Cloud Strife Songtext

So you wanna know my story huh?
Alright

They all up on they high horse like equestrians.
A lifetime ago we used to be the best of friends.
But things change, now I′m feelin' stressed again.
I got my sword leveled up, let the quest begin.


I was born in the sewage of the slums in war time.
Sought peace, but no one ever knew if it would come.
We were war buddies, workin′ on the same team
with the same goal, but with slightly different means.
When he hit the scene, he demmanded respect.
He needed somethin' done then every hand hit the deck.
Took the first shot, then nobody fired back.
He took no crap, I admit I admired that.
'Cause dude was a legend, his story spun far and wide
and it scarred my pride down to my little heart inside.
I took every mission I could accept
to make my mark, cause I wanted the power and respect
that he had, but alas, I was just a plebian.
Then the war ended before I could get to leave again.
Then I heard he found some documents
about his true origin and then he got convinced
that he was not of this earth, bred to be a soldier.
The spawn of an alien life form, Jenova.
Infused with the cells while still in the womb.
Heard the news and he was hell-bent on sealin′ the doom
of anybody who participated.
Burned the whole town down, killed millions, and everything was dissipated.
I gave chase, and the saga begun.
He released Jenova, then they both united as one.

Ugh!

They all up on they high horse like equestrians.
A lifetime ago we used to be the best of friends.
But things change, now I′m feelin' stressed again.
I got my sword leveled up, let the quest begin.

So Tifa tells me she can reconstruct the pieces of my past.
Fill in the gaps, ′cause I'm sick of wearin′ a mask.
The framerate's mad spotty like a PS1.
The story's kinda cloudy, almost like my namesake.
But wait - it turns out that what was in my mind
was a memory, a dream, that wasn′t even mine?
This can′t be, I close my eyes it looks so clear to me.
Apparently nothin' is the way it appears to be.
So in fact I was kidnapped by Shinra.
Beat down and tortured so I couldn′t remember.
But now I'm hot like a scalding pot, all of us were enhanced.
Mako showers and Jenova cell implants.
Crazy part is that the cells duplicate
information, so what was in my head was a mistake.
The man that I see in my flashbacks in fact isn′t me.
That would be my best friend, Zack.
My confidant who died in battle.
Asked me to live for him, and yeah I must've agreed to.
So I′ve lived a double life for the past five years
and told lies to people who believed you.
But I was manipulated by Seph'.
Gotta find him and kill him and I'll do it myself
if I have to. Then I meet a group of survivors.
What they lack in skill, they make up for in desire.
Now we on a quest to unlock the mystery.
We mount up, and the rest is history.

Ugh!
