The first verse is called the Hoshido verse (or Birthright verse). The second verse called the Nohr verse (or Conquest verse). The third verse is called the Valla verse (or Revelation) verse. The fourth verse is called the Heirs of Fate verse, which is omitted in most covers of this song.
Bloxmon 2470 Yea, cause in dialogue with Shigure he says the fourth verse is very deadly but won’t kill you as it tortured you for eternity as Azura told him.
"I have family in Hoshido. I also have family in Nohr. Even if I were to lose everything... Even if they all despise me... I can't choose to side with one against the other. I simply can't do that. I don't care if I lose everything. This is what I've decided."
When I upgraded to Revelations after doing both Conquest and Birthright I can never go back to either of them, its just too hard to do such a thing especially once you've played the Heirs of Fate DLC.
7:45 I love that you can hear Azura singing in the background! I always imagine this part of the like this: Shigure sings up to this part. Azura appears next to him and they look at each other, crying tears of joy to see each other one last time and sing as loud and as passionately as they can to defeat anankos
Birthright: In the white light, sing with me a song of birthrights and love, dawn breaks Conquest: Embrace the dark, sing with me a song of conquest and faith, night breaks through Revelation: Into the ground, sing with me a song of silence and blood
Neat thing about that is that the first few words of each verse: "In the White Light", "Embrace the Dark" and "Into the Ground" are the names of Chapter 6 in each route respectively
If you love strategy games then I STRONGLY suggest playing FE!! However stick to the Casual difficulty if you do pick one up. Fates does have an option for Pheonix Mode if you're a person that very unsure of themselves at the game first. Warning though you'll grow very attached to some if not all the units so every choice counts if you want them all to not end up RIP.
I'm laughing so hard imagining this, like you have Chrom straight up *belting* out the lyrics, Ryoma deadpanning it all like "I was paid to be here", then Shigure pouring his soul into it, while Corrin films it and Robin just *s i g h*
Yea but I can also see that Fredrick trying to tell Lissa and chrom why Robin is a plegin spy ( I think I spelled that right idk) you have sully cursing out Viron Morgan and kana just talking you have Xander and Ryoma fighting over who is more attractive have Azura and shigure singing corrin is thinking if he chose the right side Garon is still just can't move cause corrin want move and you just have grima there like " why is my past self weird"
So a few things I've noticed: 1) This is the first time I realised that she sings "double-edged blade". I always thought she sung "bullet blade" and thought "is this Fire Emblem or Final Fantasy?" 2) "In my ancient heart dwells madness and pride" makes lot of sense if you realise that this song was written by Anankos. 3) This would actually make a really good title song for World of Light, seeing how neither light nor darkness is good in WOL.
I never heard Shigure's version before this. And then literally I summoned Shigure in FEH. Coincidence? I think not. Probably the best version of the song
JoeDavisEggy Tbh if they made an Easter egg w an Azura of the timeline they would sing it in concert hall ex Birthright Azura would sing end of all Sky Conquest Azura End of all Ground and Revelations Azura the entire thing and Lil Azura The basics and Shigure 4th verse but he would be after the war and could sing without the curse
I was playing one of the Heirs of Fate DLC's, and was blown away when I realized that Shigure was singing this song as the BGM for the battle. It was epic.
@@BakingSoda4U the story was flawed in so many different ways. All 3 pathways (including the Heirs of Fate DLC) could've been done so much better then how it was presented. However Conquest was probably the only pathway that was not to shabby
@@BakingSoda4U Their original script was about 3x the length and detail of the one they actually ended up using for the game due to development constraints. The third of their plans they ended up keeping was mostly incest (Your romantic options: your stepsiblings, your adoptive siblings, your first cousin, some animal people. The non-options (mercifully): your adoptive parents, your actual parents, your blood sister). Granted, no guarantee that it would've been good if they managed to fit in their full plan, but just bear in mind that we got a third of the intended game and it was the *weird* third.
Nathan Byberg For me, it is comparable to One Last You from Xenoblade Chronicles 2. If you don’t know the game, get some knowledge on it before listening to the song, you’d need it.
