![]() ![]() ![]() To begin We first must see the end One brings shadow, one brings light Two-toned echoes tumbling through time Threescore wasted, ten cast aside Four-fold knowing, no end in sight One brings shadow, one brings light Two-toned echoes tumbling through time Threescore wasted, ten cast aside Four-fold knowing, no end in sight Rock of ages, we cast the first stone In our cages, we know not what we do Indecision here at the crossroads Recognition, tomorrow's come too soon Follow blindly like lambs to slaughter At the mercy of those who ply the sword As our song wends dead underwater We're forgotten for now and evermore Riding home Riding home Finding hope Don't lose hope Without a compass wand'ring lost in lies of faith (Faith slowly wasting away) Only alive in fighting Death's amber embrace (Our hearts beat loud, unafraid) On Hands and knees we pray to gods we've never seen (Come shadow, come follow me) The final hour upon us, no more time to breathe In monochrome melodies Our tears are painted in red (Bleeding to the edge) Deep inside we're nothing more Than scions and sinners In the rain Do light and darkness fade Yes, time circles endlessly The hands of fate trained ahead (Pointing to the edge) All things change, drawn to the flame To rise from the ashes. Catch us before we fall Riding home Riding home Finding hope Don't lose hope Like broken angels, wingless, cast from heavens' gates (Our slumb'ring demons awake) We only fly when falling, falling far from grace (Hell take us, heaven can wait) Our lives a message in a bottle cast to sea (Disgrace untold and unseen) Quick to their ends, our candles burn until we're free In monochrome melodies Our tears are painted in red (Bleeding to the edge) Deep inside we're nothing more Than scions and sinners In the rain Do light and darkness fade Yes, time circles endlessly The hands of fate trained ahead (Pointing to the edge) All things change, drawn to the flame To rise from the ashes. The lyrics were translated into Japanese by Natsuko Ishikawa.Įnglish One brings shadow, one brings light Two-toned echoes tumbling through time Threescore wasted, ten cast aside Four-fold knowing, no end in sight One brings shadow, one brings light Two-toned echoes tumbling through time Threescore wasted, ten cast aside Four-fold knowing, no end in sight All our splendour bathed black in silence Our surrender a sombre reverie Slowly drifting down into twilight Left to sifting through faded memories Know our places, for worth is wordless Evanescent, this writing on the wall Brother stay this descent to madness Come and save us. The official lyrics do not include the italicized lyrics, which are either taken from "Shadowbringers" or from a previous stanza. ![]() The album Scions & Sinners: Final Fantasy XIV ~Arrangement Album~ is named in honor of the quote "Deep inside we're nothing more / Than scions and sinners" from "To the Edge". As with most songs which refer to Azem, "To the Edge" alludes to "amber", or more precisely "Death's amber embrace". The song is written in common time, and its instrumentation mainly consists of electric guitar and percussion the latter provides a metronomic effect.Īccording to Final Fantasy XIV Community Team member Sicycre, the lyrics of "To the Edge" refer to the characters present at the Seat of Sacrifice (Elidibus, Emet-Selch, Azem, and the Warrior of Darkness), describing them as "those who became incapable of bringing things to an end, and those who arrived to bring closure." As such, "To the Edge" can both be interpreted as a description of the Final Days of Amaurot, and as a description of the loss of memories that Emet-Selch and Elidibus experienced in immortality. "To the Edge" features a portion of " Shadowbringers" and is an arrangement of " 'Neath Dark Waters", the theme of Amaurot, which in turn shares the same motif as the themes of the Tempest ("Full Fathom Five") and Amaurot ("Mortal Instants"). ![]() Final Fantasy 7 Remake Intergrade Intermission Review - Half-Measure ![]()
