So turns out FFXIV is FULL of potential power songs…

[David Lewis]

So.


The head composer of the critically acclaimed MMO Final Fantasy XIV TM is the legendary Masayoshi Soken, an all around badass who frequently writes the Boss themes for the particularly important story moments or characters. A lot of them are (respectfully) more generic battle themes that probably wouldn’t interest Doug’s mage gift.

But there are also more than a few that I’m pretty sure would do the opposite, and here’s a list of several and the powers I think they’d grant. 
Note these lyrics are all fan-transcribed and not guaranteed to be accurate.

(Minor spoilers, no story heavy or endgame content)



AAC Heavyweight M4 Theme Everything Burns Feat. Tom Morello & Beartooth



Never had a choice, never let the opps win
Calm them nerves, got the whole world watchin'
Ready, set, go, and there ain't no stoppin'
Only one option, light it up
Ha!


Heart is poundin' out my chest, the blood boils inside of me
Lookin' at the walls around me closin' in, I think, "What's it gonna be?"
Never had a choice, never let the opps win
Calm them nerves, got the whole world watchin'
Ready, set, go, and there ain't no stoppin'
Got one option, light it up


Everything burns
Light it up, let's go, light it up, let's go
Everything burns
Light it up, let's go, light it up, let's go
I'm on fire, burnin' brighter than anyone alive
I'm way too hot to touch, so just remember if you try
Everything burns


Everything burns
Bones are shakin' out my skin, I got tinglin' in my hands
Movin' like a lightning strike, I'm on tonight, so just catch me if you can
Never had a choice, never let the opps win
Calm them nerves, got the whole world watchin'
Ready, set, go, and there ain't no stoppin'
Got one option, light it up


Everything burns
Light it up, let's go, light it up, let's go
Everything burns
Light it up, let's go, light it up, let's go
I'm on fire, burnin' brighter than anyone alive
I'm way too hot to touch, so just remember if you try
Everything burns


Whole house packed, not here to make friends
Do or die moment, I love it this tense
Who am I takin' out? Thinking you're next
And now when the sky turns red, 'cause everything burns
'Cause everything burns


Everything burns
Light it up, let's go, light it up, let's go
Everything burns
Light it up, let's go, light it up, let's go
I'm on fire, burnin' brighter than anyone alive
I'm way too hot to touch, so just remember if you try
Everything burns
Everything burns




Power - A pretty obvious fire manipulation  body of fire song.






Sinister - Vamp Fatale Theme


Wet blood, fresh blood drippin' on the walls,
These screams, they're no dream, they're your curtain call
Looking for pleasure, waking up from the pain 
here, come get your fill


Gotta run, gotta crawl, back into the night
Baby hush, what's the rush, got you in my sights
Ain't my first time, we'll take it slow yeah
Going in for the thrill


Now get down on your knees
I'm asking please (ON YOUR KNEES)


I'm sinister
Under your skin, in lace and leather
Sinister, don't you know who I am
I'll make it better


You'll find what sort of master you'll take 
You're finally feeling love for who hates
Your sin, your soul, misfortune, your pain,
For I'll have it all



(ALL OF) I will take what I wanna
(ALL OF) Cause they'll take all they wanna
(WON'T STOP) Don't let me down
(WE WON'T) Or I'll chew you up and spit you out


(?) No I'll never surrender,
(?) Bow before some pretender,
(?) Now watch me go
(?) And claim my throne


Goin hard, goin soft, ain't no onus here
Free for all, consensual, I thought I made that clear
Ready or not, bottom or top, what you got in mind
A little more, I'll give you more, cause the chance is mine


Don't be the drones that mind who all diss me
I'm a B with an itch to scratch so don't mess with me
Lookin to squeal under my heel? Squeeze like this and turn
I don't hear no safe word, honey


Put down that magazine
All eyes on me (OBEY YOUR QUEEN)


I'm sinister
Under your skin, in lace and leather
Sinister, don't you know who I am
I'll make it better


You'll find you're better off as my slave
You're wrapped up helplessly in the chains 
Your faith, your freedom, fortune, your fame
For I am it all
(I AM YOUR ALL!)



