Redemption by Gackt

It's one of FF VII's (Dirge of Cerberus) OST. It's an image song of Vincent Valentine (correct if I wrong). This song is perform by Gackt. Here is the video:

I hope this video will always exist.

This song's PV have a gothic atmosphere. Gackt and his band using visual kei to make some dark, gothic ambient in this PV. Even so, it's good enough an I think it's fit to the music. The beat is various, from soft and calm, to hard and upbeat.

Here is the lyrics from ff7-doc.com:
Shizuka ni sora ni kaeru anata no sugata wo
what else can I do besides avenge you?
Namida ga kareru made zutto mitsumete ita

Afureru kanashimi wa kese nai kizuato ni
Wasure wa shinai to chikatta

Oreta tsubasa wo habatakase
Subete wo keshsite mise you
Itsu no hi ka owari wo mukaeru
Saigo no kane ga nari yamu made

you told me
live as if you were to die tomorrow
feel as if you were to be reborn now
face as if you were to live forever

Furueru yubi de akai namida wo nazotta
I had nothing to lose, nothing truth
Hakanai omoide ga yami ni ochite yuku

Saigo no hohoemi ga ukandewa kieru
Nukumori dake wo nokoshite

Yasashii dake no kotoba nara
Ima no boku wa iyase nai
Hateshi naku tsuduku tatakai ni
Kono mi wo subete sasageru dake

Itsuka wa kono sora ni daremo ga kaeru kara
Wakare no kotoba wa ira nai
make it up

Oreta tsubasa wo habatakase
Subete wo keshite mise you
Itsu no hi ka owari wo mukaeru
Saigo no kane ga nari yamu made

Yasashii dake no kotoba nara
Ima no boku wa iyase nai

Hateshi naku tsuduku tatakai ni
Kono mi wo subete sasageru dake

REDEMPTION...REDEMPTION...


(I've editted this lyrics a little bit from the real one).
And, from the same site, the translation version:

Your form which returns gently to heaven
What else can I do, besides avenge you?
I watched it for the longest time, until my tears dried up.

And the sorrow overflowing from the scar which can't be erased,
I swore that I would never forget it.

I'll flap my broken wings and erase it all some day, you'll see,
Until the last bell ringing the dirge completes.

You told me to live as if you were to die tomorrow.
Fail not and be what we were now
Face as if we want to have forever

Bright red tears traced by a trembling finger,
I had nothing to lose, nothing to lose
It crashes through the dark memories.

The last smile wavered, and disappears,
And the warmth is all that's left.

Your kind and gentle words can't heal me now,
This body's only dedicated to the never ending fight.

Because everyone returns to heaven, some day,
You'll never need to say goodbye.

Break out!
I'll flap my broken wings and erase it all some day, you'll see,
Until the last bell ringing the dirge completes.

Your kind and gentle words can't heal me now,
This body's only dedicated to the never ending fight.

REDEMPTION...REDEMPTION...

Well, it's a hard lyrics I think. But it also have some spirit on it. The various beat make it perfect.

OK! That's all! See ya next time ! :)

Thanks for your opinion ^ ^




If everyone's hands handle one of music instrument, I believe
there's no war in this world....
Because there's no hands can handle a weapon
to fight another one.
That's why I love music....
Because it's universal
and peaceful.
