//song list and lore under the cut//

1. Your Bones – Of Monsters And Men (snatched from @cappurrccino)

This year of wild voyaging, these lightning nights and golden days, these forays into ancient wrecks and windblown flights from monsters: these are the happiest times of my life.

In the spring we made a boat Out of feathers, out of bones We set fire to our homes Walking barefoot in the snow

“We have to dive,” Sathona said, following the whispers of her familiar. “In the world beneath us, in the metallic depths, I hope we may find what we need most...” More time. More life.

All that’s left are your bones That will soon sink like stones

2. Against The Tide – Celldweller (snatched from @xivu-arath)

When I’m paralyzed by fear, Xi Ro sits in the cabin with me and comforts me with soft, brave words. But more and more we have come to rely on Sathona’s wit.

I feel your grip firm on my shoulder But this fear in my head won't subside They patiently circle around us As we hold out

“We three will die here, in exile. Taox will outlive us. And Aurash, brilliant-eyed Aurash, you will die of old age long before you have proof of your God-Wave, or any way to stop it.”

We’re losing light And strength of will The darkened depths beckoning still And we hold on against the tide

They heard the collision of continents. They heard the patter and the crash of helium-neon rain. They heard the struggles of monsters. And they heard the distant groan of the ocean rising. Tugged by distant moons. “The syzygy is real...” Sathona hissed. “It’s already begun.”

The ending that we knew would come Has finally begun

We ask one thing in exchange, oh Princes. You must obey your nature forever. In your immortality, Aurash, you may never cease to explore and inquire, for the sake of your children. In your immortality, Xi Ro, you may never cease to test your strength. In your immortality, Sathona, you may never abandon cunning.

You’re reaping what you’ve sown You’re reaping what you’ve sown

3. This Is Love – The Hunts (snatched from @xivu-arath)

Your ancestors endured the most hostile conditions. And now you must go on creating those conditions. Even unto your sisters. Even unto your offspring. Savathûn’s betrayal is the greatest gift she could offer you.

This is love, this is war This is not about revenge or what I felt before This is love, this is more

4. Sound of War – Tommee Profitt ft. Fleurie

At your back like a loaded gun And the night has just begun Steady now, breathe, breathe

You are dead, young Auryx. Betrayed and murdered by your own sister, for the crime of mercy.

Hold your breath Close your eyes Turn your ear to the sky You’re not safe here anymore This is the sound of war

5. Run Baby Run – The Rigs

I killed my sister today. […]

Savathûn and her broods have liberated the Qugu from jaw-beasts, and indeed from existence. But as they chased the Qugu ark-ships, I stopped in to vaporize my sister’s warship and a few of her underlings. I want to dwell on the ruins a while, and punish Savathûn for failing to guard her flank.

Love can’t protect you now The love that I can’t feel It’ll only break you down

So wait Keep your heart inside My hands won’t keep it safe I’ll just feed on dreams and Smile as hope slowly dies

6. This Is Love – Air Traffic Controller

Brother Auryx, said SAVATHÛN, do not forgive my betrayal. Instead, take vengeance upon me for what I did at the dry moon! And AURYX made war on her, in worship of the Deep. Between them stood XIVU ARATH saying, stop, or I will kill you, war is mine and I am strongest. [...]

Such was their love.

Yeah, I know wrong, I know right But I just love to pick a fight I can sleep with one eye open If there’s any sleep at night

I got my knife, got my gun Let’s see how fast you can run You might think that you can hurt me But the damage has been done

7. We Have It All – Pim Stones

Oryx looks at her and for a moment, just a moment, he is nostalgic, he is sentimental. He thinks, imagine the years behind us, the things we’ve done. And yet being old doesn’t feel like a scar, does it? It hasn’t left me dull. I feel alive, alive with you, and every time I step back into this world from my throne I feel like I’m two years old again, at the bottom of the universe, looking up.

Our hearts we have sold For diamonds and gold But hey, baby, take a look We have it all

Hear me Can you hear me? I am calling out to you for the last time

8. We Must Be Killers – Mikky Ekko

I’m walking down the road, I’m going to the orrery to talk to my dad, and I hear, well, I hear this noise, so I look back. And my sisters are behind me, and they’re ripping up the road. They’ve got these huge swords, execution swords, and they’re levering the stones out of the road. The stones are covered in writing. They’re like tablets. And there’s dirt underneath full of worms.

I woke up, I was stuck in a dream You were there, you were tearing up everything But we all know how to fake it, baby And we all know what we’ve done

“Where are my sisters?” Aurash shouts. “What have you done with my people? What have you done?”

We must be killers Children of the wild ones Killers Where we’ve got left to run?

9. Bottom of the River – Delta Rae

I love mighty Xivu more than a moon loves the tide. I’ll kill her for this. Over and over, forever and ever.

Hold my hand Oh, baby, it’s a long way down to the bottom of the river Hold my hand Oh, baby, it’s a long way down, a long way down

10. Krigsgaldr – Heilung (rec by @knightscendant)

I think that Savathûn and Xivu Arath are trying to steal the tablets from me. They must have cut off my tribute while I was away communing with the Deep. I love them so dearly. No one else is clever or strong enough to try to break me. No one else can give me this gift.

I let the blade do the talking So my tongue shall become iron And my words the mighty roar of war

Oryx my Brother is the bravest thing I know. Upon Fundament he learned that we were the natural prey of the universe, the most frail and desperate of things. He thought about this carefully and he found a way to fix it. He made us strong. He will lead us into eternity. Oryx my Brother loves me and this love is war.

Beloved brother enemy I sing my sword song for you The lullaby of obliteration So I can wake up with a smile And bliss in my heart And bliss in my heart And bliss in my heart

11. I Love You… I’ll Kill You – Enigma (snatched from @knightscendant)

I think joy and sorrow will be the same thing soon. Like love and death.