Anankos knew he was going mad. I can't help but wonder, did he on purpose sire Corrin with a human(Mikoto) in order to have his child stop him when he did go mad? It's the only thing I could think of even after all these years. Anankos literally put in place everything needed to put him down should he have gone mad and feral and try and destroy the world. He wrote a song that is sadly, also a double edged blade to the one singing it(You can see and tell it literally is killing/hurting Azura to use it), a shard of his dragonstone(the pendant), ect.
I would love to have a crossover between the legend of Zelda and Fire Emblem I don’t know about on what kind of game play with that crossover but I could see what the first 2 cut scene would take place
Okuyasu Nijimura I could see link and Chrom training together at the hyrule castle meanwhile princess Zelda and Hinoka drinking tea or something Zelda’s room and suddenly someone or something attack’s the castle
Nathan Byberg As there is nothing human about a Fell Dragon such as myself, culture like this is...interesting. I suppose the wings of despair and breath of ruin will have to take a break.
I've finally found a video with every verse in it! Thank you! I get that the fourth verse isn't really included because the actual song cuts off and Azura stops being the main singer, but still. Thank you.
This is even better, because not only makes sense in having Shigure singing as well, but also proves Matt Mercer can do almost anything... Including singing like an angel. I would definitely want to see this performed live (somehow, I know it's videogame music, but it's just too damn great)
@@AlexanderLingg And I never knew until today that there was a concert where they actually played this song live (granted, it was in Japanese, but they did play it live) for the 25th Anniversary of Fire Emblem. Not only they played this song, but also another personal favorite: Life Returns from Path of Radiance.

@@domotron3598 It's literally two diferent songs and i don't have a problem with it English version talks about Corrin and Anankos realizing that he will go crazy Japanese version is about Anankos and a prophecy about what will happen And honestly i love both equally
I've never heard Shigure's version before (doesn't help I've not played Fates yet) and I didn't know Matt Mercer could sing. I'm so glad I know now, it is heavenly. Thank you for this video.
Teagan Foose i’m sorry to say that fates was such a bad game... this was one of the few good things to come out of it. these games are widely regarded as the worst fire emblem games
@@jamilf9947 sorry for such a late reply, youtube, as usual, never notified me. But yeah, I've heard that Fates is bad. I'm probably not even gonna buy it until I run out of other Fire Emblem games to play and need something new, and that'll likely be a while as I've only played Echoes so far. (that's if I even decide I want it at all)
Fates is far from a perfect game, there’s no denying that, but listening to this, thinking back to pre-release hype, remembering hearing this after beating my first ever Fire Emblem? Unmatched.
I know I’m a little late to this song. But it just makes me cry nowadays. My ex used to sing it to me and she had such a beautiful voice. Unfortunately, she broke up with me for reasons I can’t even tell any of you because I don’t even know myself. Guess I just weren’t good enough for her. Hope she’s happy wherever she is, at the very least I tried.
I hate that Fates’s story could’ve been made indefinitely better if we had to wait until about mid-game to resolve Corrin’s dragon-emphasized anger issues. There were a lot of other problems with it, but that change alone could’ve fixed a lot of things that were wrong with Corrin’s character in general, and maybe made things more deep.
Listening to this in November 2019, on the 2 year anniversary of my evil ex-girlfriend cheating on me. I can relate since I'm still single after 2 years, and at the moment I'm truly lost in thoughts and all alone irl. However, this song fills me with hope that one day I will find new love and the thorn in my heart will become a rose again someday! Someday, somewhere, someone will hear my cry! I will never give up on life! The most inspirational song ever! Any other listeners today besides me?
Such a great song to listen to! So peaceful and calming! Great tune to listen to after a bad day. This song has helped me fight some pain I've gone through fairly recently, and it also given me some hope. This song touched the mind in so many ways, its that good!
I've owned Revelation for so long yet never heard the 3rd Verse... I've heard the first and second verses, and the 4th one a few times, but never the third...
