There was also mention of wise men mentioned somewhere in her song, kinda fitting since Sophia = wisdom

I've got something similar to that.

...Speak an ancient rite, on her knees.
Breath as is from her lips,
Into her soul, the Goddess whispers:
"A heartbeat for the harmony,
Is a rhythm without time.
The heart seeketh equilibrium.
Without strength the (something)."
Says, "Truth is but the melody,
That memory shalt reveal.
One last step by leaving:
An empty heart (something)."

The chorus then seems to be saying "Chase the heartbeat".

I'm not that surprised to hear how different in tone this song is compared to Fiend (what with its running theme of betrayal and terrible revelations), but to see it take a more measured approach, especially with the music analogy in this part, is quite interesting. It seems she is, much like Sephirot is with regards to life, in control of some natural order or balance...which on second thought makes sense because she IS part of the Warring Triad. Maybe the power balance of FFVI does come into play here, but differently?

And I guess one last thing to note is that this song contains "Her" again. With Fiend it refers to the concept of Necessity, so I wonder if there's anything or anyone being specifically mentioned, or if it's just a pronoun.

Final Edit: Unless...*steals Anonymoose's crumpled darksteelfoil hat* ...the "Her" is the woman and the Goddess is the floating head! That would be quite the interesting dynamic, I feel.
