"Sunrise" (千年の暁) is a theme song from Final Fantasy XIV, the battle theme of Suzaku. It was composed by Masayoshi Soken. The Japanese portion of the song is being sung by Suzaku's Japanese voice actress Yoshino Nanjo and is told from the character's point of view. While the first half is about her memories with Tenzen, the second is about her emotions after losing him.
Tenzen's reply to Suzaku are sung in English and he explains that he sacrificed himself for the people, and how sorry he is that his sacrifice saddened her, but assures her "we will meet again.".

Japanese[edit | edit source]
- 手繰り寄するは かの情景
- 清らに優し 恋ひ恋ふ花
- Blazing Scarlet, fire within
- Honor binds me unto errant kin
- Yea, if here I find my end
- Stay your tears, for we shall meet again
- 陽炎の如く消えた 恋ひ恋ふ吾が君
- 長き別れが来たり 幾度願へども
- 千年の暁 臥い乞う夜 過ぎて
- 三世を羽ばたけど ゆくえなく
- 一念に流すは 濃い紅の涙よ
- 願わくば吾が君 生き出で給へ
- 心念に終得て 恋ひ恋ふ身
- 朽ちたら 君待つ彼方へと

- taguri yosuru wa kano jōkei
- kiyora ni yasashi koi kō hana
- Blazing Scarlet, fire within
- Honor binds me unto errant kin
- Yea, if here I find my end
- Stay your tears, for we shall meet again
- kagerō no kotoku kieta koi kō agakimi
- nagaki wakare ga kitari ikudo negaedomo
- senen no akatoki koi kōya sugite
- sanze wo habata kedo yukuenaku
- ichinen ni nagasu wa koi kō no namida yo
- negawakuba agakimi ikiide tamae
- shinen ni tsuiete koi kōmi
- kuchitara kimimatsu kanata heto
English translation[edit | edit source]
- Drawn to a heart and a soul, saved by a hero true
- Stranger to kindness until freed by love eternal, you and I
- Blazing Scarlet, fire within
- Honor binds me unto errant kin
- Yea, if here I find my end
- Stay your tears, for we shall meet again
- As the light of the setting sun fades, bid farewell to me beloved
- In these fleeting moments hold my hand, as I whisper a silent prayer
- Should dawn never break on this thousand thousand year night, I promise
- Should I take to wing and seek you in every distant sky...
- One last breath and I fracture, shatter─crimson sorrow, endless, boundless
- One more life for us, one more chance─for this I pray, I beg, I plead
- Dreams of you and me in my heart I hold forevermore, as I falter
- Wait for me, wait for me my love...
