Lyrics[edit]
悪のSoldier 貫いて
背中預けた 相棒へ
羽ばたけよ 不死鳥
己が剣の射す空へ Take Off!! 潜むSoldier 斬り裂いて
孤高宿敵 挑んでは
堕落した 世界へ
己が剣の射す空へ Fly Away!! aku no sorujā tsuranuite
senaka azuketa aibō e
habatakeyo fushichō
ono ga ken no sasu sora e teiku ofu!! hisomu sorujā kirisaite
kokō raibaru idonde wa
daraku shita sekai e
ono ga ken no sasu sora e furai awei!! I slash through the evil soldiers
Entrusting my back to my partner
Flap your wings, Phoenix
With my shining sword, I take off to the skies! I cleave up lurking soldiers
If my lone rival challenges me
My time has come to act
With my shining sword, I fly away to the skies! |
Trivia[edit]
- It is implied that Meta Knight is the singer.[1]
- Stylistically, the lyrics to the song feature English words mixed with Japanese writing, which is often done in Japanese media to set a trendy and modern tone. In particular, the word 宿敵 (shukuteki), meaning "old enemy" or "nemesis", is read as the English word "rival".
- The lyrics 堕落した 世界へ 機は熟したぞ ("My time has come to act / Against the corrupted world") are a reference to Meta Knight's dialogue in the opening cutscene of Revenge of Meta Knight:「機は熟した。いまこそ、我らが力を見せる時!だらくに満ちたプププランドを、この手で変えてくれる!」 ("The time has come. Now is the time to show our power! Dream Land has become corrupted, and we will change it with our own hands!") Note the shared usage of 堕落 ("corruption"), and also note that the line 機は熟した ("The time has come") is nearly identical other than adding the emphatic particle ぞ.
- In the English version of Revenge of Meta Knight, the equivalent dialogue is "The time has come. The time to show our power! Dream Land's lazy lifestyle will end! I will rule!"
