Destiny 2 OST - Journey (extended, with lyrics)

[@seriouslyblack1289]

Tried to find out the missing lines by listening and then checking Latin dicitonaries. First one around 5:22 could be "vita desere", which would translate to "life has forsaken us". That one might fit the Red War Campaign, but no guarantee. It should be the same around 6:05, but it is somehow shortened or changed to fit the melody here. Second one around 5:55 should be "fortitudo et fides aeternam", might refer to fortitude and faith being eternal... No guarantees, but I had to come up with some solution as 3 years later I still can't find the lines anywhere.

[@Mr-Moron]

So the song is essentially saying that although life has forsaken us, we still hold faith for a better future? That's a pretty good message.

[@seriouslyblack1289]

@@Mr-Moron that would kinda fit the Red War campaign. But as I said, no guatantee on that. I just sat down, listening to it over and over again while looking through a Latin dictionary

[@vtheman1850]

The Latin in this is very broken and grammatically incorrect, you did very well approximating what they probably meant to say.

[@seriouslyblack1289]

@@vtheman1850 thanks. Yeah, I noticed that it's not entirely correct. I just guessed as best as I could, I couldn't stand having a gap in my memorisation of the text that couldn't be found anywhere in the depths of the internet. I took Latin classes from class 6-12 so I do have some understanding of what may be possible or not, but I'm no expert either. But we might never know if I'm correct or what the real text was

When your at the top of the cliff and the music just drops right there your just beaten down and just see the city on fire goosebumps and sadness

[@SourPatchMoth]

It was one of many times this game has made me cry with it's pure beauty and it's own storytelling within the music. It creates such volitial emotions that I could consider it classical, and should be studied. Maybe I read too far into the music but *god damn*

[@orinbaglo1572]

it really made you feel the loss, because remember, we dont get to see anyone else in the last city other than the regular cookie-cutter line NPC's in the tower.

[@BlackLionRampant]

I imagine that the final boss theme against the Witness will have bits of Journey in it, just to mark how far we've come. I have a strong feeling I will be fighting back tears.

[@cellybeans6901]

This comment hurt my heart. ❤

[@JoshuaArrike]

It will be the finale of our own story i'd think, but that doesnt mean we should lie down and take it. No, we sure as hell will show the Witness what it truly means to become Legend.

[@bfedezl2018]

It did

[@adarshkamoda9183]

"Wield no power but the fury of fire!" "The storm's fury cannot be turned aside. It hath no reason." "I am a wall. And walls don't move. Because walls don't care." "I saw a Lightbearer wielding a gun that pools of molten gold. I turned around and didn't look back." "No one knows who the first Arcstrider was." "What does it mean to be a Hunter? Finding where you belong." "The Titans decry our use of Void Light. 'Vampiric' and 'grotesque' they call us. How do they think their disintegration barriers work? What do they think happens to the atomized remains of their enemies? Titans can be so amusing." "Do not be consumed by the Light but consume it instead." "The two, master and student, took flight and vowed never again to look to the ground."

[@gianmarchesini6149]

I’ve listened to Journey so many times but I’ve never listened to its full extended track. This is absolutely incredible.

[@AkselJade]

I can't control my feelings when hearing this. The campaign was so powerful that it was one of the few times I played through without stopping, not caring about my power, only grabbing the next stronger mismatched gear and pushing harder to save the traveler. Only to now know that they removed the campaign. I can't play it now though I'm desperately willing to redo an entire character progression just to play it again.

[@d3po607]

this will forever be the best ost to come from destiny, sounds like something hanz zimmer would make

[@hellenictech]

Exactly! If you dont know the composers you will believe that it is hans zimmer's.

[@thesnackbandit]

@@hellenictech I mean it was composed mainly by Salvatori who is an absolute legend in his own right

I hope this music will be back in Lightfall or Final Shape

[@9oh-i7w]

I have a good feeling we will be Lightless again in Lightfall. Right after we get on that one ship in the trailer, we have to find the coordinates to Neomuna and Journey plays as we travel around Neptune. If we hear it in Final Shape I really hope we get a Lone Wolf style mission like Halo: Reach, shooting anything that moves as Journey plays.

[@X3H3X]

I couldn't believe it. The Traveler was captured. Our Light was gone. My Ghost was damaged badly. Around us, I saw Cabal executing my friends. Those I had fought alongside, died to protect, and been resurrected by to continue fighting alongside. This time...there was no returning for them. Our Light was gone. If we died, we died. There was no going back. I had to get out of here. I ran as fast as I could. My weapons were functional, but heavily damaged. I could not repair them. I kept running. Not looking back. It was only when I got to a hill that I heard a Cabal ship overhead. Watching where it headed. That was when I saw it. The City was in flames. Our home was well and truly lost. I continued to fight on any Cabal I could find. But I couldn't be reckless as I once was. If one struck a fatal blow...I would die for good. Holding my wounded side, I staggered forward. I had to find safety. I had to find a new home. I had...to continue fighting. The Traveler needed us. But without our Light, we were little more than the civilians we protected. What were we without the Light? We weren't Hunters. Nor Titans. Not even Warlocks. We were simple people who could be put down with a bullet. I found a safe place and was given sanctuary. I found an old friend of mine. A former Defender Titan. His armor was destroyed. "Glad to see someone else made it." he said with a weakened smile. I simply nodded. I couldn't say anything. Words would not save what we had lost. I sat down and removed my helmet. What hope did we have, when our most useful gift was taken from us? That we'd never get back. That was when my Ghost alerted me to something in the ground. Far on the horizon. The civilians called it the Shard of the Traveler. I could feel something pulling me there. I had to find what it meant. I had to continue this fight. Not just for me. But for my friends. My comrades. My home! As a former Gunslinger, I knew about the wilderness. I knew my way around it. I had to get to that Shard. And I had to find out why I was being drawn to it.

We fight.. die... and we live again. We know we were chosen for a reason... by something greater than ourselves. As deep and wide as our rivers have run, it has now been reduced to a precious few, needing something to believe in. This is the future we have been entrusted with. And we will protect it. This is a symbol of who we are - what we can achieve. But a day will come when we will be tested. Then we will see... what each of us are truly made of.

[@dinosaco]

Oh the Red War campaign.... why did they had to take it out? The current D2 new light is not even comparable to that masterpiece.
