Template:Listen ("Maybe I'm a Lion", 多分私はライオンです?, lit. Tabun watashi wa raiondesu) 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 studio album, "Maybe I'm a Lion" has since become unofficially Squall Leonhart'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.
