian maybe ^^ cause i maybe hear some latin or italian words

The Four Fiends have names of the demons of the Malebranche from Dante's Divine Comedy. (Fun fact: the same is true of Calcabrina and Grafficane!)

I'm like 99% sure the lyrics to Rubicante's version of the fight are fancy-sounding nonsense, personally. But worth saying that on Twitter, Soken seemed to coyly hint at the fact that we don't know the song credits for that song, so it might not just be based on Hyadain's version.

Confirmed, forged in crimson has lyrics and was arranged by hyadain!
