This is my lyric arrangement of the underground theme from Final Fantasy IV. In the game, the first cave you encounter is the Mist Cave, which is haunted by a Mist Dragon — and the Mist Dragon turns out to have a specific connection to the game's plot, which is not explored in the song. The song represents more of a legend that might have grown around the place, before the events of the game occur.

The chords, based on an analysis of a MIDI file, are as close as I could make them and unfortunately quite difficult to play on the guitar — F#m is, based on a computer search, the least-annoying key, and I still can't pull it off consistently. My recording is a cappella.

At the halfway point of Final Fantasy VI, the world is shattered by a magical cataclysm. This is a lyric for the musical theme that introduces the "World of Ruin", where the rest of the game takes place.

The town of Zozo in Final Fantasy VI is a terrible place. Everyone there always lies, even about the time of day, and then they try to beat you up. Enjoy your visit!

Based on a climactic scene from Final Fantasy IX, a game I have not played myself. That scene, and this piece of music, were recommended to me by a dear friend.
