The background melody also features a remix of "Torn from the Heavens", so that every expansion of Final Fantasy XIV to date is featured in the main theme. After more background vocals praising the ideal of hope, the main vocalist sings the chorus of " Shadowbringers" before arriving at the climax of the song, in which the main vocalist belts out lyrics vowing to "forge ahead" no matter what enemies he faces.

This passage transitions into the main vocalist singing the chorus of " Storm of Blood". The song starts to pick up in energy and hope with the introduction of background vocals, some of which are taken from the Dravanian passage of " Heavensward". The main theme begins with an initial, moody segment featuring the main vocalist referring to his "heart of ember", and an instrumental section with electric guitar.
