L Y R I C S
Seeking the peace of reason
Sheep in a peaceless season
Reason to keep believing
Waken the beast who's sleeping
Let go this destiny, you're caught in a trance
Ever marking time inside a dream, no sign of advance,
You see, the mortal coil we serve is taut like a spring
Step back! Two-step, two-step, two-step, one two three
Our world's a fantasy, no more than a test
Ever feeding off the fallacy creating this mess
Deep down inside this bleak machine with all of the rest
Break free! Two-phase, two-phase electricity
Time turning up the volume
Time turning on us always
No time enough tomorrow
For turning back to where we began
Twenty-two sectors tested
Fragments in one direction
Celestial noise detected
Delirium unsuspected
Static tuned in to reason
Time in the aether deepens
Transmissions blink uncompleted
Seven two three two three...send
Arrested destiny, alone in a trance
No escaping from this waking dream, no hope of advance,
You see, the mortal coil we serve is naught but a spring
Unwind! Too slow, too quick, too much to believe
Your world's a fantasy, you've failed the test
Ever forging all new fallacies creating more mess
Directly through this bleak machine, with all of the rest
DC! Dying, dying electricity
Falling back right into the system of
Falling back on all that's erased
When fighting back right out of this system
Means falling back right into this space
Yes, falling back right in with the system
Who'll see you falling back to the end
When falling back is better than simply
Falling back into pieces again
Silent steel breathing, breathing
Memory writing, reading
Error! Repeat deleting
Radicals flowing free and
Energy slowly seeping
Suspending all disbelief in
Synergy with our being
Synapses fire in three, then...

FF14 has so many bangers, personally hoping for "Oblivion" or "What Angel Wakes me" in the future.

[@riley1675]

I cannot un-think a Sapphire Oblivion cover and will be living each day in agony I finally hear it

[@MiloKuroshiro]

GOD YES! I NEED IT

[@Nanashi-YT1]

You have a good taste in the music

[@kemix1006]

Kinda hoping she does a Fiend cover in the future. Spehirot has a god damn banger of a Worlds Collide-esque song.

[@silasary]

Oblivion would be amazing!

[@thelonesage3146]

Never thought I'd see the day but here we are awsome.

[@SauceyNoodle]

This does put a smile on my face

[@BohemiaValois]

Definitely wasn't expecting you to cover Final Fantasy 14, but I'm effing hyped!!

[@VentusxBBSxSpero]

Not sure if you know already but Sapphire covered Equilibrium and it's still probably one of my favourite songs. Check it out if you haven't!

[@BohemiaValois]

@@VentusxBBSxSpero I honestly haven't watched the channel and I generally stick to the Persona covers, but with FFXIV being my most favorite game right now (just barely beating Persona 3 and 4), I'll have to check that out, thanks!

[@nickoluspatraszewski7768]

If a Sephirot cover is in the future, that'd be **insane**

[@bookmoth-d1q]

that would rock so much

[@htiek3594]

Your cover of this song single handedly got Me back into playing this game. I am so thankful to you.

[@izunia8436]

Your voices are so similar I honestly can't tell which one is singing

[@LioYony]

Saw LOCUS and it was an automatic like. Was waiting for another cover of FFXIV from you. I really loved the Equilibrium cover you did. Really AMAZING

[@SonakaG]

Wait..... Does Sapphire play FFXIV?! When she's singing it shows the character from the game... yooooooo, that's awesome. Hey Sapphire, if you're interested in more covers from FFXIV, I'd love to see how you tackle "Oblivion" which is the second half song from the first Shiva battle.

[@Millacatt]

oh my god, Sapphire covering a 14 song....YESSSSSS

[@kongviolan6343]

I knew I struck gold from your Persona 5 covers! we need more FFXIV covers please

[@JennyWestheaven]

I haven't been back here in a while and I saw you did a Locus cover T_T hitting it out of the park as always!

[@guiltygamerxrd]

Oh nice, this is one of my favorite FFXIV songs. Would love more FFXIV covers, especially Return to Oblivion, Sunrise and To the Edge.

