Next, here are the lyrics for the Final Fantasy XVI song “Away.”
O Prometheus! Ephimetheus
Hollos out your noble name!
O Prometheus! Ephimetheus
Clamors for your stolen flame!Fiery bonds
Severed atwain
Innocence lost
Buried in broken faithA Stormhead fills the horizon
Foul shadows whispering ruin
Yet from this darkness arises
The burning light of a new endFar from heaven, heaven flows
Down and down on weary wings borne
Carried lower, deep below, from light to shadow
Light to shadow!Circled in the strife of an empyreal catastrophe
Whorls of ire fan infernal flames on high!
Fire in the night
A scarlet beacon in the sky
Look up to the heavens
The firmament reddens
Throw open your wings and fly!Away!
Away!
Away!A stormhead fills the horizon
Foul shadows whispering ruinFar from heaven flown
Dry your eyes and let your wings fold
From the dark light be reborn and rise from shadow
Rise from shadow!Circled in the strife of an empyrean catastrophe
Tongues of fire incandescent oaths decry!
Shadows in the night
A swirling cyclone in the sky
Look down to the nether
Bid farewell forever
Throw open your wings and fly!Away!
Away!
Away!