Good thing back in 2016 my mom got me the Special Edition cartridge even though I only asked for Birthright, damn... I can only imagine how much this cartridge will be once Revelation becomes inaccessible
This song will always mean alot to me. From the moment I played Fates back in 2016 till today, I still listen to it. The story was marred by the horrible localization team, sure, but you can clearly see the good foundation it had and where it was planning on going. Seriously love this game and honestly my fav FE game after Blazing Sword. Damn, HoF still makes my eyes water
I don't remember when this was commented but someone said in reference to 3houses Verse 1: golden deer Verse 2: black eagles Verse 3: blue lions Verse 4: Byleth (to an extent) And I havnt been able to stop thinking about it 😭 Especially verse 2 cus it fits all to well
In endless dreams, countless realms collide💙 Hope falls only to rise like the changing tide💙 But all dreams come to an end💙 Just whispers on the waves...💙
So I understand the singer of the final part of this song is a man named Shigure? From what I understand, depending on how it's spelt in Japanese, Shigure can mean, "autumn rain."
Yeah the last part is from Heirs of Fate, a story alongside the main story where only the children of the main characters lived, and need to save the world. Shigure is Azura’s son and inherited her power of song, and thus sings Lost in Thoughts All Alone as well. Also you taught me that Japanese word, 時雨, I’m learning Japanese so that’s very interesting to me. Azura and Shigure have a theme of water to their character, so that meaning makes sense.
HyperLuigi And he has the power akin to the ancient Vallite King I forgot his name (if you remember pls correct me) who was friends with Anankos before he was corrupted
The best song from the Fire Emblem Fates games! I love how beautiful this peace is! This song never gets old! Such a beautiful, peaceful, and relaxing video game piece! Who’s with me on that and who is listening to this in March of 2019 besides me?
i seriously thought it said "you are the ocean's great waves" the first time i heard it. i didn't know the real lyrics until I saw this vid. surely im not the only one.
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 Life is not just filled with happiness with sorrow
I love this song, my favorite in fire emblem, I love the game it’s from, Fates, and the character who sings it, Azura, even more, my 2nd favorites of their kind in the series, barely behind Radiant Dawn and Ike respectively. When I played Fates, I S-Supported Azura and Corrin at first chance I could, they make the perfect relationship in Fates and make Shigure and Kana brother and sister. Perfect in my eyes, and hopefully many others. Edit (8/7/2021): As of now, Three Houses blew me away with how incredible it is, it’s now my favorite FE game, Edge of Dawn is my favorite song, and Edelgard is my favorite character.
Corrin is half dragon, so i think there’s enough of a genetic difference to make this alright, especially in the Middle Ages. “If (they’re) not directly related, (they’re) safe to be dated.” - Boomstick, 2016
It is supposed in the third verse azura sings this verse but then dies and in the fourth verse all of the parents are dead and the kids have to beat ananokos
In truth if you actually read into the verse "you are the oceans Grey 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'll realize that the songs not about corrin,azura,shigure,or anakos. It's about us the player making our choices. From who we side with in chapter 6 to wether we spare or kill Shura in conquest.the path is ours to climb and we must deal with the consequences of our choices. And it's about humanity as a whole our moods changes like the oceans waves do. At first we could be calm and smooth but at a moments notice we'll become raging and destructive. At least that's what I see in the verse. I'll probably never get confirmation but that's what I take it to mean and I feel as if it's a good point.
Whenever I hear this I just think of how screwed over Corrin was in smash. Such an interesting power set turned into a somehow more generic sword character than Lucina, the character MADE TO BE BEGINNER FRIENDLY TO SWORD FIGHTERS
I have never ever played fir emblem or watched any gameplays or cutscene edits of this game. But judging by the music, it must be really beautifull. I look forward to playing it some day when I get a console, without any spoilers.
Yes it does!! It's beautiful. .....someone close to me hates this song... i didn't even know that it was possible... we're not so close anymore... (they also hate Splatoon which broke my heart)
@@nathanbyberg You're right. I have re-accepted that fact thanks to you. ~That sounds cringy, but I can't find another way to say it~ (By the way, I also have someone with autism in my family, but I love him anyways!!)
