Between the Japanese and US versions, there are 5 versions each of Advanced Wind and Night Sky, and 2 versions of Wings. Sound confusing? It gets better. The Japanese game and OST contain 4 tracks each of Advanced Wind and Night Sky (whistle, 2 different Japanese versions, and an English version) and one track of Wings in Japanese. The US release also has a similar lineup, but the English versions of Advanced Wind and Night Sky were rewritten and resung by someone who is actually fluent in English (^_^) and the Japanese Wings was replaced with an English version. As expected, the US English songs are NOT on the OST and the OST English songs are similarly NOT in the US release. The guide will ONLY contain the 5 WA3 songs in English, because I cannot read or transcribe Japanese to save my life. These songs can also now be found at www.animelyrics.com The two OST lyrics were taken directly from the CD insert (so any grammar or lack-of-making-sense errors are correct, so to speak...) but the 3 US songs I transcribed by ear. Therefore some words of the former may be incorrect but are VERY close to the sound of the line and do make enough sense in context with the rest of the song. If you believe I made a glaring error in the latter set feel free to email me at perisie@optonline.net but due to the nature of these lyrics, unless your correction makes perfect sense at an ambiguous part or it's a correction of plurals, little words, spelling or contractions, chances are I will not change it. But who knows. Enough of that, onto the lyrics! *********************************************************** D) US In-Game Lyrics ******************** Advanced Wind - US English Version ---------------------------------- A change in time I finally made up my mind I raise my hand from beneath the shifting sand And embrace the winds of change Suddenly, everything is up to me The pages turn, flashing full of memories I can see all too clear The time has come to face my fear And there's a fire burning in my heart Just shine when all is torn apart And I will make it through this desert storm Safe and warm My shield is strong I'll take my chances here and now Bring on the fight I'll find a way to win somehow No, tomorrow's no regret I'll risk it all for this brand new day Only The Night Sky Knows - US English Version --------------------------------------------- I can still recall the smell of smoke from rusting guns Lying here beneath this starry desert sky Tired from the fight, I fall into a slumber With the memories of days gone by What was the name I called out in my dream? Guess for now only heaven knows Wings - English Version ----------------------- All across this threatening sky Full of tales of danger and war I heard the thunder, a distant thunder And the wind begins to take form Rushing through, it breaks through the clouds Calling out to time's open door The scars of history, will be a mystery Spread your wings, it's time to soar And with the guiding hand we'll fly Back through the corridors of time To find the key and unlock our destiny Spread your wings Together tattered wings unfurl Through freedom, changing our world With the bell of the owl to follow secure In the dark, unable to see I stood tall and dared to dream To find the answer, just one answer And the truth will lead us as one We will ride through the eye of the storm Holding on to hearts beating strong Keeping our eyes on, a new horizon The tides of war will turn with our soul (Chanting of main theme) I recall the days of value All around with safety and peace How could I know then, there'd be a time when All would fall at the foot of a beast On the day we took to the skies Full of hopes so anxious to fly We soared higher, and never tired With the fire deep in our right And with the guiding hand we'll fly Back through the corridors of time To find the key and unlock our destiny Spread your wings Together tattered wings unfurl Through freedom, changing our world When the smoke fills the air, I will be there In the face of disaster we stand Racing far, we'll fight and defend The growls of thunder, an angry thunder Testing those who built on the sand They can try to tear off my wings But they can't erase all my dreams We'll fight for freedom, and beat the system This is our turn, this is our time *********************************************************** E) OST Lyrics ************* Advanced Wind - English Version (Disc 4 01) ------------------------------------------- Although it was the decision I made myself Just I could not carry up what I wanted It's because of my weakness? Suddenly I feel the wind is inspiring I'm sure it's from the depth of my good memory "Don't look away from hardships You should start stepping out" Then all my memories are slipping out Begin to shine on my heart Where my tomorrow was almost vanishing out Killing myself does not mean the real courage Pulling the trigger has nothing to do with the strength I've made up my mind right now I'm just going to take this path Only the Night Sky Knows - English Version (Disc 4 09) ------------------------------------------------------ My memories of the rusted smell of the guns Keeping my both hands on all the time I just want to fall into a silent slumber Under blinking stars of wilderness The name I happened to call out in my dream Only the night sky knows who that was *********************************************************** F) Closing ********** There are a few parts that were hard to make out: -last line on first refrain of Wings -last word before second refrain of Wings -2nd to last line on US Advanced Wind Any corrections on those that make sense are more than welcome, in addition to any other spots. Any other questions on the lyrics, Wild ARMs music or comments are also welcome at perisie@optonline.net Thanks go out to Sony, Media Vision, Contrail, and all the other cool people that brought Wild ARMs to life.
