The heavy metal song that begins FFX and ends Tidus's greatest battle. Its growling vocals and wild guitar would whip up a fighting spirit in anyone!

Lyrics[]
The official lyrics were released on Final Fantasy X: Original Soundtrack and Final Fantasy X HD Remaster Original Soundtrack.
- English
- Go now if you want it An otherworld awaits you
- Don't you give up on it You bite the hand that feeds you
- All alone cold fields you wander
- Memories of it cloud your sight
- Fills your dreams, disturbs your slumber
- Lost your way a fallen knight
- Hold now aim is steady An otherworld awaits you
- One thousand years--you ready? The otherworld it takes you
- Go go into the sand and the dust and the sky
- Go now no better plan than to do or to die
- Free me pray to the faith in the face of the light
- Feed me fill me with sin now get ready to fight
- You know you will
- You know you will
- You know you know you know you know that you will
- You know you know you know you know that you will
- You know you will
- Fight fight fight
- Fight fight fight
- Fight fight fight
- Fight fight fight
- Hope dies and you wander The otherworld it makes you
- Dreams they rip asunder The otherworld it hates you
- Free now ride up on it Up to the heights it takes you
- Go now if you want it An otherworld awaits you
- Japanese translation
- 望むなら、今行くんだ 別世界が待っている
- あきらめるんじゃない！ 飼主の手を噛んで
- 一人ぼっちで冷たい荒野をさまよい
- そいつ（別世界）の記憶が目を眩ませる
- 夢がそれでいっぱい、よく眠れない
- 道に迷い、落ちた騎士よ
- くじけるな 狙いを定めて 別世界が待っている
- 千年だぞ、準備できているかい？ 別世界が奪い取る
- 行け 行け 砂へ、塵へ、空へ
- 今行くんだ やるか死ぬか、それしかない
- 放せ 光の前で信仰に祈りをあげよ
- エサをくれ 俺を罪（シン）でいっぱいにさせて、闘いの準備せよ
- やるだろう？ （×5）
- 闘え 闘え 闘え （×4）
- 希望が死んで、迷う 別世界がおまえをそうさせる
- 夢は破けてなくなる 別世界はおまえを憎んでいる
- 自由になって乗って行けよ 絶頂まで行ける
- 望むなら今行くんだ 別世界が待っている
