Final Fantasy XIV: Shadowbringers[edit | edit source]
In Reflections in Crystal, "To the Edge" plays in the final boss battle against the Warrior of Light in The Seat of Sacrifice. It 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 the Amaurot dungeon ("Mortal Instants").
Lyrics[note 1][edit | edit source]
- 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. 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.
- 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.
- To begin
- We first must see the end
