Thanks to Susan Calloway herself I'm 100% certain now.

Quote:Children of the land do you hear
Echoes of truths that once rang clear
Two souls intertwined
One true love they did find
Bringing land and heavens near
But flames that burn full bright, soon fell dark
Memories dimmed by shadowed hearts
In the waxing gloom did wane the lover's moon
Watching as their worlds drift apart
One soul's cry
A passion dwelling within
Sacrifice, a final plea to her kin
Yet this bond of hope, by treachery was broke
Scattering her words to the wind
Swelling over long,
seas of blood, are a song
And death an afterthought
To those who fight for naught
A throne, lying empty
A reign, incomplete
Alone, for eternity
A pain, without cease
Children of the land, answer this
Why must you turn to empty bliss
Tell me why break trust, why turn the past to dust
Seeking solace in the abyss
Tell me why create, a circle none can break
Why must you let go, the life you were bestowed
This I fear I'll never know
Never know
Anyone else catch the Chrono Trigger music?

Having trouble with the end, is itÂ
"life you were bestown/bestowed?"
orÂ
"life you will bestow?"
The former makes more sense, but I swear I hear "will"

Good god i got that part wrong i thought it was
A throne, lying empty
A faith, incomplete
A love, for eternity
A pain, without fear
and I believe I heard bestowed as well.
Oh, could be that. Giving my ears a rest before I listen again. Will edit if I agree with you.
Made a few edits, will listen again after another break.
I've had it on repeat for a few hours. I am pretty sure she sings "the life you were bestowed", it's just a slightly quirky "were".
Yep, it was just a little muddled after so many listens is all.
Susan Calloway responded to my youtube comment with clarification.

Pasting this message from another topic since it's relevant here too.

For me, it does a great job to convey the atmosphere of trying to pick yourself up and push forward even after you've lost everything. I keep listening to it. I just love it so much X_X
In any case, thank you very much for the lyrics. They're really nice to know!
I was really moved by this song. It echoes the loss you experience as a character in the main scenario, and the loss of good people, and perhaps a more ideal future. Just, continuous loss. It's painful. But yet it's beautiful at the same time. Like a thorned rose. Ouch, but lovely. I thought nothing could be better than Answers for me. But this is just about as good.
Alot of people think that Shiva's lover was actually a dragon, but what if it was actually a Dragoon? The 1st Dragoon, Haldrath, to be exact.
Its basically a tale to 2 lovers torn apart due to differences of belief. Haldrath with Ishgard and Shiva with the Dravanians. It seems that peace/ truce was achieved, but was quickly broken
