"Worlds Collide" (衝突する世界, Shōtotsusuru Sekai?) is a boss theme from Final Fantasy XIII-2 and is also used in Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy XIII.

It was composed and arranged by Naoshi Mizuta with vocals by David Whitaker who also wrote the lyrics. The game's soundtrack album uses a version of the theme that is different from the one featured in game, with slightly altered instrumentation and cleaner sounding vocals.

Lyrics[]

The official lyrics were released on the Final Fantasy XIII-2: Original Soundtrack.

Worlds
Collide and people fade
Seeking Gates through timelines
We've all prayed
Let's fix the past
Trade in now to see smiling faces
This
Hope
Heart of Chaos can not take
Paradoxes must break
This is the path I must take
My destiny may change your fate
The pain my heart feels is my strength
Worlds
Collide and people fade
Seeking Gates through timelines
We've all prayed
Let's fix the past
Trade in now to see smiling faces
This
Hope
Heart of Chaos can not take
Paradoxes must break
This is the path I must take
My destiny may change your fate
The pain my heart feels is my strength
Worlds
Collide and people fade
Seeking Gates through timelines
We've all prayed
Let's fix the past
Trade in now to see smiling faces
This
Hope
Heart of Chaos can not take
Paradoxes must break
This is the path I must take
My destiny may change your fate
The future to come is one we've made
