    "Endcaller" (stylized as "ENDCALLER" in Japanese) is a boss theme Final Fantasy XIV: Endwalker, composed by Masayoshi Soken and arranged by Yoshitaka Suzuki.

    It is an arrangement of "Endwalker".

    Lyrics

    Like "Ultima", "Heroes", "The Worm's Tail", and "Invincible", random sounds that resemble vocals were generated to create the music. It was given actual lyrics for the Final Fantasy XIV Orchestra Concert 2022 -Eorzean Symphony-, written by Michael-Christopher Koji Fox and translated into Japanese by Natsuko Ishikawa. The official lyrics were released on the Final Fantasy XIV Orchestral Arrangement Album Vol.3.[1]

    Eorzean Symphony version

    English
    Should we lose our way
    Tire of all this pain
    We won't be afraid
    To forge ahead
    Marching forward
    Ever forward
    Marching forward
    Ever forward
    Storm of blood inside us
    Born from blood in silence
    Two tone echoes down,
    Tumbling down down
    Now we yearn for freedom
    For freedom
    Stories sown along the way
    Tales of loss and fire and faith
    On, carry on
    Strong, ever strong
    Courage thriving hand-in-hand
    Our souls aligned we forge ahead
    Forward
    Marching forward
    Forge ahead
    Our song of hope, she dances on the wind higher, oh higher
    E'er our vows endure, and remain forever strong
    Standing tall in the dark do we carry on
    On wings of hope, you rise up through the night higher, oh higher
    Carrying our song, cradled fast within your arms
    That its chorus might ring for all
    E'er the chorus rings
    E'er the chorus rings on
    Souls aligned, we forge ahead
    Forge ahead
    Japanese translation
    道を見失い
    痛みに疲れ切ったときこそ
    私たちは躊躇わずに
    突き進もう
    行進せよ
    前へ、もっと前へ
    侵食せよ
    先へ、もっと先へ
    我らが心(うら)にのたうつ血の嵐
    その血から、沈黙のうちに生れ出たのだ
    あなたと私の残響は落ちていく
    転がり落ちて、堕ちていく
    今こそ我らを解き放たん
    解き放たん
    この人生に蒔いてきた、物語の種
    喪失と憤怒、そして確信が実った
    継続せよ
    強く、もっと強く
    結合しもはや止める方なく
    我らはひとつとなって前(おわり)へ進む
    前(おわり)へ
    行進せよ
    終末へ
    『希望の唄は風に乗り、天高くへ舞い上がる
     約束はいつまでも消えず、確かに残り続けるでしょう
     絶望の中でも胸を張り、生きて、生きて、生きてください』
    『希望の翼に乗って、君は星空へ高く舞い上がる
     その腕に抱き、苦難と生きた人の唄を運んでおくれ
     全天に響き渡るように』
    歌う声が響く
    謳う声が響き渡る――
    魂は繋がり、私たちは進む
    ただ前へと向かって
