"Unseen Intruder" (不可視の侵略者, Fukashi no Shinryakusha?) and its remix, "Unseen Intruder -Aggressive Mix-" (不可視の侵略者 -Aggressive Mix-, Fukashi no Shinryakusha -Aggressive Mix-?), are the location themes for Bresha Ruins 5 AF and 100 AF in Final Fantasy XIII-2. The latter plays when monsters appear on the field. The theme's name refers to Atlas, an invisible giant that appears to wreak havoc in the ruins due to a paradox.
The themes were composed and arranged by Naoshi Mizuta. In the Japanese version, the themes are accompanied with vocals from singer Aimee Blackschleger who also wrote the lyrics. "Unseen Intruder" was the first song Mizuta wrote for Final Fantasy XIII-2, and that it is a vocal song with rap makes it a piece that reflects director Motomu Toriyama's desire to have a sound that's unlike the typical Final Fantasy title.[1]
Both versions are the 1st and 2nd tracks of disc 2 on the Final Fantasy XIII-2: Original Soundtrack.
The North American and European versions removed the vocal work, making it a purely instrumental track, and added some extra instruments during the main choruses of the original song. In the localized version of the theme's Aggressive Mix, one lyric is included: "Time traveler". The localized version of the theme without lyrics was included on Final Fantasy XIII-2: Original Soundtrack PLUS, but only the normal mix. The Steam version of the title released for Microsoft Windows restored the lyrical version of the song, though only if the Japanese voiceover is selected when first starting the game. If the English voiceover is selected, the instrumental plays like it did on the Xbox 360 and PS3 versions.
Lyrics[]
The official lyrics were released on the Final Fantasy XIII-2: Original Soundtrack.
- A place in my heart
- A place in my mind
- A prayer for the souls
- That are running out of time
- A fight to live
- It's a fight to breathe
- It's the only way to be
- You be you
- And I'll be me
- Waking up in a world
- Where the warriors reign
- The pressures of life
- Drive you literally insane
- Don't be ashamed of your race
- Or the place that you're from
- Stand strong 'til the end
- 'Til the battle of the world is won.
- Can't stop , Won't Stop!
- 'Til the day that it's done
- The enemy is always there
- Let 'em come, let 'em come
- Who am I?
- What am I here for
- All these questions appear &
- Barge down the door
- I was here & there at a time,
- Then lost
- Every day I tell myself
- I won't die without a cause.
- Be bold I say be bold
- You don't really have to do
- What you've always been told
- Laws of old
- Share the gold
- Find the truth of Life unfold.
- People of the light come out
- Stand Tall
- Be strong through the night
- Come one, come all
- Warriors stay Loud
- Stay proud
- Don't shroud the features you are all blessed with
- Don't confine or define the reality we're all left with
- Making new lines, entwine the design
- Make your light shine
- enzymes in real time
- Watch your soul unwind.
- I walk through the terrain
- Where the ashes were before
- See it all come to life
- Now I know what the rain was for
- Now is the time
- Today is a new day
- No shadows of doubt
- All has been done away
- A feeling washes over me
- Make me into a higher being
- Wash away this anguish
- I am feeling
- Wash away this strife
- Keep me in the Light
- Until I am reborn
- Don't let me slip into the night
- Give me strength to carry on
- Show me the place I belong
- Right the wrong
- Insight to a better plan
- take control, take command.