Look into the mirror of your soul Love and hate are one in all Sacrifice turns to revenge and believe me You’ll see the face who’ll say: I love you, I'll kill you But I’ll love you forever

So I start eating my dad. I bite huge pieces out of him and I claw him up. I eat his legs and I eat his arms and I eat his goggles and his eyes and he says, good, good, this is majestic and true. But my sisters are still tearing up the road so I don’t know how to get back.

Loneliness, I feel loneliness in my room

12. Thanatos – Soap&Skin (snatched from @xivu-arath)

“I have a gift for you,” says Oryx. Savathûn, Witch-Queen, looks at him with dry wariness.

Watch the bend of my wandering Of hunting with the lightning gun

She looks back at him with eyes like hot needles. “I like that,” she says. “That’s elegant.” Although of course she has had this thought before.

Torn open tomb I fell in your Cold fission bomb I fell in your war

13. Just Beneath the Flames – Digital Daggers (snatched from @cappurrccino)

“I don’t have a strict proof yet, you know.” Savathûn strokes the void with one long claw and space-time groans beneath her touch. “This thing we believe — that we’re liberating the universe by devouring it, that we’re cutting out the rot, that we’re on course to join the final shape — I haven’t found a strict, eternal proof. We might yet be wrong.”

We were kings and queens of bedlam We were happy to exist In discomfort we’d created Though we dreamed of more than this

I am reminded of my home. I am reminded of the warmth of the sun and the embrace of my family. I am reminded of my father’s face. I am reminded of everyone I betrayed. All the blood spilled in the name of immortality. The warmth of the sun burns me with its memory.

We’re at a stalemate, Begging for the earth to shake Wondering if the winds will change And blow us all away We are in the dark age Tell me it was worth the pain

14. Love and War – Fleurie

(I have a fic about this!)

Do you know the last time I spoke with my brother? It was just before you killed him. I told him he would die. And he said, “I am always glad to die.”

In life, in love, this time I can’t afford to lose For one, for all, I'll do what I have to do You can’t understand, it’s all part of the plan

Broken pieces of the night Sing like hollow lullabies You and I, always in disguises

15. Lanterns Lit – Son Lux

Memory rushes in Then washes you away I am losing you to the sea

If you had a single flaw You just could not last forever, could you? You just could not last for me

16. King’s Descent – Destiny 2: The Witch Queen Original Soundtrack

And so I look upon her today, my Witness, absent a brother. Loss—true and consequential loss—is new to her palette, but she hides her distaste for the bitter well. […]

“Congratulations, then? I suppose after so many eons of killing one another to build your strength, his final end must feel like quite the accomplishment. No more must your wits dabble against his play-mortality. Now, only matters of consequence will occupy your precious time.”

17. I Am Stretched on Your Grave – Sinéad O’Connor

“Those two killed each other about a million times over, but she dedicated a temple to him. Eh, it’s funny how that works.”

And with you in your cold grave I cannot sleep warm

So I am stretched on your grave And I’ll lie here forever If your hands were in mine I’d be sure they would not sever

18. Wave Your Flags – PHILDEL

What do I do? What do I do? Here in the darkness with you With you?

Have you hid enough? Camouflaged yourself from love Hard to make it stop Hard to slow what’s speeding up

19. Cover Me – Black Math

Impress me with your silence I'm hanging on your eyelids As we softly stir the violence

[Xivu Arath, hear me.] [You are war, and I conjure you with war and blood.] [A gift for my favorite sister.]

And if I cover you Say you will cover me

20. Beautiful Crime – Tamer

I have to make an end so we begin To save my soul at any cost

We fight every night for something When the sun sets, we’re both the same Half in the shadows Half burned in flames

“It might surprise you to hear, but everything my siblings and I have done has been for each other. […] You’d do anything for your family, chosen or otherwise. Go to any lengths to avenge them.”

Take what you need, say your goodbyes I give you everything This darkness is the light This darkness is the light

21. Edge Of The World – Within Temptation (rec by @starlunakitsube)

“Siblings, bonded by cosmic fate, forever orbiting one another like binary stars... Mara reminds me of my sister. She’s afraid. Holding on so tightly because she can’t bear to lose one more thing... But we all have to let go.”

Cannot carry you, carry you, carry you now The truth can’t bare the sunlight You’re afraid for the day it does

I’m gonna run to the edge of the world Run to the edge of the world Feel that I’m gonna get home if I try

22. Love in the Dark - Adele

Please, stay where you are Don’t come any closer Don't try to change my mind I'm being cruel to be kind

“When I am separated from my worm, I'll be separated from Xivu Arath too. And then my sister will be alone. The last of us.”

It is the world to me That you are in my life But I want to live and not just survive

That’s why I can’t love you in the dark It feels like we’re oceans apart There is so much space between us Maybe we’re already defeated

“But as much as I care for her... I cannot stay like this.”

Everything changed me And I don’t think you can save me

23. What Have You Done – Within Temptation feat. Mina Caputo

I know I’d better stop trying You know that there’s no denying I won’t show mercy on you now

“The attacks against the Blind Well have become stronger lately.” “Is Xivu Arath trying to rescue Savathûn?” “Xivu Arath has plans for her sister. They do not involve a rescue.”

Would you mind if I killed you? Would you mind if I tried to? ‘Cause you have turned into my worst enemy You carry hate that I don’t feel It's over now, what have you done?

24. Silent Running – Hidden Citizens

It leads into a recounting of Savathûn: banished, branded as heretic and set to burn. […] She is still hunted by the hounds of war. Her pursuer has no local story to recount here, for it is yet to be written in blood.

Can you hear me? Can you hear me running? Can you hear me running, can you hear me calling you?
