One-Winged Angel

"One-Winged Angel" (片翼の天使 "Katayoku no Tenshi", An Angel With a Wing on One Side) is the theme that plays during the final battle of Final Fantasy VII. The name of the song refers to Safer Sephiroth's single black wing. The track has since become Sephiroth's theme song, unseating what was originally his theme song "Those Chosen by the Planet". To that extent, the song and its title have become synonymous with Sephiroth, and in later appearances he has possessed a single wing to draw back to the song.

"One-Winged Angel" was included as an orchestrated rearrangement in the album Final Fantasy VII: Reunion Tracks. It was later included in the soundtrack of Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children as a symphonic metal rearrangement with the performance of The Black Mages.

Lyrics

The verses for the Reunion Tracks version were taken from the medieval poetry compilation Carmina Burana.

"Advent: One Winged Angel"

Advent: One-Winged Angel

In the commentary for Advent Children, Nobuo Uematsu comments that the previous orchestration never really quite felt right to him and, by contrast, the combination of orchestra and metal sounds seemed to be what the piece really required all along. Uematsu also noted various rock bands that had performed their songs with an orchestra, and failed, and stated that because "One-Winged Angel" was written for neither an orchestra or a rock band, the two styles ending up meshing together well for the song's remix.

The lyrics of the Advent Children version were completely different from those of the Reunion Tracks. There is a dispute concerning the official translation of the Latin lyrics and another, more literal translation of the first and last stanzas. Whether or not the official translation of the song conveys the same message as its literal translation is entirely a matter of opinion.

Lyrics

Other Appearances

The World's Enemy

An arranged version is heard in Kingdom Hearts and Kingdom Hearts II, if the player wishes to fight in the optional battles against Sephiroth, where it plays in the background during the entire fight.

Yet another arrangement, called "The World's Enemy", plays during the end of Sephiroth's flashback FMV sequence and the Sephiroth Boss Battle in Crisis Core -Final Fantasy VII-.
