    The lyrics of this song are so insanely deep because the theme of the game (while very anti-war) is very: “Choose violence when you have no choice, choose overwhelming violence.”

      @THE LORDE it’s written at a high level that most videos games just aren’t. The fact that some people have unironically said that “Raiden should joint Armstrong” missed the actual content of his speech. They got pulled up by the clear propaganda aspect of it and the reason Raiden doesn’t is because he was one of those “weak” people and he’s heard it all before.
      Raiden/Jack one of the best written characters in the history of video games.

      @@matthewwolfe9417 Eh, not quite. At the end Raiden realizes that he saw himself as one of the weak people while Armstrong saw Raiden as always having been strong. Raiden saw weakness and strength in external terms: oppressed and oppressor, small and large. Armstrong saw strength in terms of character and soul: Raiden didn't break, didn't fall apart, managed to claw his way back to sanity from being a child soldier. To Armstrong, the weak are those who harm others in order to sustain their decadence, those who exploit others. In Raiden's eyes, I'm sure that he would see the military-industrial complex as the strong oppressing the weak, while to Armstrong it's the weak oppressing the strong, keeping them from being able to exercise their inner strength. It's why in the end Raiden is using Armstrong's own lines, and why the argument finishes with Raiden simply declaring that he'll kill Armstrong: he didn't have a rebuttal. Armstrong may have died, but he won the argument, and passed his values on to Raiden.

    Trying to make history
    But who's to judge
    The right from wrong
    When our guard is down I think we'll both agree
    That violence breeds violence
    But in the end it has to be this way

    And so many have burned
    But nobody is to blame
    Yet staring across this barren wasted land
    I feel new life will be born beneath the blood-stained saaaaaaaaaaaaaand!

    You followed your wrath
    It seems we're both the same
    The world has turned
    And so many have burned
    It's high time we take the blame!
    Yet staring across this barren wasted land
    I know new life will be born beneath the blood-stained saaaaaaaaaaaaaand!
    Beneath the blood-stained saaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand!

      Besides, the point is more that a group of dedicated writers is just ludicrous. It's infinitely more likely that someone in the band, probably the singer, did this, and they didn't just ask someone else to give them new ideas. These guys have soul.

    “So many have burned, Its high time we take the blame” is an insanely good addition to this already amazing cover, considering Raiden and Armstrong *both* have somewhat good intentions and *both* go about them in ways that put the world in harms way, Armstrong obviously more than Raiden. Really drives home that this song is from both Raiden and Armstrongs perspectives. The extra verse is an example of what really smart artistic liberty looks like, great job👏 .

    Wow, that encore hits hard. I've always interpreted the original lyrics being about how Raiden is coming to terms with the fact that he might be the same as Armstrong, yet pushing forward despite the uncertainty. The additional lyrics have a really fatalistic touch, more reminiscent of credits Raiden rather than Armstrong-fight Raiden, acknowledging all the things he hadn't quite come to terms with during the battle. _There's no right no wrong_ , _It's high time we take the blame_ and _I _*_know_*_ new life will be born_ are all great spins on the original lyrics that flip the whole theme of the song on its head.
    Really, what a great cover!

    It's crazy because at some points in the song it seemed like they weren't doing anything crazy with the vocals to stay on the "safe" side-- but then she hit "BENEATH THE BLOOD STAINED SAND" with SUCH intensity, and it was FANTASTIC. Seriously gave me chills. Really hope we get to hear more of that all-out, risk-taking earnestness going forward.

    i must say the lyrics later in the song, near the end, is a nice change, yet still in line with what the song itself was trying to say
    "you are just like me, trying to make history, but who's to judge, the right from wrong, when our gaurd is down i think we'll both agree that violence breeds violence"
    the original lyrics are a good view of human nature, who gets to decide who's in the right? maybe no one is; but acts of violence can only lead to more acts of violence
    "standing here i realize; theres no right - no wrong; everyone sings their song" that is exactly what i meant; perhaps theres no right or wrong, we simply 'sing our song'
    "- i think we'll both agree: that hatred breeds hatred" indeed, violence and hatred tend to go hand in hand and can both be self perpetuating

      Tipo no começo "Standing here i realize you are just like me" (bem aqui eu percebi que você é igual à mim).
      O que é muito legal, já que eles dois realmente se identificavam e ambos tinham o mesmo objetivo que era acabar com as guerras, a diferença é que eles usavam métodos diferentes para isso, e por isso precisaram se enfrentar.
