White Stone Black Lyrics:

Silence born into violence
Violence swearing to silence

Silence leads to violence
Violence swearing to silence

Clutch almighty, hold on tight
To begin new thinking, wandering mind
Memory slowly, blinding white
Power unto this stone we shall pray

Black-bound infinite, mocking time
When the sun rose up, do we long for the night
Shadows shifting, and we die
To the land behind, we pay no mind

Clutch almighty, hold on tight
To begin new thinking, wandering wide
Memory slowly, blinding white
Power unto this stone we shall pray

Black-bound infinite, mocking time
When the sun rose up, do we long for the night
Shadows shifting, and we die
To the land behind, we pay no mind

Clutch almighty, hold on tight
To begin new thinking, wandering wide
Memory slowly, blinding white
Power unto this stone we shall pray

Black-bound infinite, mocking time
When the sun rose up, do we long for the night
Shadows shifting, and we die
To the land behind, we pay no mind

Clutch almighty, hold on tight
To begin new thinking, wandering wide
Memory slowly, blinding white
Power unto this stone we shall pray

Silence
Violence
Silence
Violence

Black-bound infinite, mocking time
When the sun rose up, do we long for the night
Shadows shifting, and we die
To the land behind, we pay no mind

  1. If this is a guess at the lyrics it's really well done. Someone on reddit sorta put the song to lore understandings so it makes sense.

    Well the main repeated lyric is:

    > "Silence brings violence, violence swearing to silence."

    Rather than talk about how this may connect back to the raid's story, I think it's important to talk about how this connects back to both the Ancients and Lahabrea first.

    > Ancients

    The lyric connects back to the Ancients because it's the story of their life. The Final Days happens and undoes them because of how their society was structured. Instead of being open about their fears and thoughts via individualism, it was one that minimized individualism and followed the Convocation pretty rigidly.

    The Ancients quite literally die due to silence in two ways. Their own fears were so easily able to be and become made manifest because their society did not support open individualism and communicating about your fears like that. Meteion also goes insane because all she gets back in her search for why life is worth living is silence. The former is silence bringing violence, the latter is violence that swears itself to silence.

    > Lahabrea

    This is a much easier.

    The name of the song is "White Stone Black".

    In the JP version of the game, Auracite is called Holy Stone. The Heart of Sabik is specifically called Black Auracite in the JP version so the name of Heart of Sabik in the JP version of the game is "Black Holy Stone" / "Holy Stone Black" Sabik.

    Holy Stone Black. White Stone Black.

    > Notes

    This kind of leans into a theory, but:

    * We know the Heart of Sabik worked similar to the Synthetic Auracite used in the Weapon trials since they were based on it. It was Black Auracite that contained memories and "data" about someone that even the vaunted scholars of Allag couldn't figure out.

    * We know the Ultima Weapon's central purpose was to take a ton of different primal energies and fuse them together.

    * We know what Athena and Hephaistos were working on was taking different beings and fusing them together.

    * Sabik is ancient Greek for "the preceding one".

    I think Pandamonium is going to be the birthplace of the idea behind the Ultima Weapon, and the tragedy behind the Heart of Sabik in particular.

  2. Song's super catchy and the fight is so much fun. I keep hearing this as the lyrics though:

    Silence awaiting Violence
    Violence swearing to Silence

    Silence leads to Violence
    Violence swearing to Silence

    Clutch almighty, hold on tight
    To begin new thinking, wondering why
    Memory slowly, blinding white
    Power unto this stone we shall write

    Black-bound infinite, mocking time
    When the stone glows white
    Do we long for the night
    Shadows shifting, terror died
    To the land behind, do we pay no mind
