Final Fantasy VII Before Crisis - Theme Of Elfe (Devil)

Theme of Elfe (Devil)

"Theme of Elfe" is a musical piece in Before Crisis -Final Fantasy VII-. It is the leitmotif of Elfe, composed and arranged by Takeharu Ishimoto.

The song features three versions, "Theme of Elfe" which contains no vocals (with acoustic guitar performed by Atsushi Suganuma), and remixed vocalized versions known as "Theme of Elfe (Angel)" and "Theme of Elfe (Devil)". The lyrics were written by WAKAKO who also performed the vocals. "Theme of Elfe (Angel)" was arranged by Minoru Tsuchihashi.

The three versions were released on the Before Crisis -Final Fantasy VII- & Last Order -Final Fantasy VII- Original Soundtrack. The latter two can be found in the Bonus Tracks.

While both the "Angel" version and the "Devil" version shares the same lyrics, the composition between the two differs; "Angel" is lighter while "Devil" is darker and more grunge-oriented.

Lyrics[]

The official lyrics were released on the The Death March album.

The Sky is falling The Stars are unclear
Sometimes I wonder where I belong
Please take me back when the stars all aliened[note 1] and shined
I try to keep myself alive
Please don't predict my future
Be strong enough to live your life
Don't look back
Keep your eyes wide open and see
Cast aside all doubts
Fly me to the sky
No time to waste
Fly into your dream and future
I need to go on and on
Never runaway from the true
Fly me in the sky
I need to go on and on
How can you see me, inside of my heart?
Sometimes I'm afraid to realize
Someone is dying, someone is killing
How can we build a peaceful world?
Be strong enough to live your life
Don't look back
Keep your eyes wide open and see
Cast aside all doubts
Fly me to the sky
No time to waste
Fly into your dream and future
I need to go on and on
Never runaway from the true
Fly me in the sky
I need to go on and on
Fly
Never runaway from the true
Fly me in the sky
I need to go on and on
