Abyssos Sixth/Seventh Circle Theme "Scream" (official lyrics in subtitles) - FFXIV OST 

I refuse to believe that the Ancients up in Elpis can’t hear this with how hard this goes. Emet probably filed for a noise complaint which only made Hephaistos turn the music up even louder.

Party member: "First timer here, do you have any advice?" Me: "Turn up the volume."

Hard to believe this is music for an MMO. The one thing that is absolutely unarguable it's that XIV's music dumps all over every other MMO's music by orders of magnitude.

You do know the Twelve aint gonna let this song go unchecked. Next Agalia raid is gonna have some bangers, guarantee.

The vocalist is confirmed to be AKINO from bless4. Soken has tweeted about it.

"So scream all you like, no gods can hear you" raw as FUCK

It’s amazing how this game goes from this to Island Sanctuary 😂❤️

Oh sweet, ancient-made horrors beyond our comprehension

Abyssos is my favorite Evanescence track

Between Pandemonium and the MSQ I love how unapologetically edgy this patch has been. It's great

Raid Leader: "Guys, I need you to follow the strat. DPS stand he-" The rest of the Raid: "SAY GOODNIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIGHT"

Firing off Enshroud as a Reaper when the chorus drops is such a triumphant feeling. :3

Honestly, seeing that twisted, Eldrich tree horror was the most mind blowing part of the raid to me. A strange, tortured abomination of a creature plus banger music? Check.

The callback to the theme of Hic Svnt Leones is amazing, I loved how they did so many callbacks in the songs

FFXIV Community : There's no way they'll one up Hic Svnt Leones Soken, he who does not miss : *O B S E R V E*

This is so grungy, god I love it. Soken and his team do something new and cool almost every patch.

“Suicide or choke on your pride” is metal af, god this song goes so hard

I never expected them to go full metal for Abyssos. I can't complain at all though; this is one of the best raid BGMs yet.

A perfect embodiment of the torture the Warders had to go through as they were twisted into monsters and us who had to witness what became of them

I was fucking amazed with the theme of the 5th circle, but WHEN THE VOCALS STARTED ON THE 6TH I WAS NO LONGER PLAYING THE GAME! I WAS FUCKING JAMMING AT A CONCERT!

This tier was excellent, the music is absolutely fuckin' stellar

Local retro game shop played this and I thought it was a Persona 3 track at first. Not complaining tho, it's awesome.

I love FFXIV music but this might be the first time since Dragonsong that I am listening to a track on repeat for 3 days. This is not even the type of music I gravitate towards, it's just so unbelievably good.

god the tree was so haunting, seeing her lifeless, screaming face molded into it. Proper mad scientist stuff I love it

YoshiP: "Soken-sama, we need a soundtrack for Endwalker. We need some few really good songs and you're free to do what you want for the rest of them" Soken: "Forget about a few good songs, I'll beat the shit out of their fucking ears!"

I've written down the lyrics as I listened many times and edited few corrections from amazing comments! Lyrics: Wild child, bastard and beast A lost lamb, first to the feast Go claim if you're able, a spot at this table Mild and meek, down on your knees For hide and seek, it’s time that we feed Your heart is racing, blood is running cold Your fractured will is whispering (higher, higher) far away Here, be lions Say goodnight With each bite, does your sanity die Step from the light, now, letting the dark Inside, say a prayer as the light leaves your eyes Or scream all you like, your Gods can’t hear you Scream (Scream) Scream So suicide or choke on your pride Scream (Scream) Now, scream We're gonna watch you bleed Flensed and flayed, how does it feel? Your pound is paid, those scars will not heal You're lost and suffering, drowning in your tears Will someone somewhere tell me (where we'll) go from here Be the lion Say goodnight With each bite does your sanity die Step from the light, now, letting the dark Inside, say a prayer as the light leaves your eyes Or scream all you like, the Gods can’t hear you Dressed in rage, inside my cage My Pandæmonium, still bound to the flame out of fear There'll be no light In the comfort of who I used to be Oh scream all you like 'cause we're all mad here Suffering, tempering Whimpering, wandering Simpering, hungering (Further falling into the night) Deeper, deeper down tonight Say goodnight To the shadow I left far behind I'm just a stranger, we are strange Inside, we can run but there's nowhere to hide So scream all you like, no one can hear us Follow me (follow me) Come, follow me (follow me) To Pandæmonium Still bound to the flame, full of fear There's no release, from this empty-waking Wonderland So scream if you like 'cause we're all mad here Scream all you like 'cause we're all mad here

These 4 raids were the best they have done in a long time, of also really fun raids. Can't wait for savage.

