Game appearancesEdit

Final Fantasy XIV: ShadowbringersEdit

The full version of "Shadowbringers" plays in the opening trailer. It features the opening refrain of "Tomorrow and Tomorrow" and a bridge based on "Eternal Wind" from Final Fantasy III.

A condensed version of "Shadowbringers" called "Who Brings Shadow" is used in the first phase of the final boss battle against Hades in The Dying Gasp, with the "Tomorrow and Tomorrow" and "Eternal Wind" segments cropped out.

Rearrangements of "Shadowbringers" serve as the main dungeon boss theme ("Insatiable") and the boss theme for the battle against Innocence ("Insanity").

LyricsEdit

For whom weeps the storm,

Her tears on our skin

The days of our years gone,

Our souls soaked in sin

These memories ache with the weight of tomorrow

Who fights?

Who flies?

Who falls?

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

One dark future no one survives

On their shadows, away we fly

The road that we walk

Is lost in the flood

Here proud angels bathe in

Their wages of blood

At this, the world's end, do we cast off tomorrow

One brings shadow, one brings light

To this riddle all souls are tied

Brief our moments, brazen and bright

Forged in fury, tempered in ice

Hindmost devils, early to rise

Sing come twilight, sleep when they die

Heaven's banquet leavened with lies

Sating honor, envy, and pride

One brings shadow, one brings light

Run from the light

Authors of our fates

Orchestrate our fall from grace

Poorest players on the stage

Our defiance drives us straight to the edge

A reflection in the glass

Recollections of our past

Swift as darkness, cold as ash

Far beyond this dream of paradise lost

Home

Riding home

Dying hope

Hold onto hope... Ohhh...

Home

Riding home

Home, riding home

Hope, finding hope... Ohhh...

One brings shadow, one brings light

One more chapter we've yet to write

Want for nothing, nothing denied

Wand'ring ended, futures aligned

One brings shadow, one brings light

You are the light

We fall

We fall unto the end

One world's end

Our world's end

Our end

We won't end

I am shadow, I am the light