Fates: the path is yours... Birthright: The light and regret Conquest: darkness and fate Revelation: free me of my prison of madness (Anankos) The new generation: rewrite history for the better
@@bazingazenga1236 He means in ratings. People love bashing this game, despite being better than a lot of the original FE games, although Roy and Alm's lives are certainly good ones still.
It's a overhated game thanks to Nintendo for both rushing the game and making the director remove 500 page of script and Nintendo of America for saboting even more with their crappy imbecilized translation But besides story, Fates is an awesome game
@@onewingedren2228 I love the story too. Definitely better than Binding Blade for example (which imho is too overrated). I think that Fates is one of my favorite FEs
Glad I found this, but...it’s giving me ideas as a fanfic writer. Not only as a theme for my main character mulling over whether to help despite not wanting to take on the title of his ancestor...but also the song his wife sings at his wedding!
It’s weird hearing the conquest version without the energy
I know right? Every time I hear this song, I keep expecting a tempo change to fit the energy of the 2nd verse.
Groans of increasing discomfort
I think that also this version fits very well for Conquest.
Embrace the dark!!! Literally makes me excited
I like that at least changes the beat a bit and makes a difference.
The first verse is called the Hoshido verse (or Birthright verse). The second verse called the Nohr verse (or Conquest verse). The third verse is called the Valla verse (or Revelation) verse. The fourth verse is called the Heirs of Fate verse, which is omitted in most covers of this song.
@JAMS Dream Azura sings in the background tho if you listen carefully
And it's considered to be super duper dangerous to sing. So it could be that if they put it in, they'd be forced to wander in agony.
@@hyruleanate Whoops. Guess I'll vanish from a curse that's really only there to restrict the plot.
@@Bloxmon-dk1ms true lol
Bloxmon 2470 Yea, cause in dialogue with Shigure he says the fourth verse is very deadly but won’t kill you as it tortured you for eternity as Azura told him.
"I have family in Hoshido. I also have family in Nohr. Even if I were to lose everything... Even if they all despise me... I can't choose to side with one against the other. I simply can't do that. I don't care if I lose everything. This is what I've decided."
When I upgraded to Revelations after doing both Conquest and Birthright I can never go back to either of them, its just too hard to do such a thing especially once you've played the Heirs of Fate DLC.
I did Revelation first.

I literally never noticed that until I listened after reading this comment! Still mostly heard Shigure but I was able to faintly hear Azura's voice.
Its probably more like Placebo effect but its pretty sad though
I agree with first part
Birthright: In the white light, sing with me a song of birthrights and love, dawn breaks
Conquest: Embrace the dark, sing with me a song of conquest and faith, night breaks through
Revelation: Into the ground, sing with me a song of silence and blood
I don't want to be *that* guy, but Conquest and Fate.*
into the ground? ಠಿ_ಠ
Neat thing about that is that the first few words of each verse: "In the White Light", "Embrace the Dark" and "Into the Ground" are the names of Chapter 6 in each route respectively
Never played FE but from my understanding that the last verse is sung by Azuras son I love how it starts with just him and slowly becomes both of them

This is even better, because not only makes sense in having Shigure singing as well, but also proves Matt Mercer can do almost anything... Including singing like an angel. I would definitely want to see this performed live (somehow, I know it's videogame music, but it's just too damn great)
@@branlopgar I mean, like...Splatoon concerts were a thing at some point, so why not this?
@@AlexanderLingg And I never knew until today that there was a concert where they actually played this song live (granted, it was in Japanese, but they did play it live) for the 25th Anniversary of Fire Emblem. Not only they played this song, but also another personal favorite: Life Returns from Path of Radiance.
@@branlopgar Ya know, sometimes facts hit really hard. And this is one of these facts, because I wasn't there. But hey, life goes on and I can listen to this wonderful piece whenever I want, so no problem there
Even tho hearing it live would be neat af
Best video game song ever!
