.hack//Roots O.S.T. 2- King Knight (Ali Project)

The ending theme for the last episode of .hack//Roots, and is featured in the .hack//Roots O.S.T. 2 as track 1. The soundtrack also comes with .hack//Roots Special Edition Volume 6, I got it at fye =)

Here are the English translated lyrics:

In the distant past
These hand's weren't wings
But a pair of swords

On a bed of grass in the summer heat
We breathed silently
like beasts

Now in loneliness and emptiness
What do I do with my boiling blood?
If I yearn for true strength
Will I be led to it?

As my steel armor reflects, I go
Following the soldiers dreams
Remove the shield that covers the heart
The border that can't be seen is right there

Even if you hear a voice from the depths of hell
"The dawn is still far, far away"

Though stardust is untouchable
And the one I want
Will disappear tonight.

I search for the eternal tomorrow
It's a fleeting moment in time
Connected through eternity

There is no awe and reverence
What do I do with life's emptiness
True gentleness is not raised
In jealousy's cradle

Charge ahead as the black stallions neigh bravely,
You, the descendants of that heroic nation
Jumping over the high fence that surrounds us
The world we've yet to see is boundless

Songs pour from beyond the heavens
Receive my blessing

As my steel armor reflects, I go
Pursuing the warriors path
Let go of the bond that traps those thoughts
The muddy footprints will never dry

Charge ahead as the black stallions neigh bravely,
You, the forefathers of that graceful nation
Being thrown into endless battles,
Until your soul is possessed with the soul of truth

Another me calls out to myself saying,
"Everything begins from here"

It's taken me three years of practice to barely brush that octave. She's insane isn't she.

[MisdermeanerJ]

Thanks I really hate Haseo's expressions in the anime when he is the Terror of Death. Much better in the game.

@Hazeleyedtaurus Montagues and Capulets by Prokofiev.

Interesting how it is always Russians who make all the "evil" sounding songs...

[ryuol8]

@mige131 Thank you i was looking for that for a while!

[Hazeleyedtaurus]

I've been uber lost on trying to recall, but what is the classical piece that this is based off of in the first 00:36?

[yamibalus]

@GameboyKnight Yeah, and I can attest to the fact she can get that high without any assistance... saw ALI PROJECT in person at an anime Con a few years ago

The singing in the beginning is from the classical piece "Montagues and Capulets," FYI.
