Worlds Collide

"Worlds Collide"

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

It was composed by Naoshi Mizuta with vocals by David Whitaker. 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[edit | edit source]

Worlds collide and people fade

Seeking gates through timelines, we've all prayed

Let's fix the past, trade it now

To see smiling faces

This hope, Heart of Chaos cannot 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 it now

To see smiling faces

This hope, Heart of Chaos cannot 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 it now

To see smiling faces

This hope, Heart of Chaos cannot take

Paradoxes must break

This is the path I must take

My destiny may change your fate

The future to come is what we make
