Until Dawn (from "Final Fantasy XIII")

Jorito

4 minutes • January 18, 2019

Even though Final Fantasy XIII isn't a universally loved game, the music is actually pretty great. I wanted to try my hand at a chamber orchestra arrangement with female vocals of the main theme and see if I could add some extra life, delicacy and emotion to it. Couldn't resist adding a sneaky reference to the FFXIII battle music, because that track is so good!

Lyrics

Make my wish come true, let darkness slip aside
Hiding all our hope, mocking what we treasure
Battles we can win, if we believe our souls
Hang in through the dark night
Hang in for the light… till dawn

Cause Fate will not leave you, hate will not heal you
Promise to me, peace shall flow everywhere

Make my wish come true, let darkness fade to light
Show me it’s not over, show me there’s still hope

Make my wish come true, let darkness fade to light
Show me there’s still hope, show me it’s not over
Battles we can win, our struggle lies within
Will we live to meet them?
Will we live to greet… the dawn?
