LYRICS Heart of ember, autumntide Cooling swiftly, bleeding light Smoldering softly, biding time Marching forward, left behind Fire as shadows clash Forgotten footfalls engraved in ash Fire will be repaid 'Fore our echoes begin to fade Fade away Fade away Heart of ember, autumntide Burning brightly, hot and white Kindred severed neverwhere Sorrow's silence, we needn't bear Stories sown along the way Tales of loss and firе and faith Dys an sohm in / Our slumber disturbed Rohs an kyn ala na / All my brothers wakе Mah Morn / Death Comes Eehl an sohm in / Our peace sacrificed Sahl djahs afah an / Vengeance will be ours Storm of blood Born from blood Of our fallen brothers Thunder stilled, oaths fulfilled Now we yearn for freedom! You might also like Close In The Distance Born in blood (Still we forge ahead) Stained in red (Unto tomorrow) Bound by blood (So we forge ahead) Purpose fed (Unto tomorrow, bring us tomorrow) Courage thrives (Ever forge ahead) Hand in hand (Unto tomorrow, welcome tomorrow) Souls aligned (That we forge ahead) Forge ahead (Yeah, we forge ahead, yeah, we forge ahead) Forward Our song of hope She dances on the wind Higher, o' higher E'er our hearts endure And remain forever strong Standing tall through the dark do we carry on On wings of hope You rise up through the night Higher, oh higher Carrying our song Cradled fast within your arms That its chorus might ring for all One brings shadow, one brings light Two toned echoes tumbling through time Tumbling down to the never! Every step we take Echoes in our wake Winding 'round our fate To forge ahead Should we lose our way Tire of all this pain We won't be afraid To forge ahead Fearless hearts ablaze (When the world comes tumbling down) No more time to waste (Know I'll be there) No, it's not too late (Though our fleeting moment has gone) To forge ahead (You're not--you're not alone YEAH) As we ride again (As you turn your eyes to the stars) To another end (Oh, I'll be there) Where it all begins (With my chorus guiding you) Forge ahead (Forge ahead)
Same from me. I currently am out of the loop but I miss the game a lot and this video randomly showed up on my Google feed. Now I click it every time it's in RU-vid's watch next suggestions (and it's there a lot). And I also ended up picking up your Personified album haha
Nor when you sing along while reading the lyrics in the description that she also added to promote "You might also like Close in the Distance" there too.
When Shtola appeared on screen, I had just finished the thought "Y'shtola is so mommy" when "M O M M Y" appeared on the screen and I laughed harder than I should have Also Lollia looks absolutely ethereal here
OK what is it with Footfalls covers giving me goosebumps recently?! This is so beautiful, the group looks like they're having fun (especially 8-bit Drummer) and the cosplay you and Suna are sporting are wonderful! Great job!
Great job! You struck a good balance of staying true to the source material while still putting your own style on it. Also, mommy popping up on the screen with Y'Shtola absolutely sent me. Keep it up.
Omg, I love all of your FFXIV stuff. I remember when you posted your first FFXIV cover, I was so surprised. You and everyone else absolutely nailed this!! Thanks for this wonderful Christmas present :D
Merry Christmas, Lollia! Many thanks to you and the rest of the team for blessing us with this gift of epicness! Especially that last key change toward the end. LOVE IT!!! 🌲🔥👏
I don't see any other comment about it so I'm gonna have to be the one to say something.... The bit where it showed Y'shtola and "Mommy" popped up... I saw that.
What an incredible team coming together to cover this! Amazing work by all involved - the Sharlayan part especially gave me chills even more than the original. Your vocal talents never fail to impress, and a song like this really shows how vast your range is!
Your voice is perfectly suited to this song. Close in the Distance was fantastic but this is on another level. I also love how you and your instrumental collabs fused rock and classical elements to really capture the essence of this track. Your voice is simultaneously capable of hitting those pure, high notes from the Sharlayan section and the rock leaning elements of the Stormblood and Shadowbringers themes. You've brought back the feeling of those electrically exciting months waiting for Endwalker, and that honestly means a stupid amount to me because I love that feeling. Thank you for this.
First time I've ever used super thanks. I burnt out on playing ffxiv a few months ago, but I've played since heavenward. There is no experience like watching a grand story come to an end, and this song makes me feel a little bit of that every time. Thanks for the wonderful cover.
Man, this rocks! Anyone wanting to sync this with FamilyJules' rendition to get that sick harmony of Jules', Adriana's, and Lollia's vocals, as well as Richaad's and Jules' guitarwork, it's about 1.6 seconds on *this* version before you start his, as there's a bit of a delay.
This is genuinely one of the best covers that I have heard of this piece of music. Everything comes together, everything brings back the memories of my first playthrough of Endwalker. Please, keep singing, keep growing, and may you ever walk in the light of the crystal.
Did Endwalker relaunch itself or is it just me, feeling the hype energy all over again for how the long journey we've all gone through, From ARR to Shadowbringers to the Conclusion of a long Journey we still forge ahead towards too.
I teared up by the end. The raw emotion this piece brings out. This was done so well, and the thought that people have come together so much over it.. literally brings a tear to my eye.
8bit drummer is amazing when it comes to retro gaming covers, anime and anything Nintendo. I've been following him for a while and this cover takes the cake even though I haven't played FFiv but this definitely has some FF vibes for sure. You Lollia did an amazing job with this song and looking beautiful doing it🤗🙏❤️🌹
I can't be the only person who adores this hair color on her right? She's so pretty with white hair! Like, it's such a flattering color on her with the pinks in her makeup... Keep being beautiful Lollia and amazing job on this song! Both you and all the other artists did amazing!
Thanks RU-vid for bringing me here, this cover is amazing :). You and the team did a fantastic job! I think that using guitar + violin (like Falcom composers/JDK) is a powerful combo, I like it. Happy holidays!
Enjoyed it. My favorite part of the original Song is the "Song of Hope" part, you did a good job. ^^ Edit: And by "you" of course I mean everybody participating on that piece of art. :)
Man, this composition is so epic to begin with. It's so cool to see others just build on the foundation and add their own flair. No matter what, the transition from Stormblood to Shadowbringers will always send chills down my spine. Who would have thought electric guitar into violins would be such a nice change of pace? Well done and well met, you brave little sparks!
holy fuck! Im blown away, you got all these talents together. Each and everyone throughtout the vid was simple incredible! Xmas truly was good to me this year! thank you!
A TEST OF YOUR VOCALS, THEN!!! HA!!!!! Your must have burnt your candle with the brightest flame to match this tune. The Conflagration of your voice burns bright enough to scorch the very heavens.
I spent the whole video just going "have we ever seen Lollia's forehead before?" fr she looks good with the Venat hairstyle. also 10/10 on the mommy over y'shtola
As a newbie to FFXIV I love the sound track so much I was a little sceptical starting this video but man u knocked this song out of the park WELL DONE!
This was very well put together and arranged, plus I can see that all of you had a lot of fun & satisfaction completing your respective parts. It all shines throughout the song.
Wonderful cover! I love your FFXIV stuff and everyone did so great here. It's extra nice when you cover songs originally by male singers because it makes it easier for me to sing along 😆 Also, I snorted when it got to Y'shtola's caption. Wasn't expecting that lol
An absolutely amazing cover of Footfalls! Everyone was absolutely on point! Mad props to you all and I'm gonna check out whatever else you have since this is my first time ever seeing your page! Keep it up!
What a timing. I'm in the middle of playing Endwalker, about to reach the end. This cover motivates me even more. Might be one of my favourite covers of this song yet! Gotta love 8bitdrummer just having one heck of a time.
