Maybe I'm a Lion

"Maybe I'm a Lion" is a track from Final Fantasy VIII that plays only during the battle with Ultimecia's junctioned form with Griever. A fan favorite due in part to the power metal arrangement that was featured in The Black Mages' second album, "Maybe I'm a Lion" has since become unofficially Squall Leonheart's theme by fans. It was composed by Nobuo Uematsu

Alexander O. Smith acts as guest "vocalist" for this arrangement. The song's title, vocalized at its beginning, are the only lyrics in the song and were performed by Smith himself.
