Lyrics for Barnabas and Odin's theme in FFXVI.
Much like Garuda's, the lyrics aren't as extensive as the other pieces in the score.

“Don’t tell me you are tired, Mythos!
Your stubborn defiance has stirred my long-becalmed heart. Filling it with a… joy that I have not known for generations. I had thought the tantalizing kiss of self-indulgence a dream forever out of reach.
And now that its sweet ruin courses through my veins I shall not be quick to relinquish it.
Show me your worth, Mythos…
*THAT* *I* *MIGHT* *REVEL* *IN* *IT!”*

[@lolzism1]

Fucking madman who's lived centuries and didn't have a real fight for nearly as long.... until someone actually began to make him *feel the adrenaline rush*.
For only a fleeting moment, Barnabus got to enjoy having a REAL fight.

[@Indigo8899]

This theme always intimidates every time you hear it cause of how powerful and dangerous Barnabas was and when this played shit went down but at the same time, it's just freakin glorious

[@Izanagi-Arsene]

The part that is truly terrifying is he held back in his boss battle, he did let loose a bit near the end but only ever remained semi primed at all points. If he didn't hold back, it'd only take one swing of his sword to end clive's hopes and dreams.

[@RagnaCloud13]

Fun fact: The Riddle refers to 'Der Ritter' which means The Knight

[@LeoDragoGR]

“My heart…….. IT SOARSSSSSS! As the day I won Ashhhhhh!!”

[@SomnusShinra]

Odin in XVI is an incredible love letter to Vergil from DMC. The themes, the character design, the mechanics, but the single one thing that steals the show is his boss fight at the top of the tower... such an amazing boss fight...

[@DaedalusFenisci]

2:13 you really edited it like our boy Barnabas is going ham singing his own theme lmao, nice

[@YaseiYakul]

Glad you noticed! Especially at 2:19 with his arm movements syncing with the music.

[@AMTRAX]

That ostenato sounds so much like Mars The Bringer of War, and I love it

[@Radagon543]

Yeah, it somewhat sounds like the Living Failures from Bloodborne. They both are clearly inspired by that piece.

[@MuhammadDipanegara]

OMG it's the guy with a pocket lint and 13 gil

[@blackh9604]

This scene though 2:08 Scared the shit out of me fr
I love how heroic his theme sounds at times!

[@beefy5102]

2:26 the inflection of this line reminds of the opening from Dexter's Laboratory

[@marvolom787]

This is such a good video. Absolutelly loved the cut From Shiva's eyes to Odin's Blade manifesting from darkness

[@Capothekid]

Still my favorite Eikon Battle theme.

[@tommarsdon5644]

This is just perfect, say they are the lyrics but they don't apear untill the very end, and when they apear, you use the little odin symbol bouncing around to track the lyrics, absolutely brilliant!

[@salivatinggreed4219]

The editing in this is great and matched along with the beat and intensity of these twos encounters. Well done

[@cofitv3162]

Man thank you for making these... they are absolutely amazing! I love them they are making the masterpiece soundtrack even more beautiful

[@krystal7916]

I absolutely love this piece. My favorite on the ost of absolutel masterpieces

[@rickeyleon3812]

The soundtrack is composed by God 🤯

[@irithider1078]

That's Masayoshi Soken for you

[@AlejandroRodriguez-cy8ee]

Its not just me right? It sounds awesome but also very Pirate of the Catriona type of music

[@loserdiavolo6251]

I dont understand why i hear
2:07 Weilder of Darkness
2:10 its Stain, on 10 feet told, I am Weilder of darkness lts, Its me, Its me. Darkness Comes!
2:34 weidler of darkness

[@TrailsofZemuria]

Cool video but I can't help but wonder why you're using the badly ripped lower quality versions of the music in these videos when the official soundtrack came out a long time ago. They're beyond better sound quality (where there are no sound dips for example), there are also extensions or add-ons to the music that aren't played in the games. I feel like it holds back the quality of the videos I've seen posted for these quite significantly despite it being really edited in a cool way. It's a shame.

[@YaseiYakul]

My PC doesn't have a disc drive so I can't rip them directly from there, I got the soundtrack a while back and I'm limited to what I can find online as far as the videos go, technical limitations on my part really. However as soon as someone uploads the CD quality one, I'll compile all of them in a single video, though that might take a looooong time, so I'm working with what I have.

[@isjustjeremytv]

Can’t help but wonder why you wrote this lengthy backhanded comment when you could just…go listen to those versions.

[@TrailsofZemuria]

@@isjustjeremytv Cause I like to ask questions.