Here on my own, atop this terrible throne
I reach for the stars, Why are they oh so far
And so I climb, I leave what's left here behind
So some day I'll find, what I want, all I want, I want, I want, after you're gone



Power - Either grant Doug the metaphorical control and influencing abilities of a Dominatrix, or maybe turns him into one physically for the song? (Don’t know that Maggie would approve…)





(Ramuh: Heritor of Levin Theme) | Final Fantasy XIV



Step in from the storm, praise its mercy
Let the sting of the rain ne’er stray far from thee
Lightning bright, thunder bold
Freeing us forevermore
Now lift thine heavy head and vanquish thy sorrow
Lightning doth strike
Thunder doth roll
Now turn thy gaze ahead and look to the morrow
Lightning shall strike
Thunder shall roll on


Power - Again, a pretty obvious lighting/thunder control song/ 





"Bee My Honey" (Honey B. Lovely Theme) with Lyrics | Final Fantasy XIV: Dawntrail

Bee is for beauty, obedient and sweet,
Bee-ware the sting, of your pitiful defeat,
Bee mine forever, and always play your part,
Bee-fore it's over, I'll capture your heart.
My wings are humming, honey stay a little while,
With just a pinch, you'll be delighted and beguiled,
I'm not your baby doll, but I can make you smile,
No nectar sweeter sweetie, I'll drive you wild.
My heart is pure as lace, and laced with purest pride,
My frills are wild flowers, begging for your eyes,
My lips are poison, and waiting to collide,
Come play with me darling, you'll be surprised.
This world is a weary place, hum-drum dreary eyed,
In all its monotony, I'm buried alive.
I want to outshine the stars in the sky,
I want to see my name painted in lights,
To win your love, I will do just anything,
But there's always something more, there's always something more.
I'll be the face you'll see on magazines,
Fill up my concerts, enthralling the streets,
I'll be your idol, your only one,
But it's somehow not enough, it can never be enough.
Look at me look, I'll take your breath away,
You'll pay the price, if you deny me,
My throne is here, at the arcadion,
Cross me and that's your head.
Oh Gods, again, I really should have said,
Give, me love, forever just because.
I'll be your queen bee Honey B. Lovely,
I'll be your one and only champion,
I'll be your full-time royal, worship me,
Love me again, until the end,
I'll be your queen bee Honey B. Lovely,
I'll be adored by workers near and far,
I'll let you be my lil drone honey,
So long as you never cross me,
Oh Gods, again, I really should have said,
Heed me well, or you're as good as DEAD!


Power - Create / Summon  / Control vast swarms of bees and wasps.





"Hic Svnt Leones" (Hesperos Theme) 


Wild shrieks knife through the deep
Natureless creatures perverted and evil
From foul nests rise
A vermin tide
Teeth bared, clawing the air
Sin wrapped in sinew the rats do not fear you
In slaughter’s keep
The piper weeps
Jaws slack, mark on your back
Here in the valley your Death casts no shadow
Seal this fate
Come storm the gate
Laid bare
Picked clean
Bred deep
In the bones that feed the menagerie
Burns hot
Burns brief
All hope
Till there’s nothing left but ash
Dark horizons, boiling seas (Pandemonium)
From the borders chaos bleeds
Savage nobles, cultured thieves (Pandemonium)
Here be lions, follow me
Dig in, pull back the skin
See what’s inside you, the sickness that drives you
Beating black
Demoniac
Pride, greed, in mud thrive these seeds
Rotten and reeking the fruits of your making
Testify
Come take a bite
Bite down, blood in the cut
Choking on life as your light’s slowly swallowed
Fade away
Or join the fray
Laid bare
Picked clean
Bred deep
In the bones that feed your insanity
Unwind
Unfold
Your mind
Till it shatters just like glass
Dark horizons, boiling seas (Pandemonium)
From the borders chaos bleeds
Savage nobles, cultured thieves (Pandemonium)
Here be lions, follow me



Power - Summon rats, insects and other ‘foul’ creatures as shadowy minions under his control, summon the swarm.