[@vaimantobe3034]

Oh boy, this is AWESOME! Sapphire FFXIV are always amazing!

[@aqj2014]

love the classic 16 bit ui and artwork. amazing vocals too

[@izunia8436]

Ok you definitely need to do more XIV covers like this

[@TheShockVox]

Completely missed this! I didn’t think I could love this song more, but this is my absolute favorite rendition

[@redbard4300]

Wow, this was amazing, the old school ff battle playing out was pretty original too!

[@Vahamut]

MY FAVORITE RAID TIER MY FAVORITE KZbin SINGER LESSGO

[@danielgregson4780]

Was recommended this by the Algorithm, this song is a banger of a track... how did you improve it and make it BETTER!...HOW! WHAT ASCIAN TRICKERY IS THIS?! 14 / 14!

[@Hypercat0]

i never thought i get a FFXIV song from you. But here we are. cant wait for Warrior of Light maybe? xD /Dance

[@ZectorV1]

I usually absolutely hate covers no matter the quality but this is beautiful. What an incredible voice

[@beholdthevoid]

You and Paul killed this! Also super amused at how Gun-heavy your Light party was.

[@dankmeemo3464]

One of the best ost of all FF and you remade it godlike, just gg wp

[@BaithNa]

This cover is amazing, that doesnt need to be stated but the artwork of the characters is pretty awesome too

[@Flashchocobo]

There are not enough views on this. Time to watch this every day till it gets recommended.

[@vita2831]

Absolutely incredible. Based and Sapphirepilled.

[@MaverickofTemporia]

another straight up hit to add to my FFXIV raiding playlist, this'll get me through the long nights of savage if nothing else will ;w; thank you again for such an amazing cover!

[@980username]

I honestly keep coming back to this. You did an absolutely amazing job, Sapphire! I listen to it at least once a day, aww man this is so great.

[@jedfromyourlocallibrary]

I love all the FFXIV music! Great job!

[@omegaguy71]

My favorite banger in 14 by one of my favorite youtube artists? Lets gooo

[@ChurlzVA]

Eyyy! I love FF14

[@dracoastra3039]

My favorite dungeon and boss being covered. This is such a double banger

[@Rika731]

[@tealfox6430]

OH GOOD GRIEF THIS IS DELICIOUS T.T 💛💛💛 very very good Alexander cover!! out of all the FFXIV songs to cover, I didn't expect y'all to pick my favorite, and I'm very glad you did!! This will be in my Spotify for a loooooooooong time lol xD

[@brachydios1230]

Had to double take who was doing this cover, unexpected but very welcome. rise when

[@Daredevil792Thefinalfantasy]

This is amazing

[@AdventurerOfOblivion]

Amazing choice

[@brittanyr613]

Amazing cover!!! I love your voice! I’d love to see more FFXIV covers 🥰 To The Edge or the main Shadowbringers theme would be incredible!

[@ryukyuiansunflower]

This deserves waaaaaaaay more views. You literally never disappoint. Awesome, and I'm crossing my fingers that you do a cover of Tsukuyomi's theme Wayward Daughter someday, and find the perfect way to translate over the lyrics to English, as you always do.

[@lollia_official]

second

[@Sapphberry]

WOW

[@blackh9604]

MCHs represent!

[@AllOtakuProductions]

I love how you have the classic FF menu for the credits! 😁

[@NeoAstrisk]

GODDAMN how have I REALLY not heard of you!?

[@TheCreepypro]

[@Kupokkisynteetteri]

This is awesome! Great Job! Keep up great Job! ❤️

[@ChazEevee]

[@jupiter4602]

[@Elerigo]

Really love the art in this video!

[@josephoconner4807]

Totally adding this to my Spotify

[@rafagd]

Ah, The Twinning. The dungeon where /dance gives you extra dps.

[@ItzScarred]

This is so amazing I’ve been waiting to watch this since I saw the preview of it on Twitter!

