[Upbeat, driving rhythm with a strong synth melody, akin to a Final Fantasy battle theme] [Verse 1] The crystal came for you, just out of my reach A future I couldn't see, a promise I'd breach I was meant to be your armor, meant to stand in the way But the Fal'Cie made their move, and I lost you that day A brand on my skin, a mission I despise Just a puppet in their plan, with hatred in my eyes I chased after the echoes of a truth that I'd deny And believed in their gilded cage beneath the silent sky [Chorus] And they call us a threat, a curse or a dream But we're just broken echoes in a cold, endless stream A focus to break, a world made of glass But we'll find our own purpose, and our past will not last [Verse 2] We followed their orders, a destiny so clear To destroy what we defended, to give in to the fear But the people of Cocoon, they were smiling and alive And the focus that they gave us was a truth we couldn't hide There's a whisper in the wind that Pulse is just a lie But I'm starting to believe there's a different reason why [Chorus] They called us the enemy, a curse or a dream But we're just broken echoes in a cold, endless stream A focus to break, a world made of glass But we'll find our own purpose, and our past will not last [Bridge] We were born of a lie, in a world that wasn't real And the truth that they were hiding is a wound that starts to heal This place they called their paradise, it's nothing but a tomb And the hell we were supposed to fear, has so much more room [Final Chorus] And we were different, a curse or a dream But we’re more than a memory, more than a stream A focus to break, a world made of glass The Pulse isn’t hell, it's a world we can grasp [Music fades to a final, echoing synth note]
