Dragonsong lyrics

[allgivenover]

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

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

[Mercer]

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"

[Trigonxv]

 

 

Alone, lying empty

 

A bane, incomplete

 

Alone, for eternity

 

A pain, without cease

 

 

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.

[allgivenover]

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

[Maril]

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".

[allgivenover]

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

Susan Calloway responded to my youtube comment with clarification.

 

seas of blood, are a song

and death an after thought.

to those who fight for naught

a throne - lying empty

a reign, incomplete

alone for eternity

a  pain, without cease

[Trigonxv]

Woo at least i got the throne part right \o/

[allgivenover]

You sure did, very nice catch

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

 

Also, seriously... the new trailer and the song is killing me. It gives me such a strong, melancholic vibe. 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