This could be the main boss theme for Endwalker and I wouldn't complain one bit

How do they expect us to focus on the mechanics of the fight when they put out bangers like this. Excellent music/ excellent fights throughout this entire raid. FFXIV you did it again.

This is like Evanescence mixed with mid 2000s Shoji Meguro (Digital Devil Saga and Persona 3 particularly jump to mind). It's glorious.

The music fell off at the "Scream All You Like, No Gods Can Hear You" the second Hegemone fell in defeat the first time I fought her. It was AWESOME

This song has hard edgy Evanescence vibes, and I appreciate it so much. Only in FFXIV do we get dark rock songs for our battle music. Bless you Soken.

This one will be a real banger at a primals concert one day.

I would love a Primals music video for this song, it's so freaking GOOD.

I’m only realising this now, but every Hemitheos has had a song, Hesperos had one, and we have 2 in Abyssos with this killer track

I've had this on repeat for like the last 3 hours now, song slaps dude

Scream: "Here be lions." Hic Svnt Leones: "Here be lions." Pandæmonium: (not a single lion in sight) Either we have been lied to, or the real lions were the friends we made along the way.

Soken killed it as usual, FF14 and 16's music are in good hands.

The final chorus is so much better than the other ones to the point that it made me think if this was actually the trailer song during the raid until it came up. That's what you call popping off.

Idk how they do it, but the music in this game just gets better and better

This is the best track for the raid series. This is a hill I will die on.

Jesus I still love this song 8 months later. I remember loading into p6n for the first time and this song hitting me like a fucking freight train. God it’s so good

This is quite different than most songs, since it is a full featured song, not the normal one or two verses repeated. Also, very well done. They could release this as a single for radio play if they wanted to, and it would probably do well on the rock charts.

I'm getting a huge Shin/general Megami Tensei vibe from the song and i love it

Sounds like a CoD Zombies Easter egg song in the best way possible

This was the first raid content I ever did on release day. I was still working through ShB when EW dropped, and I was focusing on school when 6.1 came out, so I didn't do Aglaia until a couple weeks after it released. Definitely a cool experience. Can't wait for 6.3 and the next alliance raid.

Also love how the first tier in this section’s theme is called Silent scream when the next two is called scream. Soken you mad genius.

Love that this tier felt like a homage to Resident Evil and the previous tier was definitely one for Castlevania with all the chains, spike traps and vampires. Excited to see what the last floor gives us for another game.

I don't know how or why but this was somehow next in line after Neco Arc's theme. What a perfect time to break into Evanescence.

Dressed in rage! Inside my cage! My Pandaemonium! Still clutching the flame out of fear. There’ll be no light In the comfort of who I used to be! So scream all you like, ‘cause we’re all mad here.

This has such Evanescence vibes and I am HERE for it!

I'm going to be tanking the floor in savage because I'll be head banging to this over my static's callouts.

Love that the favoured music choice for the Ancients working in Pandaemonium is metal. Fitting, given what they have to deal with in there. Absolute banger too.

as a healer main i just wanted to u know that ur oblation at 3:32 was noticed and appreciated greatly even if they still died askdjhaksd

This is why I don't watch the patch trailers until after I've played it. Hearing this song in context and for the first time during the fight made it so much better .

I didn't think they'd be able to surpass the hype of Hic Svnt Leones and then they did on literally the second fight

This song had no business being this good

1 million views. Tells you how much of a banger this song is. It's certainly a masterpiece.

I am blown away by this track, and just how good aesthetical, thematically and mechanically p7 is

What I'm most interested in from the lyrics is 2 things, specifically the 2 literary references in "your pound is paid" and "We're all mad here". The former being an allusion to Merchant of Venice, being a harsh punishment to pay off a debt and the latter being from Alice in Wonderland. Alice has been in this world so long that she's been irreversibly changed from who she used to be. How I see it, Hephaistos on his imposed "debt" to Athena in bringing her back. The other Warders at this point have been warped and twisted under his influence, unable to escape. They're now irreversibly "mad" and are now intent on turning Erichtonios and Lahabrea "mad" too to Hephaistos's ends.

If I didn't play this game, I would think this was one of those gameplay videos where they replace the audio with their favorite song or something

The music for this patch is awesome! Keep it up.

I love how the timing in the first cycle of the song aligns with the first transmission's countdown timer and the main chorus coming back up after the song's bridge. It was a nice touch.

I have this song stuck in my head, it's one of the best theme's they have done so far. Soken is awesome 👍

I got the orchestrion in my 1st pull of p6. Damn the song is a banger!