Rena Strober did such a fantastic job as Azura on this song!
I think I got the translation for the Japanese Version:
_Swaying and being swayed_ (You are the ocean's gray waves)
_One's thoughts hang in the balance_ (Destined to seek life beyond the shore just out of reach)
_Like ephemeral bubbles down the river stream_ (Yet the waters ever change, flowing like time)
_A hand will open up the path to tomorrow_ (The path is yours to climb)
_Reaching out to the light_ (In the white light, a hand reaches through)
_The infallible silver blade_ (A double-edged blade cuts your heart in two)
_Will awaken those slumbering hopes_ (Waking dreams fade away)
_With a mighty slash_ (Embrace the brand new day)
_A song that brings peace to the world_ (Sing with me a song of Birthrights and Love)
_Scatters a soft light from a crystal_ (The light scatters to the sky above)
_Like a sunrise that drives away the darkness_ (Dawn breaks through the gloom, white as a bone)
_One's Thoughts_ (Lost in Thoughts All Alone)
_Swaying and being swayed_ (You are the ocean's gray waves)
_One's thoughts hang in the balance_ (Destined to seek life beyond the shore just out of reach)
_Like ephemeral bubbles down the river stream_ (Yet the waters ever change, flowing like time)
_That hand will open up the path to tomorrow_ (The path is yours to climb)
_On a path to darkness_ (Embrace the dark, you call a home)
_Toward an empty white throne_ (Gaze upon an empty white throne)
_One will deceive them all_ (A legacy of lies)
_By spinning a false tale_ (A familiar disguise)
_A dull obsidian seeps across the sky_ (Sing with me a song, of Conquest and Fate, the black pillar cracks beneath its weight)
_Like a sunset that drives away the light_ (Night breaks through the day, hard as a stone)
_One's Thoughts_ (Lost in Thoughts All Alone)
_No matter which path is chosen_ (The path you walk on belongs to destiny, just let it flow)
_They will all surely lead to smiles and grief, regrets and dreams_ (All of your joy and your pain will fall like the tide, let it flow)
_One will wander, worn out by indecision and uncertainly in their future_ (Life is not just filled with happiness, nor sorrow)
_There will surely be roses that cut them along the way_ (Even the thorn in your heart, in time it may become a rose)
_Sinking into a ravine_ (A burdened heart, sinks into the ground)
_The wandering heart will drift about_ (A veil falls away without a sound, not day nor night, wrong nor right)
_Wishing a childish wish_ (For truth and peace, you fight!)
_That when the descent bound by blood_ (Sing with me a song of Silence and Blood)
_Finishes off this corpse buried deep within madness_ (The rain falls but can't wash away the mud)
_That someone is clearly made aware of out thoughts_ (Within my ancient heart dwells, madness and pride)
_As if it were reflected upon the water's surface_ (Can no one hear my cry?!)
_Swaying and being swayed_ (You are the ocean's gray waves)
_One's Thoughts hang in the balance_ (Destined to seek life beyond the shore just out of reach)
_Like ephemeral bubbles down the river stream_ (Yet the waters ever change, flowing like time)
_Those hands will open up the way to tomorrow_ (The path is yours to climb)
_Being swayed, and swaying_ (You are the ocean's gray waves)
It's always interesting to see how different Japanese translations are from what's actually written/said
@@domotron3598 It's literally two diferent songs and i don't have a problem with it
English version talks about Corrin and Anankos realizing that he will go crazy
Japanese version is about Anankos and a prophecy about what will happen
And honestly i love both equally
You know... in the fourth verse, when the chorus begins Azura comes in as a backup singer, listen closely at 7:50
I can hear it in the game
Hearing them all together really ties all the stories together
Nobody:
Absolutely Nobody:
No one ever in mankind:
Ganon: *Greaaehgu*
LOL!
Garon: Oh thank you. I thought I was the only one.
Groans of increasing discomfort
Can NOT get over the fact that's Matt Mercer...
I’ve never played Fire Emblem Fates, but I love this song so much. It’s just so calming and pretty
You should play it fire emblem fates is the funniest game I have played.
