Zio's theme song

Zio's theme song

Postby Lyla2284 » Tue Apr 13, '10, 8:52 pm

This song is just perfect for battling Zio. Next time you fight him, listen to this song. The lyrics are below. It's called 'Blackened' by Metallica, and it suits Zio like a glove. Just listen to those guitars and drum riffs! Awesome stuff.

Blackened is the End
Winter it will send
Throwing all you see
Into obscurity

Death of Mother Earth
Never a rebirth
Evolution's end
Never will it mend

Never...!

FIRE
To begin whipping Dance of the Dead,
Blackened--is the--End!
To begin whipping Dance of the Dead,
Color our world Blackened!

Blistering of Earth
Terminate its worth
Deadly Nicotine
Kills what might have been

Callous frigid chill
Nothing left to kill
Never seen before
Breathing nevermore

Never...!

FIRE
To begin whipping Dance of the Dead,
Blackened--is the--End!
To begin whipping Dance of the Dead,
Color our world Blackened!

BLACKENED.

Opposition (opposition)
Contradiction (contradiction)
Premonition (premonition)
Compromise
Agitation (agitation)
Violation (violation)
Mutilation (mutilation)
Planet Dies
Darkest Color
Blistered Earth
True Death of Life
(termination) Termination
(expiration) Expiration
(cancellation) Cancellation human race
(expectation) Expectation
(liberation) Liberation
(population) Population laid to waste
See our Mother
Put to death
See our Mother die

Smouldering decay
Take your breath away
Millions of our years
In minutes disappears

Darkening in vain
Decadence remains
All is said and done
Never is the sun

Never...!

FIRE
To begin whipping Dance of the Dead,
Blackened
is the
end!
To begin whipping Dance of the Dead,
FIRE
Is the outcome of hypocrisy,
Darkest
poten-
-cy!
In the exit of hu-ma-ni-ty,
Color our world Blackened!

BLACKENED

I don't know about the tune (never heard this song before), but the words certainly do fit Zio perfectly. I'll have to look this one up sometime.

Good one Lyla . . . .

On that note, it seems like "King Nothing" is a good theme song for Lashiec.

edit: Here are the lyrics to "King Nothing" . . . VERY fitting for Lashiec.

Wish I may
Wish I might
Have this I wish tonight
Are you satisfied?
Dig for gold
Dig for fame
You dig to make your name
Are you pacified?

All the wants you waste
All the things you've chased

Then it all crashes down
And you break your crown
And you point your finger
But there's no one around

Just want one thing
Just to play the king
But the castle's crumbling
And you're left with just name

Where's your crown, King Nothing?
Where's your crown?

Hot and cold
Bought and Sold
A heart as hard as gold
Yeah! Are you satisfied?

Wish I might
Wish I may
You wish your life away
Are you pacified?

All the wants you've waste
All the things you've chased

Then it all crashes down
And you break your crown
And you point your finger
But there's no one around

Just want one thing
Just to play the king
But the castle's crumbled
And you're left with just a thing

Where's your crown, King Nothing?
Oh, where's your crown?

Huh!

(Spoken)
I wish I may
I wish I might
Have this wish I wish tonight
I want that star
I want it now
I want it all and I don't care how

Careful what you wish
Careful what you say
Careful what you wish
You may regret it
Careful what you wish
You just might get it

Then it all crashes down
And you break your crown
And you point your finger
But there's no one around

Just want one thing
Just to play the king
But the castle's crumbled
And you're left with just a name

Where's your crown, King Nothing?
Nothing

No you're just nothing
Where's your crown, King Nothing?
No you're just nothing
absolutely nothing

Off to never never land

Oh, very interesting! It would be neat to find songs that represent people, places and stories within Phantasy Star and make them into a soundtrack. I'll have to check this song out. Thanks!

Another one I thought of could be a battle tune for the feline like characters (Myau/Nei/Mieu/Rika) . . .

Here's another one. This one applies to all the ladies of Phantasy Star 3 when one of the Generation heroes leaves to be with another gal...

I Can't Be With You by the Cranberries

Lying in my bed again,
And I cry 'cause you're not here.
Crying in my head again,
And I know that it's not clear.

Put your hands, put your hands,
Inside my face and see that it's just you.
But it's bad and it's mad and it's making me sad,
Because I can't be with you.

Be with you. [X 4]
Be with you, be with you, baby, I can't be with you.

Thinking back on how things were,
And on how we loved so well.
I wanted to be the mother of your child,
And now it's just farewell.

Put your hands in my hands,
And come with me, we'll find another end.
And my head, and my head on anyone's shoulder,
'Cause I can't be with you.

Be with you. [X 4]
Be with you, be with you, baby, I can't be with you.

'Cause you're not here, you're not here,
Baby, I can't be with you.
'Cause you're not here, you're not here,
Baby, still in love with you.

Still in love with you. [X 6 ]

I had my ipod on shuffle while I was driving home and this one popped up. It makes me think of Zio as well (not the video, just the tune):
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5144-MQV0bU

Also, the song "Intermezzo" by JJ makes me think of the Motavian towns from PSIV:
http://s0.ilike.com/play#JJ:intermezzo: ... :m31477185
The link only has 30 seconds of song and it's not really the good part. It's on youtube, but I don't want to link it because for some reason there's talking at the beginning and someone uses the "b" word. I'm not sure if that's allowed here. I have the song downloaded and it doesn't contain that dialogue. Stupid youtube uploaders adding their own crap to songs. :grumpy:

Blackened by Metallica that’s an excellent song. It is very fitting for Zio. Many of the songs I listen too bring up characters from various games and anime in my head as well. :wink:

Well now, I think it's my turn for a lyrics/theme song for an event. I guess this song in my opinion could be summed up as how Chaz felt after a little something happened to a little certain someone. Yeah, you know...

"World So Cold" - 12 Stones

It starts with pain
Followed by hate
Fueled by the endless questions
No one can answer
A stain
Covers your heart
Tears you apart just like a sleeping cancer

Now I don't believe men are born to be killers
I don't believe this world can't be saved
How did you get here and when did it start
An innocent child with a thorn in his heart

What kind of world to we live in
Where love is divided by hate
Losing control of our feelings
We all must be dreaming this life away
In a world so cold

Are you sane? Where's the shame
A moment of time passes by
You cannot rewind
Who's blame and where did it start
Is there a cure for your sickness, have you no heart?

Now I don't believe men are born killers
I don't believe the world can't be saved
How did you get here and when did it start
An innocent child with a thorn in his heart

What kind of world do we live in
Where love is divided by hate
Losing control of our feeling
We're dreaming this life away

What kind of world do we live in
Where love is divided by hate
Selling our souls for no reason
We all must be dreaming this life away
In a world so cold

There's a sickness inside you that wants to escape
It's a feeling you get when you can't find your way
So how many times must you fall to your knees
Never, never, never, never, never do this again

It starts with pain followed by hate
Now I don't believe men are born to be killers
And I don't believe this world can't be saved

What kind of world do we live in
Where love is divided by hate
Losing control of our feelings
We're dreaming this life away

What kind of world do we live in
Where love is divided by hate
Selling our souls for no reason
We all must be dreaming this life away
In a world so cold

In a world so cold
A simple text based signature? That's impossible!
