Can we talk about that this is the best version of Ashes of Dreams? This 8 minutes version even better than the original Square Enix one because of the intro and outro.
Lyrics, ♪ Once there were trees full of birds, Meadowlands vibrant with flowers; Carefree the songs our children once sang Gilding our minutes and hours. Clouds came and covered the sun, The breath of a baleful unease Turning to ashes flowers in their fields, Silenced the birds in their trees. Hidden so deep in veils of deceit, Imprisoned in twisting spells - Are we the plaything of fiends, or merely the dreams That we're telling ourselves, telling ourselves? ♪ Strive till the phantoms are broken, Fight till the battle is done; The squadrons of night can't conquer the day, Nor shadows extinguish the sun. Stories of danger, fearless attack, Spectres of plague and pain. All of these ghosts of our own delusions come back; And we'll be haunted again, haunted again. For though the storms are over and past, Though the thunder's rage is quieted at last Well this nightmare's laid me down in the rags here to mourn, Here to mourn. The night has left us crippled with grief As we strive to keep alive our belief, But a loss so great, it clouds all our hopes for the dawn. Hidden so deep in veils of deceit, Imprisoned in twisting spells - Are we the plaything of fiends, or merely the dreams That we're telling ourselves, telling ourselves? Stories of danger, fearless attack, Spectres of plague and pain. All of these ghosts of our own delusions are back; Have we been fighting in vain? Fighting in vain?
This song is about the humanity's very long fight against the unavoidable extinction. Damn, they are fighting 1500 years. The last "human", Emil fight much longer.
I actually reposted this video in February last year since when it got taken down a second time. Square Enix striked my channel but it was worth it. They did upload one under the Square Enix topic channel but it’s not exactly the same one so that’s disappointing. Update: apparently the strike didn’t disappear because I need to do something called copyright school. So much for waiting.
The most haunting part about this song is that you can understand the lyrics. If you know why, you know why. English/Japanese is not the language that is actually spoken in the game, every Gestalt speaks a mutated form of the language they knew a thousand years back -- this is why every song in the game is in the Chaos Language, it's the mutations of all the languages over the period of a thousand years. I interpret this only track being in English as the last remnant of humanity's original echoes/cries before they inevitably go extinct due to the relapses in Project Gestalt and leaving behind the whole story of how it all happened (references to Ending E of Drakengard in the first verse) to how it ended (reference to Shadowlord's death in the last two lines marking the end of humanity).
you can make this video a mp3, there are a lot of websites online that can do that. If you want, the square enix music channel uploaded this song, so you don't have to download if you don't want to. It's up to you :)
That is a beautiful song too. But you can't measure the two songs because they are two different settings despite the theme is the same. Unfortunately Nier Replicant has very sad ending instead of Nier which shows the seeds of hope.

Why is it always the last song for every Nier/Darkengard game is the most beautiful and sadness music. Thank you Taro
Absolute masterpiece.. Almost 3 years have passed and I'm still listening to nier OST especially this one ❤️
I love that the Square Enix had enough bravery to remake the original Nier Replicant which had a lot of taboo.
Lyrics,
♪
Once there were trees full of birds,
Meadowlands vibrant with flowers;
Carefree the songs our children once sang
Gilding our minutes and hours.
Clouds came and covered the sun,
The breath of a baleful unease
Turning to ashes flowers in their fields,
Silenced the birds in their trees.
Hidden so deep in veils of deceit,
Imprisoned in twisting spells -
Are we the plaything of fiends, or merely the dreams
That we're telling ourselves, telling ourselves?
♪
Strive till the phantoms are broken,
Fight till the battle is done;
The squadrons of night can't conquer the day,
Nor shadows extinguish the sun.
Stories of danger, fearless attack,
Spectres of plague and pain.
All of these ghosts of our own delusions come back;
And we'll be haunted again, haunted again.
For though the storms are over and past,
Though the thunder's rage is quieted at last
Well this nightmare's laid me down in the rags here to mourn,
Here to mourn.
The night has left us crippled with grief
As we strive to keep alive our belief,
But a loss so great, it clouds all our hopes for the dawn.
Hidden so deep in veils of deceit,
Imprisoned in twisting spells -
Are we the plaything of fiends, or merely the dreams
That we're telling ourselves, telling ourselves?
Stories of danger, fearless attack,
Spectres of plague and pain.
All of these ghosts of our own delusions are back;
Have we been fighting in vain? Fighting in vain?
Thank you! I have a hard time understanding lyrics sometimes so I always appreciate when there are people like you in the comments
lyrics of god holy shit

Thx for reposting it 😉
Is not same person, this is a brazilliam channel
Someone composed real masterpiece. This is so beautiful
the best post-apocalyptic song so far...
Have we been fighting in vain ? Fighting in vain?
Short anwser no. Long anwser, they tried to extend the lifespan of the humanity, but it was futile. :(

The Nier (game) genre is so transcendence.
Eu estive aqui

@@fantasy9164 thanks man!
why does it get taken down? I didn't realize until i lost it on my playlist and was trying to find it earlier today.
@@anitabobertson8640 no idea, but I do know that squaare is pretty notorius for doing this with thier music
@@anitabobertson8640 probably due to copyright
this song is wonderful
Something about this song made me want to put a grammophone static filter over the music, and it did not disapoint
😢
Comento para no olvidar esta canción
Challenge: Try listening to this without feeling sad (impossible)
0:34
Я не плачу🥲

O jogo nn tem tradução oficial, gostaria de ver mais brs conhecendo essa obra prima
Does this life actually matter
Sai daq gringos
better than the weight of the world ngl
That is a beautiful song too. But you can't measure the two songs because they are two different settings despite the theme is the same. Unfortunately Nier Replicant has very sad ending instead of Nier which shows the seeds of hope.
@@bharanginah the weight of the world is just mediocre in general
@@nakeruzeee That is true that the Weight of World is more close to a normal anime music.
True vague hope and voice of no return is MILES better than weight of the world