[@Smithy4224]

Oh hell yeah, I've been waiting for this one to hit KZbin! Can never get enough of this tasty robot jam. And the classic FF menu effects are a great visual touch!

[@1wayroad935]

BEST RAID SONG

[@indaybedidye]

Oh my gods I am over the moon!! This is great. Please do more FFXIV songs - maybe Return to Oblivion?

[@soranohatoch.9976]

I am so glad I discovered your music through this remix of one of my all-time favorite ffxiv songs!

[@lewa3910]

Amazing stuff!

[@mark62684583]

This is what plays at the Crystal Rave Tower, along with A Long Fall.

[@Squeenix1]

Good stuff 👍

[@strategist9]

I know what's gonna be stuck inside of my head for the next few days at least! Loved this cover!

[@RangoTheMercenary]

I shared this on Facebook's Video Game Music group. I hope you'll join and continue to post your music!

[@deli7625]

what in the heck, what a banger

[@VanessaVersus]

You know I was gonna say something about "Miria Danseur" but then I remembered I named my bard in my last d&d campaign "Kallista Melodie" so I really have no high ground fuckin banger tune tho

[@vaimantobe3034]

A cover of Insanity (Innocence Theme) from FFXIV Shadowbringers by Sapphire would make my life complete :)

[@Carnagevenomtoxin]

Now we need to see you do "Metal".

[@Tockym]

That video work was stellar. Loved it!

[@Johnny12809]

Im having a hard time donloading this song without the extra background ff8 noises lol

[@FrozenSolid90]

I dare you to try covering Under The Weight (Titan's theme).

[@pootissandvichhere9135]

Are those characters on the art yours or a friends? Because damn do they look cool!

[@Sapphberry]

both of our WoLs!

[@bottree2903]

[@DrasticDesire]

[@visin37l76]

Amazing job sapphire.. as always

[@sampletext02]

LETS GOOOOOOO

[@sleepingforestmusic]

first

[@Sapphberry]

WOW!!

[@invertedillusions]

Only thing better than this beautiful covor is that you use the Typhoon boss from Shadowbringers (The Twinning is the dungeon).

[@kelvinlee639]

Good but more head shot ❤️❤️💕💕💕💕

[@iamtetsuo8348]

hell yeah I'm a jam out all day and pull my ffxiv group in too

[@TheCreepypro]

[@HyperDarkmoon]

the video is as good as the song omggg

[@Pandesaltosino]

what song are you singing at the end credits? i love it. I found it! "Equilibrium" - Final Fantasy XIV (Cover by Sapphire ft.The Consouls)

[@OdaKa]

Whoa

[@KogashiwaKai]

/mogdance

[@KaikipBT7]

/beesknees

[@lHotlHotlPwns]

dang, good job.

[@onemirrionyen]

Based on this, a cover of DMC5's Devil Trigger could be such a banger

[@sikretp]

Whoa, I thought it was a game walkthrough 🤭

[@jayashekay]

Target Provoked

[@cyne122]

Moar FF14 please!!!! This was so good!!

[@angeluskardia459]

I loved the cover of Equilibrium and this is great- I hope the next would be ❄️ ∅ b l i v i o n ❄️

[@CaptainNoFace]

if there was a way to mod this track in over the original I would, nothing against the original because it slaps. But this is just suits so much better for some reason.

[@IAmAwesomeRocker]

Time to bop *Bops head furiously to the beat*

[@SonicFlashboss]

Please tell me we're in the same data center

[@MizuChimera]

A Kingdom Hearts cover please

[@xxaurelia__]

Sapphire, so im pretty sure you probably dont take requests but imma ask you anyways. Could you cover To The Edge but piano/acoustic/Neath Dark Waters rendition? To The Edge lyrics fits perfectly with Neath Dark Waters and its sooo good. Im such a fan of yours please keep up the amazing work!!

[@Tabularasa1996]

Anyone else want to see sapphire do a honkai impact song like befall or nightglow.

[@bookmoth-d1q]

!!!!
