Tsukiru (尽きる), often translated as "Exhausted", is the Japanese version of Drakengard's main theme, composed by Nobuyoshi Sano. It plays during the B ending credits. A rearranged version of the song plays during the credits of Drakengard 3's C ending, called Tsukiru 3.
This version is performed by Furiae's voice actress, Eriko Hatsune. The lyrics were written by Sawako Natori; the words are meant to express Furiae's thoughts during the events of Drakengard. Its English counterpart slightly changes the lyrics' meanings and, while it is relatively close to the original lyrics, it is generally seen as the milder version with the Japanese fanbase.

English Translation[]
- In the crimson night, the bird sleeps
- unleashed to the sky from the window of dreams
- A lullaby wafts from its lips
- Instinctively it flies to barren grasslands
- "My prayers always center on your face
- Paint away my soul to carry my feelings away
- I give birth to these wings to run away from love
- The angel's price is paid, I burn atop a bizarre plate, burn to nothingness, burn away"
- Time heralds in the blackened morning
- Corrupted blood returns to the forest
- Darkness digs everywhere thinkable
- to arrive at last to the guillotine
- "My prayers always center on your face
- Paint away my soul to carry my feelings away
- I give birth to these wings to run away from love
- The angel's price is paid, I burn atop a bizarre plate, burn to nothingness, burn away"
