    Default The Rose General

    Wasn't sure whether to put this here, or in VGMusic, but since this is IX only, I put it here, but of course if it gets moved, it gets moved.

    All I have to say is: Holy .

    Thanks to Sagensyg for the sig!

    The vocalist did this for a few other Final Fantasy songs if I recall properly. I remember getting linked to one of her songs on YouTube before.

    Edit: And I just realized the description links to that, so meh.

    Yup, that's Kate all right. I've been listening for a while now, since around Christmas. She's really amazing.

    That's beautiful. And so fitting for Beatrix, much more so than some of the other remixes I've heard of this song.

    Dangit, you're making me want to play IX again.

    Anyone have full lyrics for it? Can't quite understand a couple of them.
    My friend Delzethin is currently running a GoFundMe account to pay for some extended medical troubles he's had. He's had chronic issues and lifetime troubles that have really crippled his career opportunities, and he's trying to get enough funding to get back to a stable medical situation. If you like his content, please support his GoFundMe, or even just contribute to his Patreon.

    He can really use a hand with this, and any support you can offer is appreciated.

    her heart underneath
    cries quietly
    this part of me
    I choose not to see

    what lives must I take
    for fealty's sake?
    how much blood must stain
    this warrior's blade?

    war leaves its trail
    in moonlight so pale
    its shadows they flow
    in rivers, in rivers
    so put on my mask
    I'll go where they ask
    so I might once again see the
    Roses of May

    Staining my soul and stinging my eyes
    the red on my hands
    won't wash away, wash away
    no where to run from what I have done
    I'm no longer, no longer
    a Rose of May

    fate holds the blade before you
    mirrored in maiden's eyes
    far from myself I fly
    into the perilous skies
    and they said
    follow the blade before you
    fear fall and courage rise
    leave all your tears behind you
    far from where innocence lies

    Cage of the kings
    No need for wings
    So turn them to stone
    from roses to bone

    when you look at me
    what do you see?
    this costume I weave
    disfiguring me...

    (chorus A)

    Storm clouds are creeping closer
    danger is drawing near
    why am I not protecting all that
    I once held dear?
    and you said
    break free from all that holds you
    kings hand and maiden's tear
    run now into my arms
    together we'll conquer our fears

    Led here by fate
    No longer afraid
    So here now I lay
    My Roses of May

    Very nice, certainly something I can happily listen to and appreciate the beauty of. Lovely voice.
