(Verse 1)
Crimson skies bleed into the sea
Another sphere, a memory
Yuna's gone, her laughter's flown
Just echoes in this world I've known
Rikku's smile, a fragile light
Against the shadows of the night
Pain still lingers, sharp and deep
Secrets that this island keep
(Pre-Chorus)
Spinning through the gunner's gauge
Another fight upon this stage
Hear the whispers in the pyreflies' gleam
Living out a broken dream
(Chorus)
Altered beast, a hollow shell
Dancing where the angels fell
This masquerade, a bitter art
Tearing my world apart
Underneath the vibrant hues
A darkness that I can't refuse
Final fantasy in shades of grey
Wishing this sorrow would just fade away
(Verse 2)
Gullwings soar on winds of change
But underneath, the hurt remains
Shinra's words, a tempting call
Unraveling the rise and fall
Of ancient powers, lost and cold
Stories that can't be untold
Every ruin, every scar
Reminds me of how broken we are
(Pre-Chorus)
Spinning through the gunner's gauge
Another fight upon this stage
Hear the whispers in the pyreflies' gleam
Living out a broken dream
(Chorus)
Altered beast, a hollow shell
Dancing where the angels fell
This masquerade, a bitter art
Tearing my world apart
Underneath the vibrant hues
A darkness that I can't refuse
Final fantasy in shades of grey
Wishing this sorrow would just fade away
(Bridge)
Maybe in the song I sing
A flicker of hope, a fragile wing
To break these chains, to find release
And finally discover peace
(Chorus)
Altered beast, a hollow shell
Dancing where the angels fell
This masquerade, a bitter art
Tearing my world apart
Underneath the vibrant hues
A darkness that I can't refuse
Final fantasy in shades of grey
Wishing this sorrow would just fade away
(Outro)
Fading light, the journey's end
Will this broken heart ever mend?
Just the ghost of a smile, a silent tear
Lost in this world, year after year.
