Dragonsong lyrics - allgivenover - 05-21-2015

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

[youtube]FtuwltmTp9I[/youtube]

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 it 

"life you were bestown/bestowed?"

or 

"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.


RE: Dragonsong lyrics - allgivenover - 05-21-2015

Made a few edits, will listen again after another break.


RE: Dragonsong lyrics - Maril - 05-21-2015

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".


RE: Dragonsong lyrics - allgivenover - 05-21-2015

Yep, it was just a little muddled after so many listens is all.

Susan Calloway responded to my youtube comment with clarification.

RE: Dragonsong lyrics - allgivenover - 05-21-2015

You sure did, very nice catch Big Grin

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