@brendagordon1277 I don't think it was supposed to be funny, but some of the dialogue and timing are just downright hilarious.
I've never heard Shigure's version before (doesn't help I've not played Fates yet) and I didn't know Matt Mercer could sing.
I'm so glad I know now, it is heavenly. Thank you for this video.
My thoughts exactly
Teagan Foose i’m sorry to say that fates was such a bad game... this was one of the few good things to come out of it. these games are widely regarded as the worst fire emblem games
@@jamilf9947 sorry for such a late reply, youtube, as usual, never notified me.
But yeah, I've heard that Fates is bad. I'm probably not even gonna buy it until I run out of other Fire Emblem games to play and need something new, and that'll likely be a while as I've only played Echoes so far. (that's if I even decide I want it at all)
@@Fireheart04 ...it's really not as bad as people make it out to be. It's no Awakening, but it doesn't deserve any of the shit people throw at it.
@@LanceKairan Yeah, It definitely has it's flaws but I still found it enjoyable. I'd even say I love it, and I'm glad I bought it
this song rearranged my intestines 10/10
what
This song may revive my love for my 3DS
Definitely!
Fates is far from a perfect game, there’s no denying that, but listening to this, thinking back to pre-release hype, remembering hearing this after beating my first ever Fire Emblem? Unmatched.
I know I’m a little late to this song. But it just makes me cry nowadays. My ex used to sing it to me and she had such a beautiful voice.
Unfortunately, she broke up with me for reasons I can’t even tell any of you because I don’t even know myself. Guess I just weren’t good enough for her. Hope she’s happy wherever she is, at the very least I tried.
This song is so soothing that it’s insane. I love it so much
Same here!
Garon disliked this
And takumi
And Anankos in the future.
Dylan Shelly always blame takumi!
#blametakumi
But why did you dislike it huh?
This song means a lot to me... it will always be remembered deep down in my soul and heart.
I swear to God this song gives me actual chills thats just how much of a banger it is
Azura has a great singing voice.
Beautiful song, idk why it’s so underrated
Probably because the game it’s from is the most decisive game in the series
True, Fates was incredibly controversial
Birthright- Blue Lion Route
Conquest- Black Eagle Route
Revelation- Golden Deer Route
Shigure’s version- Silver Wind/Church Route
Yeah honestly the verses match each faction to named
I'd switch BL and GD but this works too.
I get it
Violet Vita
Not silver wind, Silver Snow.
@@kojideer1918 i agree
I hate that Fates’s story could’ve been made indefinitely better if we had to wait until about mid-game to resolve Corrin’s dragon-emphasized anger issues. There were a lot of other problems with it, but that change alone could’ve fixed a lot of things that were wrong with Corrin’s character in general, and maybe made things more deep.
I would’ve wanted that too, I want to be liked by people, but most would chose the female version anyways 😔
Fates had its good moments, and personally this is one of those.
I don’t know why buts all 4 versions make me tear up
Listening to this in November 2019, on the 2 year anniversary of my evil ex-girlfriend cheating on me. I can relate since I'm still single after 2 years, and at the moment I'm truly lost in thoughts and all alone irl. However, this song fills me with hope that one day I will find new love and the thorn in my heart will become a rose again someday! Someday, somewhere, someone will hear my cry! I will never give up on life! The most inspirational song ever! Any other listeners today besides me?
Nathan Byberg yes. This song is truly inspiring
~Kimiko_Playz~: Definitely. Respect to you! ✊👊
I played both birthright and conquest and lost both of the game cards so this is a nostalgia trip
It broke my heart remembering my whole squad
Along with the second death scene
R.I.P asura
You will be missed
Aww I feel bad :’(
You still have to play revelations
Such a great song to listen to! So peaceful and calming! Great tune to listen to after a bad day. This song has helped me fight some pain I've gone through fairly recently, and it also given me some hope. This song touched the mind in so many ways, its that good!
