"Otherworld"

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!
Theatrhythm Final Fantasy description.

"Otherworld" is a song from Final Fantasy X. It was composed by Nobuo Uematsu, arranged by The Black Mages' rhythm guitarist Michio Okamiya, with lyrics by Takuya Sugimoto and performed by Bill Muir. It plays during the opening FMV and a looped version plays during the battle against Braska's Final Aeon.

Lyrics

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, into the sand, and the dust, and the sky

Go now, there's no better plan than to do or to die

Free me, pray to the fayth, in the face of the light

Feed me, fill me with sin, and get ready to fight

You know 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

Trivia

At the end of the original version, Muir is heard screaming "Straight edge! Till I die! Lost Cause!", a reference to his subculture, his band, and his last recorded album with it. This is followed by a repeated scream of "Blitz, Blitz, Blitz, let's Blitz!" as the song fades out, referring to Blitzball.
A common misconception is that the German band Rammstein is the performer of this song.
