Official Lyrics:
Disc 5, Track 21: Ascension
On wings of an angel forsaken
Our destinies lie

In courage, conviction (through the night)
We find our redemption (find our light)
That we might make our ascension

Burden shouldered
Seven worlds of teardrops falling to the seat
Bitter seeds, these, e're yearning to be

Free!
Holy Mother set us free!
Strike our irons, be our

Solace
Temperance
Virtue
Vengeance

Firmament over us
Fundament 'neath us

Take flight into the starry heavens
On high, celestial procession
Fire on ruby mountaintop
To guide us to the word of god(dess)

Solace
Temperance
Virtue
Ascension!

Guide our spirits ever higher
And higher and higher and higher, higher!

On wings of Faith
We'll rise again

Ware ye the madness
That breeds inside us

Tides of fury flowing, ebbing
Mists of malice whorling, wending
Veil of nothing, never-ending
Dare not seek what lurketh down beneath
No!

An evil hiding from the sun
Blinded, he screameth eschaton immanent

[Bigger_better]

This song is literally a Heavensward main theme but on steroids, i love it

[rolandsauldouze]

All Dion wanted to do is save his father, and he lost everything for it.

[JunkeeVegeta]

3:04 violinists: how hard do you want us to go?

Orchestra conductor: yes..

[vato_]

This game has the most legendary boss battles I’ve ever experienced in a game.

[BeefisGolden]

This song is literally TOO good. It needs to dial it back. How am I supposed to listen to other music after this?

[Virtuosoooooooo]

Only in Final Fantasy can you be fighting one of the strongest dragons in all of gaming, in the middle of space. Epic.

[spazzmaticus]

3:04 I absolutely LOVE that this part sounds like that one part of Dancing Mad where Kefkas theme bleeds into that song, because in both of these cases, these parts just communicate so well the utter madness happening in the minds of Dion and Kefka as a price for their power.

[kindofniceyt]

I never thought lyrics would be so hard to follow and sing along with

[raikagewilliams]

This music is the pure meaning of divine!

[petratyraanderson]

Oh wow 9 minutes went by faster than the time it took for Kupka to lose his *redacted*

[peebs]

i swear this whole boss fight had me playing with my jaw dropped. everything just kept escalating ! I really thought that the Crystal turning into a flower would be the thing that surprised me most BUT WHEN CLIVE AND JOSHUA FUSED TO BECOME IFRIT RISEN AND FIGHT BAHAMUT IN SPACE??? god, the song is beautiful. The boss fight is beautiful.

[TheNazgul]

The music is amazing indeed

But the „On the wings of an angel” parts are just fucking superb

And if in game that very part aligns with Zettaflare, it’s just pure ambrosia on all senses simultaneously

[x]

this fight goes hard but the music goes harder

[swordswinger]

Wait Bahamut was struck through the chest just like he was by Louisoix in FFxiv, that's sick

[matthewpickles]

I would play the entire game again just to experience this battle for the 2nd time

[ponderingForever]

0:00 Not sure why the little "roar" text tickled me so much against the epic music
*roar* :3

[vato_]

Damn I get to enjoy this masterpiece again on PC 😭

[misterwoods]

If you can understand 4% of the lyrics gz you are bethoveen

[kken]

최고의 보스전인진 모르겠지만 시각적으로는 너무 큰 인상을 남겼음
시리즈상으로 바하무트시리즈는 항상 상위 소환수였으므로 전투가 전설 그 자체로 훌륭하게 묘사했음

[Cund]

Which one is better, I wonder? "Ascension", or, "Away"?
