Unsundered
Final Fantasy · Emet Selch
The story in the song
This original anthem is dedicated to Emet-Selch — the last Unsundered, bearer of forgotten worlds and one of Final Fantasy XIV’s most tragic souls. It’s a song about remembrance, love twisted into duty, and the endless ache of a promise kept too long.

Lyrics
Do you remember?
A city under starlight, Amaurot aglow.
Masks on the mantle, a promise no one knows.
I walk through mirrored winters
where the dead still rose.
I wore a borrowed crown in a cold empire.
Played Solus in the spotlight,
hid Hades in the flame.
Unsundered in the fractures
where the sky came apart.
I bartered dawns for memory,
wagered worlds for a heart.
If love was the tether that held back the night,
Then carve it in crystal, let sorrow ignite.
Call to the Wanderer, bearer of light—Azem’s sign.
Meet me at the edge where your fate crosses mine.
Remember us
Write the name in the dark of
the void‑torn dust.
Remember us
Unsundered heart that refused to rust.
Remember us
Hold the sky when the heavens combust.
If I fall at the last, let the story
be just—
Remember us.
Do you remember?
Remember us!
Do you remember us?
I built a dream in shadow, a city out of loss.
Watched Final Days rekindle like frost upon
the gloss.
You stood
in Elpis sunlight with a promise in your eyes.
Called me by the name that the centuries denied.
If grief is a lantern, then raise it up high,
Let constellations witness how ancients still try.
Take this Convocation stone,
all the weight it implies,
And answer me truly beneath broken skies—
Remember us
Write the name in the dark of the void‑torn dust.
Remember us
Unsundered heart that refused to rust.
Remember us
Hold the sky when the heavens combust.
If I fade like a star, make the ending robust—
Remember us.
This was never mercy; it was love made severe.
A bargain for a sunrise that never drew near.
If duty is the dagger, be the hand on the hilt.
I asked for remembrance; you answered with guilt.
Emet‑Selch—Hades—Amaurot!
Heart of night—bear the cost!
Do you—remember—us?
We do—remember—us!
Remember us
Write the name in the dark
where the brave combust.
Remember us
Unsundered heart, incorruptible trust.
Remember us
Hold the sky when the heavens combust.
If the tale must conclude, let it echo
and thrust—
Remember us.
Do you remember?
Remember us.
Light finds the lost.