Nathan Byberg SAME
bestway125: Respect dude! 👊✊
"Sing with me one last time, for lights sacrifice"
Is definitely the most powerful sing with me
I've owned Revelation for so long yet never heard the 3rd Verse... I've heard the first and second verses, and the 4th one a few times, but never the third...
Have to get to the final battle in Revelations in order to hear it. Hope that helps you!
Nathan Byberg
That explains it, I never pay attention to background music
@@seaunicorn.3.888: It's my pleasure to help! From one fellow FE Fates fan to another!
The closure of the 3DS eShop will affect what is referred to at 4:42 onward. I demand a Nintendo Switch version.
Good thing back in 2016 my mom got me the Special Edition cartridge even though I only asked for Birthright, damn... I can only imagine how much this cartridge will be once Revelation becomes inaccessible
@@commando7706 Hundreds and hundreds of dollars for sure
@@N_IRL maybe thousands, check out eBay ;-;
God I love emulators.
This song will always mean alot to me. From the moment I played Fates back in 2016 till today, I still listen to it. The story was marred by the horrible localization team, sure, but you can clearly see the good foundation it had and where it was planning on going.
Seriously love this game and honestly my fav FE game after Blazing Sword. Damn, HoF still makes my eyes water
I don't remember when this was commented but someone said in reference to 3houses
Verse 1: golden deer
Verse 2: black eagles
Verse 3: blue lions
Verse 4: Byleth (to an extent)
And I havnt been able to stop thinking about it 😭
Especially verse 2 cus it fits all to well
This song is still amazing in July 2019! So inspirational! Any other listeners?
The Sonic Ray: Respect to you my friend!

I believe you already know who I am. XD
Fell Vessel Robin Grima: Most certainly! My great friend and fellow Fire Emblem fan
Yep, and it's Jan 2020
@@purplepepper2503: Respect dude!
If only I had a voice as angelic as Azura’s..
Someday my good friend, someone will hear your cry!
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........
Beautifully done!
Embrace the dark you call a home💙
Gaze upon an empty white throne💙
A legacy of lies💙
A familiar disguise...💙
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...💙
In endless dreams, countless realms collide💙
Hope falls only to rise like the changing tide💙
But all dreams come to an end💙
Just whispers on the waves...💙
Nathan Byberg aww thank you
So I understand the singer of the final part of this song is a man named Shigure? From what I understand, depending on how it's spelt in Japanese, Shigure can mean, "autumn rain."
Dragonpit Shigure is azura's son
Dragonpit It also is Matthew Mercer, aka Chrom. And Ryoma.
Yeah the last part is from Heirs of Fate, a story alongside the main story where only the children of the main characters lived, and need to save the world. Shigure is Azura’s son and inherited her power of song, and thus sings Lost in Thoughts All Alone as well.
Also you taught me that Japanese word, 時雨, I’m learning Japanese so that’s very interesting to me. Azura and Shigure have a theme of water to their character, so that meaning makes sense.
The Firesword Dragon And Azama
HyperLuigi And he has the power akin to the ancient Vallite King I forgot his name (if you remember pls correct me) who was friends with Anankos before he was corrupted
The best song from the Fire Emblem Fates games! I love how beautiful this peace is! This song never gets old! Such a beautiful, peaceful, and relaxing video game piece! Who’s with me on that and who is listening to this in March of 2019 besides me?
Nathan Byberg I’m with you, Fates Brother!
Max Richards: Respect to you my friend! ✊👊
You‘re right, this is one of the few songs I still listen to although I already know it for so long
Mikasa Ackermann: A song like this never gets old! It is not only beautiful, but inspirational as well! Thanks for the reply dude! Respect! ✊👊
I don't get why people don't like this song. I get it plays a lot throughout the game, but it's a good and catchy song.
Yay! Thank you!
Awesome video, song, and emotional game. :)
This song is so soothing. I love it.
Rena Strober is amazing
such beautiful music... i could listen to it all day..
Yeah I know
coming back for my yearly listen 🫶 5 years in a row
So beautiful
i seriously thought it said "you are the ocean's great waves" the first time i heard it. i didn't know the real lyrics until I saw this vid. surely im not the only one.
