Bow down Knee-sock Lover

Lyrics

Greetings, everyone!
Bayohne here and I have some pretty cool news to share!

You see, I was looking through the draft folder of the FFXIV blog and I noticed a post from a mysterious user named "i_love_knee-socks" that was made recently. Investigating further, it seemed to be a post from FFXIV's own Sound Director Masayoshi Soken!

I figure since he took the time to write it up, it should be okay to post, right? Without further ado...

------------------------------------
Suuup, adventurers! FFXIV Sound Director Masayoshi Soken here.

Ever since time immemorial (or... September), I've been getting a ton of requests from players about something very important.
"Hey Knee-socks," they'd yell, "tell us the lyrics in the Titan battle song already!"

Since I've stayed so quiet, let's just say that there have been a lot of fan, uh, "interpretations" of the lyrics...
"I don't wanna die, I don't wanna die"
"Omg landslide, omg landslide"
"YOSSSHHIIIDDDAAAAA"

Well I think it's time for you all to learn the TRUE lyrics! Therefore, today I am pulling back the veil of mystery... enjoy!
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Under the Weight
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Wrought from the rock that stands upon old
With heart of black and a stare that's cold

Cold are the hands that grasp at your soul
'Fore the graves are dug and the death knells toll

Tempered in the flows of the mountain's core
Where the rage runs red twixt shore and shore

Shorn from the world 'neath the blazing sun
Bound to the dark, for the light I shun

Bow down overdweller (under the weight)
Bow down overdweller (under the weight)
Bow down overdweller (under the weight)
Bow down overdweller (in hell I wait)

Bow down overdweller (under the weight)
Bow down overdweller (under the weight)
Bow down overdweller (under the weight)
Succumb to the hate that corrupts your fate

Into the dark of an endless night
Where the pulse of the land offers no respite

In spite of the blood that was spilled before
You whet your blades, you thirst for more

Now kneel overdweller, your lord commands
There's no salvation for the sons of man

The skies will tremble and the earth will quake
From the crumbling walls no one escapes

Bow down overdweller (under the weight)
Bow down overdweller (under the weight)
Bow down overdweller (under the weight)
Bow down overdweller (in hell I wait)

Bow down overdweller (under the weight)
Bow down overdweller (under the weight)
Bow down overdweller (under the weight)
I'll drag you right down to the seventh gate
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I'm sure you've seen the Patch 2.1 trailer, right? Specifically at 7:45:

Soon you'll be facing off against extreme version of Titan! I know you'll all be pumped when you're fighting him, so be sure to SCREAM and SHOUT along with the music! Don't worry about your neighbors either! TIIIITTAAAAANNNNN!
