"Return to Oblivion"
"Return to Oblivion" (忘却の此方 ～希望の園エデン：共鳴編～, Bōkyaku no Konata ~Kibō no En Eden: Kyōmeihen~?, lit. Returning Oblivion ~Eden the Garden of Hope: Resonance~) is a boss theme in Final Fantasy XIV: Shadowbringers for Shiva, while she is inside the body of Ryne. This stands in contrast to "Oblivion", which refers to the incarnation of Shiva hosted by Ysayle. It was composed by Masayoshi Soken, and interpreted by Mary-Kate Jiménez-Wall[1].

Lyrics[]
- Wanting, I lie
- Too weary to die
- Too lost to the ice for saving
- My sins claim me, untame me
- Eyes wet with tears
- Her song in my ears
- Broken, faded, how long have I waited
- To open my wings
- Turn the light on
- And let her in. Won't you
- Turn the light on
- Turn the light on
- You'll never win 'less you
- Turn the light on
- Turn the light on
- The pain won't end 'till you
- Turn the light on
- The soul longs for oblivion, oblivion
- Falling too far for the fear to embrace me
- A voice from the past screaming there is no end (no)
- A slave to my fate, ever doomed to repeat this
- again and again and again and again (yeah, I'm)
- Falling too fast, no it won't overtake me
- A voice from the past echoes loud like a drum (oh, yes)
- no more goodbyes, though my heart is still aching
- Now open my eyes, one more time, Here I come
- Reason resigned
- Dark seasons' design
- Spring's promise of sun is honored
- When winter's weighed down on us
- Visions in white
- Raw fury in flight
- Clear as diamond, yet fragile as ice
- My heart is racing
- Turn the light on
- And let her in. Won't you
- Turn the light on
- Turn the light on
- You'll never win 'less you
- Turn the light on
- Turn the light on
- The pain won't end 'till you
- Turn the light on
- The soul longs for oblivion, oblivion
- Falling too far for the fear to embrace me
- A voice from the past screaming there is no end (no)
- A slave to my fate, ever doomed to repeat this
- again and again and again and again (yeah, I'm)
- Falling too fast, but the fall will not break me
- A voice from the past echoes loud like a drum (oh, yes)
- no more goodbyes, I am tired of waiting
- Now open my eyes, one last time, Here I come (yeah I come)[2]