[David Lewis]

"Back To The Drawing Board" (Sugar Riot Theme) | Final Fantasy XIV: Dawntrail

Red-faced, caught red-handed, paint-in-hand she paints the town red
Blue skies, sky's the limit, limit breakin', got the green light
Green-eyed, she's a monster. Silver bullet, silver linings
Lines, without the lines. Lines, without the lines. Now, make me, color me
Sage, scarlet, teal, tawny, pink, plum, bone, burgundy, bronze
Slate, salmon, smoke, sanguine, grey, goldenrod, lime, olive, and blonde
Now we come to orange
Gotta rhyme something with orange
'Cept that nothing rhymes with orange
Think that I'll just forget 'bout orange, so
Suck it up, brush it off, break it down, here we go
Getting' back to that drawing board
Tear it up, scrub it off, take it down, gotta go
Get on back to that drawing board
Fold 'em up, shrug it off, whoa. Let it go
Rub it on, wet paint, war paint, get it
Pick it up, takin' too slow. Time to go
Hey yo, why aren't you ready?
One, two, three, four
She'll give you to the count of four, then
Five, six, seven
She'll keep on counting up to seven
Eight, nine, ten, nine, eight, seven
Take it right back down to seven
Wait! How? Wait! What? No!
Time, outta time, now she's drawin' the line
Girls, what is she made of?
Sugar, spice, and
Oooh, none of them tails, love
She's everything
Nice! And if you're askin' her name (what?)
I will tell you her name (what?)
My Sugar Riot! Riot!
Ring-a-roses
Palette full of pain and poison
On your toes, yeah
Keepin' you guessin'. What?
Ring-a-roses
Heart is skippin', mind is trippin'
Round and around and around, yo
Round and around and around until you're down
We all fall down
Round and round and round
We all fall down
Round and round and round
We all fall down
Round and round and
Ashes to ashes to ashes
Ashes to ashes to ashes
On the wall
The writing's on the wall, yo
She's off the wall, yo
This kid is off the wall, yo
Paint a picture
We're gonna paint you a picture
Truth straight from fiction
And this is what we'll start with
Think you can win this war
You're takin' her threats lightly
Put down them sticks, them swords
Her pen is far more mighty
Avant-garde, throw up your guard, no she won't draw a blank, no
Art and part, state of the art, it's time to roll it back, go
Suck it up, brush it off, break it down, here we go
Getting' back to that drawing board
Tear it up, scrub it off, take it down, gotta go
Get on back to that drawing board
Fold 'em up, shrug it off, whoa. Let it go
Rub it on, wet paint, war paint, get it
Pick it up, takin' too slow. Time to go
Hey yo, why aren't you ready? 
One, two, three, four
She'll give you to the count of four, then
Four, three, two, one
She'll count back down then just for fun and
One, two, three, four, five, seven
Left our six, plus five's eleven
Wait now! Wait! What? Oh!
Time, out of time, now she's nursery rhymin'
Girls what're we made of? (yeah!)
Sugar, spice, and
Oooh, not what they're made of
We're everything
NICE! And if you're askin' my name (what!?)
I will tell you my name (what!?)
I'm Sugar Riot! Riot!
Pick them pieces up
Ring-a-roses
Palette full of pain and poison
On your toes, yeah
Keepin' you guessin'. What?
Ring-a-roses
Heart is skippin', mind is trippin'
Round and around and around, yo
Round and around and around until you're down
We all fall down
Round and round and round
We all fall down
Round and round and round
We all fall down
Round and round and
Ashes to ashes to ashes
Ashes to ashes to DUST

Power  - Summon magical paints he can use to create various magical effects and summons. Also likely to be a straight summon song for Sugar Riot if he ever meets her.
