    Bow down Knee-sock Lover

    12/11/2013

    Greetings, everyone!
    Bayohne here and I have some pretty cool news to share!

    You see, I was looking through the draft folder of the FFXIV blog and I noticed a post from a mysterious user named "i_love_knee-socks" that was made recently. Investigating further, it seemed to be a post from FFXIV's own Sound Director Masayoshi Soken!

    I figure since he took the time to write it up, it should be okay to post, right? Without further ado...

    ------------------------------------
    Suuup, adventurers! FFXIV Sound Director Masayoshi Soken here.

    Ever since time immemorial (or... September), I've been getting a ton of requests from players about something very important.
    "Hey Knee-socks," they'd yell, "tell us the lyrics in the Titan battle song already!"

    Since I've stayed so quiet, let's just say that there have been a lot of fan, uh, "interpretations" of the lyrics...
    "I don't wanna die, I don't wanna die"
    "Omg landslide, omg landslide"
    "YOSSSHHIIIDDDAAAAA"

    Well I think it's time for you all to learn the TRUE lyrics! Therefore, today I am pulling back the veil of mystery... enjoy!
    ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    Under the Weight
    ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    Wrought from the rock that stands upon old
    With heart of black and a stare that's cold

    Cold are the hands that grasp at your soul
    'Fore the graves are dug and the death knells toll

    Tempered in the flows of the mountain's core
    Where the rage runs red twixt shore and shore

    Shorn from the world 'neath the blazing sun
    Bound to the dark, for the light I shun

    Bow down overdweller (under the weight)
    Bow down overdweller (under the weight)
    Bow down overdweller (under the weight)
    Bow down overdweller (in hell I wait)

    Bow down overdweller (under the weight)
    Bow down overdweller (under the weight)
    Bow down overdweller (under the weight)
    Succumb to the hate that corrupts your fate

    Into the dark of an endless night
    Where the pulse of the land offers no respite

    In spite of the blood that was spilled before
    You whet your blades, you thirst for more

    Now kneel overdweller, your lord commands
    There's no salvation for the sons of man

    The skies will tremble and the earth will quake
    From the crumbling walls no one escapes

    Bow down overdweller (under the weight)
    Bow down overdweller (under the weight)
    Bow down overdweller (under the weight)
    Bow down overdweller (in hell I wait)

    Bow down overdweller (under the weight)
    Bow down overdweller (under the weight)
    Bow down overdweller (under the weight)
    I'll drag you right down to the seventh gate
    ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    I'm sure you've seen the Patch 2.1 trailer, right? Specifically at 7:45:



    Soon you'll be facing off against extreme version of Titan! I know you'll all be pumped when you're fighting him, so be sure to SCREAM and SHOUT along with the music! Don't worry about your neighbors either! TIIIITTAAAAANNNNN!

    Sound Director Masayoshi Soken


    For better reference of the BGM (starting from about 5:31):

    One of the reasons I'll buy the ARR-Soundtrack once it's out. Speaking of which, no release date as of yet?

    Seems they will be adding music with each patch so maybe something around expansion?

    After story mode but before hard mode me and my friend just thought it was screaming. Then when we were blasting it in the car on the way back from school one day we realized "wait, are those words? wtf?!". From that point on I think the titan theme was our favorite primal theme, especially when we realized how they transition the music during the actual fight. Sorry garuda.

    The lyrics are at a frequency that only dogs and dog-like men can hear. This is my favorite primal theme by far.

    My brain always hears "It's Titan, AAAAHHHHH!" during the chorus.

    ^ Rocl said the same thing, Gulk. I think of Strongbad and Brainkreig's "Jugga Jigga Wugga"s.

    Pretty sure that's my favorite track in the game. Might be one or two that rival it but it really is top-notch.

    Titan track (all of it) and Garuda track are why I never ever get bored of them. So glad to have official lyrics. Funny that pretty much everyone who guess lyrics for this ever on OF was like 5% right at best.

    Re-spite is the superior correct pronunciation. Can't say I've ever actually heard anyone say it "ress-pit" when the word was on it's own.

    Spoiler: show
    Of course it was a french word. Shouldn't have put that 'e' there at the end if you wanted us to say "pit".

    Yikes, that would be awfully long.

    Agreed; Garuda has the better introduction, but I think her theme doesn't quite manage to get my blood pumping in the middle of the fight. Titan has the advantage of having an awesome song to accompany being hit in the face with a Mountain Buster and everything exploding, people falling off the ledges and what not.
