[bnewman]

A lyric for the opening scene of Final Fantasy IV

lyrics by Benjamin Newman

ttto: the Red Wings' theme from Final Fantasy IV by Nobuo Uematsu

listen to this song

 

/ A5 - FG A5 / - - F G / A - - - / /

 

Red Wings soaring over the ocean

Flying... up into the sky as high as the sun!

(Many the deeds that the Red Wings have done!)

(Many the battles the Red Wings have won!)

 

Show no fear, defenders of Baron:

Dauntless, even in these days, when monsters increase!

(Ours is a mission that never shall cease!)

(Fighting for Baron until there is peace!)

 

/: Gm - - - / Bbm - - - :/ A5!! ! ... /

 

Monsters approaching!  Sound the alert!

Power to cannons!  Bogeys to port!

Tracking the target... aiming to kill...

Target acquired -- fire at will!

SHOW NO FEAR!  Sound the All Clear!

 

As the world goes down into darkness,

Baron rises on these wings to conquer the sky!

(Wherever they're needed the Red Wings will fly!)

(Do as we're ordered and never ask why!)

Bright the crystals we go to gather:

Water... Fire, Air and Earth... to open the way!

(Though we have doubts of our duty today,)

(Baron commanded and so we obey!)

 

Near the objective, preparing to land.

Ground crew to stations... at my command!

Lower the anchors... cables attached.

Engines to neutral... open the hatch.

Airship... down!  Now to the town!
