[4k] FFXIV – "Scream" – Updated and "definitive" unofficial lyrics

Thanks to the help from users on the FFXIV subreddit, I believe these lyrics are 99% accurate to whatever the official ones will be. Only time will tell, but I think we nailed this one!

Lyrics:

Thoust shalt, bastard and beast
(A lost lamb, first to the feast)
Come claim if you’re able, a spot at this table

Mad and meek, down on your knees
For hide and seek, it’s time that we feed
Your heart is racing, blood is running cold
Your fractured will is whispering (fly, fly) far away

Here be lions

Say goodnight
With each bite, does your sanity die
Sucking the life out, letting the dark
Inside, say a prayer as the white leaves your eyes
Oh scream all you like, your gods can’t hear you

(Scream, now scream)
(Scream), So suicide, don’t choke on your pride
(Scream, now scream)
(Now scream), Yeah, I’m gonna watch you bleed

Flensed and flayed, how does it feel?
Your pound is paid, those scars will not heal, no
Lost and suffering, drowning in your tears
Will someone somewhere tell me (where we’ll) go from here

Be the lion

Say goodnight
With each bite does your sanity die
Sucking the life out, letting the dark
Inside, say a prayer as the white leaves your eyes
Oh scream all you like, the gods can’t hear you

Dressed in rage, inside my cage
My Pandaemonium, still bound to the flame that I bear
Buried alive in the coffin of who I used to be
Oh scream all you like ’cause we’re all mad here

(Suffering, tempering)
(Wandering, wondering)
(Simpering, hungering)
Further falling into the night
Deeper, deeper down tonight

Say goodnight
To the shadow I left far behind
I’m just a stranger, we are all strange
Inside, we can run but there’s nowhere to hide
So scream all you like, no one can hear us

Follow me (follow me)
Come, follow me (follow me)
To Pandaemonium
Still bound to the flame that I bear
There’s no release, from this empty, waking wonderland
So scream if you like ’cause we’re all mad here
Scream all you like ’cause we’re all mad here
