It's ridiculous how well a song from Fire Emblem Fates fits into Skyward Sword's main theme. It helps that they're in the same key I guess. Just awesome!

+TheNintenBits It passes off as a channel dedicating to ripping video game music, posting it with the game logo and official information, yet it's not actually the song, but some remix.

Lyrics, in case anyone wants it (after so long, but oh well): 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 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 Embrace the dark you call a home, Gaze upon an empty, white throne A legacy of lies, A familiar disguise Sing with me a song of conquest and fate The black pillar cracks beneath its weight Night breaks through the day, hard as a stone Lost in thoughts all alone The path you walk on belongs to destiny, just let it flow All of your joy and your pain will fall like the tide, let it flow Life is not just filled with happiness, nor sorrow Even the thorn in your heart, in time it may become a rose 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 Sing with me a song of silence and blood The rain falls, but can't wash away the mud Within my ancient heart dwells madness and pride Can no one hear my cry 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 You are the ocean's gray waves