FF community: (p1-4) "The fights where okay, the music wasn't that good though" Soken: "OI YOSHIDA, HOLD MY DAMN BEER!"

I can't stop listening to this masterpiece. My gawd, this sounds so damn good!

The raids have been fucking amazing one after another and the soundtracks also complete bangers. Thank you ffxiv team thank you sound team, thank you Soken for making such an amazing experience.

How do they keep throwing bangers at us like this, these people simply too good

I feel so happy to be the correct age to be nostalgic for the style they're appealing to.... This goes so hard

Song is great, but the uptime exaflare dodge made the video even better.

This music is like Dracula holding a goth rock party in his basement. It's fantastic. I feel like this music lines up with some great moments during the fight. That beginning crash of the chorus aligned with the running around the boss's attacks all together and it was awesome during my fight.

Soken san has out done himself once again with his music.. honestly the guy and his crew are absolutely gifted.

Foul child, bastard and beast O lost lamb, first to the feast Come claim if you're able A spot at this table Mild and meek, down on your knees For hide and seek. It's time that we feed Your heart is racing, blood is running cold Your fractured will is whispering (fly away, fly away) Far Away Here be lions Say goodnight With each bite does your sanity die Sucking the life out, letting the dark Inside Say a prayer as the light leaves your eyes Or scream all you like, your gods can't hear you Scream Now Scream Scream Pseudo suicide, don't choke on your pride Scream Now scream Now. Scream. Yeah, I'm gonna watch you bleed Flensed and flayed, how does it feel? Your pound is paid, those scars will not heal, no Lost in suffering, drowning in your tears Won't someone, somewhere tell me (where do I, where do I) Go from here Be the lion Say goodnight With each bite does your sanity die Sucking the life out, letting the dark Inside Say a prayer as the light leaves your eyes Or scream all you like, the gods can't hear you Dressed in rage Inside my cage My pandemonium Still bound to the flame that I bear Buried alive In the coffin of who I used to be I'll scream all I like, 'cause we're all mad here (Slumbering, tumbling) (Wandering, wondering) (Suffering, hungering) Forever falling into my mind Deeper, deeper down 'til I Say goodnight To the shadow I left far behind I'm just a stranger, we are all strange Inside You can run but there's nowhere to hide So scream all you like, no one can hear us Follow me (Follow me) Come follow me (Follow me) To Pandemonium Still bound to the flame that I bear (There's) No release (Rescue me) From this empty, waking wonderland (Rescue me) So scream if you like, 'cause we're all mad here Scream all you like, 'cause we're all mad here

This song has been living in my brain for weeks - you rock for this!

In the history of FFXIV, this goes down as one of the biggest bangers of all ffxiv bangers

Someone help me!!! I can't stop listening to this 😆

Amazing song, I died too many times while jamming but totally worth

Soken continues to put out heater after heater

Raiding to this in Savage has been so much more of an enjoyable experience than the previous tier

As a dragoon main this song is immaculate as you do a stardiver in sync with “say goodnight” I be feeling so damn powerful

Gotta say, I love that the more I listen the more small details I notice I love, like the heavy metallic twanging rhythm when the second partvstarts at "flensed and flayed"

I can't get it out of my head, i love this theme

I find it very fitting that this plays during an encounter with female bosses. We haven't had an female encounter with edgy vocals since ARR Shiva

One of the best tracks they’ve ever done!!!

Holy shit there's so much edge in this patch and I love it

3:33 I love how the Dragoon decides that they are indeed a floor tank after getting raised by the RDM and promptly dying again since they didn't wait out their buff to let the healers heal em.

The lyrics are so fitting... It perfectly describes the week 1 P7S experience.

Sounds like early 00s Nu Metal jams. Love it.

"Buried alive in the coffin of who I used to be" has gotta be the rawest line Sokken and his team have ever written and that includes both Oblivions and Sephirot

I love this song, man I love all of sokens songs! He's a very talented man

Holy shit you managed to get Foitong Cake in your party for this? You either have amazing luck or have friends in high places!

I feel awful for the girls that went through this. Minus Eric's mom. She had it coming

This has to be Athena singing from behind the bars of her cage at the lowest level of pandæmonium

The regular version was good enough for a solo casual like me. Don’t want to mess with this on savage.

This patch felt so classic Final Fantasy to me

Does Elena Siegman have a more chilled out sister working at Square Enix rather than Activision?? Banger🔥🔥

absolute masterpiece

"Dressed in rage, inside my cage, my pandemonium" is still my favorite part

this shit would feel like at home with the 2000s and 2010s edgy nature AND I FUCKING LOVE IT
