  • I'm not the best singer or anything, but an attempt was made!
    I first learned about the Nier series from a friend some time ago. I played Replicant after playing Automata, and it swiftly overtook Automata as my favorite story-telling game. Both games offer excellent music and distinctive vocals that are performed in a fabricated tongue known as "Chaos Language." I thus made the decision to make English lyrics for my favorite track from Replicant just for fun.
    The song is intended to be vague as to not spoil the plot of the game.
    Lyrics:
    Hidden so deep
    In the darkest lair
    In veils of shadow
    that conceal our despair
    At the center of it all
    There was a boy
    Turned our savior
    from a white death
    Hidden so deep
    In the darkest lair
    In veils of shadow
    that conceal our despair
    At the center of it all
    There was a boy
    Turned our savior
    from a white death
    So many of our loved ones lost
    A thousand-year-old cost
    The fault of gods unseen by our people
    Regardless of our ancient sins
    He has been
    Our savior
    Our dark prince
    A brother
    Our kind, cursed for all time
    In these spells that were designed
    To confine and stave our demise
    For so long a wait
    Causing haste
    Causing tragedy
    Our grace has had enough of agony.
    Lord of Shadows
    Price of Darkness
    Lord of Shadows
    He will save the princess
    (He will fail the princess)
    Lord of shadows
    He'll save his sister
    (He failed his sister)
    He'll fight for all of mankind!
    (He'll fight and fail all mankind!)
    Hidden so deep
    In the darkest lair
    In veils of shadow
    that conceal our despair
    At the center of it all
    There was a boy
    Turned our savior
    from a white death
    Lord of Shadows
    Price of Darkness
    Lord of Shadows
    He will save the princess
    Lord of shadows
    He'll save his sister
    He'll fight for all of mankind!
    The shells
    Though they rebel
    They belong rightfully to us
    For we’re their true selves
    kept in the dark
    forced to part
    For one thousand years alone
    Known on his throne
    As the shadow-lord

    The part “the shells even thought they rebel ,they belong rightfully to us for we are their true selves kept in the dark forced to part for one thousand years, alone,known on his throne as the shadow lord ” hits extremely hard after you learn what the shades are in realty and who is the so called “shadow lord” and why he looks like the protagonist

    I usually dislike the "English covers" of many Nier songs originally in the chaos language, as I find much of the beauty lies in their vague interpretability due to them being untranslatable, and beauty not needing to be understood to be appreciated, but I can also appreciate the amount of work you put into this. The writing of it acts as a nice narrative foil to Ashes of Dreams, acting like 2 sides of the same coin of grief. This is more angry and self-righteous, patriotic even, whilst Ashes of Dreams favors more the perspective of acceptance, despite the accompanying grief and reminiscence.

    4:23 For this part if you really wanted to go the extra mile. You could've added in the lyrics of the translated Ashes of Dreams, for this part of "Shadowlord" Is the Ashes of Dreams motif.

    Final descent as all of Azathoth's hatred and malice consumes the broken shattered worthless shell
    Previous human now naught but broken. Malice and so begins the corruption transformation of the soulless child into the the spectral shadow of the abyssal void the sword of the nuclear Chaos
    One last struggle One final clash One last chapter of the chronicles of woe last requiem
    In the centre of the ordered universe resides that amorphous blight of nether most confusion idle no longer the supreme archetype Azathoth made the first move
    Your move "human love " all of your efforts are nothing but frivolous naught
    No human remains only the last alters with nothing to hold them back now the true apocalypse begins
    Nothing lives for long
    The broken garden that was only going to NEVERBLOOM the weeping wastelands will devour reality and
    Times running out the only chance to seal the supreme shadow blade of Azathoth's command
    Old friend let us finally close this tragic melancholic ending to the story and hide away the forever cursed chronicles of neversoul of dying dreams It's been so so overly long friend end the agony close the tome

      @@broski4u214 There is no official translation. Whatever they used as a base, it's 100% wrong and the translation is 100% made up.
      Emi Evans owns the rights to the chaos language she invented, and she has never released any lyrics anywhere, meaning that even the untranslated lyrics are 100% made up by someone who guessed how the words might be written based on how they sounded to them.
      So, basically, it's a made up translation based on a made up understanding of made up lyrics of a made up language who only Emi Evans know anything about, so any lyrics you find online, translated or not, is 100% made up, always.
      Also just read the description, "I thus made the decision to make English lyrics for my favorite track from Replicant just for fun."