This is so beatiful I almost cried...
It's been years since I last played FE Fates and Azura's voice still has a spell on me.
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
Life is not just filled with happiness with sorrow
Someone should make a version of this song with all four verses in
I loved this song years ago and I literally bought both versions of the game to hear it all
My daughter falls asleep with this :)
Hearing this song always makes me want to bust this game out and then I realize that I don't have time to dive in again.
7:45 goosebumps.
I love this song, my favorite in fire emblem, I love the game it’s from, Fates, and the character who sings it, Azura, even more, my 2nd favorites of their kind in the series, barely behind Radiant Dawn and Ike respectively.
When I played Fates, I S-Supported Azura and Corrin at first chance I could, they make the perfect relationship in Fates and make Shigure and Kana brother and sister. Perfect in my eyes, and hopefully many others.
Edit (8/7/2021): As of now, Three Houses blew me away with how incredible it is, it’s now my favorite FE game, Edge of Dawn is my favorite song, and Edelgard is my favorite character.
This is my favorite too,sometimes I end up singing it without knowing.
Except when you consider Azura is actually Corrins cousin, play hidden truths 1 and 2.
Corrin is half dragon, so i think there’s enough of a genetic difference to make this alright, especially in the Middle Ages.
“If (they’re) not directly related, (they’re) safe to be dated.”
- Boomstick, 2016
I agree with you Max. That is exactly what I did on my first Revelations route!
Well… if I’m correct Corrin and Azura aren’t cousins now… so…
Why does the 3rd and 4th verse always strike a chord with me when I here it
It is supposed in the third verse azura sings this verse but then dies and in the fourth verse all of the parents are dead and the kids have to beat ananokos
Hi Cloud! How are you after all of this time?
Thanks for this!
You are very welcome. I think I love this game a bit too much :O
Also hello fellow Nohrian :)
I'm so late but your name gives me life
1:53 those Super Mario Galaxy vibes
The last chore when they sing together ghaa i loooove ittt
The most calming song ive ever heard tbh
In truth if you actually read into the verse "you are the oceans Grey 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'll realize that the songs not about corrin,azura,shigure,or anakos. It's about us the player making our choices. From who we side with in chapter 6 to wether we spare or kill Shura in conquest.the path is ours to climb and we must deal with the consequences of our choices. And it's about humanity as a whole our moods changes like the oceans waves do. At first we could be calm and smooth but at a moments notice we'll become raging and destructive. At least that's what I see in the verse. I'll probably never get confirmation but that's what I take it to mean and I feel as if it's a good point.
„Sing with me one last time“ my favorite part of the song.
Whenever I hear this I just think of how screwed over Corrin was in smash. Such an interesting power set turned into a somehow more generic sword character than Lucina, the character MADE TO BE BEGINNER FRIENDLY TO SWORD FIGHTERS
I want this to be played at my funeral
No joke or anything, I was real.
What were you thinking? Lol
With my luck that would not happen to me even I did request it
I have never ever played fir emblem or watched any gameplays or cutscene edits of this game. But judging by the music, it must be really beautifull. I look forward to playing it some day when I get a console, without any spoilers.
Thank you Matt Mercer
CAN NO ONE HEAR MY CRY?!
noone can cuz were all
lost in thoughts all alone

I think Fates is the most underrated FE of the whole series.
Its the second highest grossing game in the series, dafuq you talking about
@@bazingazenga1236 LOL
@@bazingazenga1236 He means in ratings. People love bashing this game, despite being better than a lot of the original FE games, although Roy and Alm's lives are certainly good ones still.
It's a overhated game thanks to Nintendo for both rushing the game and making the director remove 500 page of script and Nintendo of America for saboting even more with their crappy imbecilized translation
But besides story, Fates is an awesome game
@@onewingedren2228 I love the story too. Definitely better than Binding Blade for example (which imho is too overrated). I think that Fates is one of my favorite FEs

Damn straight my friend! Only freaking way to listen it!
