Game appearances

Final Fantasy XIV

This song is the fifth and final track that plays during the fights against Titan, following "Weight of a Whisper", "Weight of his Will", "Weight of the World", and "Heartless". This track plays once the final phase begins after he uses his signature attack Earthen Fury. Befitting the Lord of Crags, the song is a heavy metal composition.

The lyrics are meant to indicate Titan' contempt for the Hyur, Elezen, Lalafell, Roegadyn, and Miqo'te of Eorzea.

Lyrics

A full transcript of the lyrics were posted on the Final Fantasy XIV Developer's Blog on December 11, 2013:

Wrought from the rock that stands upon old,

With heart of black and a stare that's cold

Cold are the hands that grasp at your soul

'Fore the graves are dug and the death knells toll

Tempered in the flows of the mountain's core,

Where the rage runs red twixt shore and shore

Shorn from the world 'neath the blazing sun

Bound to the dark, for the light I shun!

Bow down, overdweller (under the weight)

Bow down, overdweller (under the weight)

Bow down, overdweller (under the weight)

Bow down, overdweller (in hell I wait)

Bow down, overdweller (under the weight)

Bow down, overdweller (under the weight)

Bow down, overdweller (under the weight)

Succumb to the hate that corrupts your fate!

Into the dark of an endless night,

Where the pulse of the land offers no respite

In spite of the blood that was spilled before,

You whet your blades, you thirst for more

Now, kneel, overdweller, your lord commands!

There's no salvation for the sons of man!

The skies will tremble and the earth will quake

From the crumbling walls, no one escapes!

Bow down, overdweller (under the weight)

Bow down, overdweller (under the weight)

Bow down, overdweller (under the weight)

Bow down, overdweller (in hell I wait)

Bow down, overdweller (under the weight)

Bow down, overdweller (under the weight)

Bow down, overdweller (under the weight)

I'll drag you right down to the seventh gate

Wrought from the rock that stands upon old

With heart of black and a stare that's cold

C-c-cold are the hands that grasp at your soul

'Fore the graves are dug and the death knells toll

T-t-tempered in the flows of the mountain's core

Where the rage runs red twixt shore and shore

Shorn from the world 'neath the blazing sun

Bound to the dark, for the light I shun

Bow down, overdweller (under the weight)

Bow down, overdweller (under the weight)

Bow down, overdweller (under the weight)

Bow down, overdweller (in hell I wait)

Bow down, overdweller (under the weight)

Bow down, overdweller (under the weight)

Bow down, overdweller (under the weight)

Succumb to the hate that corrupts your fate!
