When the strings come in at the beginning I feel like crying. When the small break the song happens I start to sniffle. When the strings come back for the reprise my eyes start to water. When the Revelation lyrics begin I just start sobbing.
Such a brutal, irrational world we live in. Some believe copyright, token of Nintendo's power, is necessary to maintain order, but they are wrong, teacher: Copyright is to blame.
You are the ocean's gray waves Destined to seek life beyond the shore, just out of reach Yet the waters ever change, flowing like time The path is yours to climb In the white light, a hand reaches through A double edged blade cuts your heart in two Waking dreams fade away Embrace the brand new day Sing with me a song of Birthrights and love The light scatters to the sky above Dawn breaks through the gloom, white as a bone Lost in thoughts all alone You are the ocean's gray waves Destined to seek life beyond the shore, just out of reach Yet the waters ever change, flowing like time The path is yours to climb Embrace the dark you call a home Gaze upon an empty white throne A legacy of lies A familiar disguise Sing with me a song of Conquest and fate The black pillar cracks beneath its weight Night breaks through the day, hard as a stone Lost in thoughts all alone The path you walk on belongs to destiny, just let it flow All of your joy and your pain will fall like the tide, let it flow Life is not just filled with happniess nor sorrow Even the thorn in your heart, in time in may become a rose A burdened heart sinks into the ground A veil falls away without a sound Not day nor night Wrong nor right, for truth and peace you fight Sing with me a song of silence and blood The rain falls, but can't wash away the mud Within my ancient heart dwells madness and pride, can no one hear my cry? You are the ocean's gray waves Destined to seek life beyond the shore, just out of reach Yet the waters ever change, flowing like time The path is yours to climb You are the ocean's gray waves
That song is just so beautiful. [Sniffs] Sorry. I just get so emotional when I hear songs like this. But Azura's voice is just so calming. It's definitely making me feel stronger. Like it's upgrading my strength somehow.
In a way I feel identified with parts of this song. Even when I haven’t played the game, nor any fire emblem game, I connect a lot with mood and messages of this song. I listen to this when I tend to feel deeply sad, don’t know if it’s good or bad, but it at least allows me to unburden
I, thankfully was able to purchase a used copy of Birthright, and from there, purchase Conquest and Revelation before the E-Shop closed for the 3DS. Now I can enjoy stuff like this.
What amazing music (and whole soundtrack in general). It is just a shame it was wasted on a sub-par game with terrible writing that lies in the shadows of both FE Awakening before it and FE Three Houses after it (and even FE Echoes to a certain degree). I truly believe now that Azura should have been the protagonist of Fates, not Corrin
