about

Based on the character, Jack from Metal Gear Rising

lyrics

Cut from the same cloth as every monster
That's bringing the world to its knees
I'll do whatever it takes to be free [of this torture]

My friends and my family helped me forget this devil inside
I was not designed to fear death
But pain is why I fight

Destructive by design
Constructive by choice
I will not believe the lies and tales
For your memory, how can I fail?

I may no longer feel,
But my heart is still real
Nothing will stop me
This is my rising

Put together piece by piece,
like a sinister puzzle
I'll show you that my big picture
is more than flesh and metal

Adrift without a challenge
Cut loose without a keeper
They've sown their own fate
And I am just the reaper

Is this the will of a people!?

Would you call me opportunistic?
Enabler of war?
I protect the weak.
I'm not a monster like before.

Liberator, I choose the needs of the few
The wind blows, the rain falls.
The strong prey, and the weak make do.

Barricade the mistakes I made
Enterprising soldier of fortune
This sword is a means to an end
To protect the ones you'd prey upon

You say war is a cruel master, but an effective teacher
Sure as the sun will rise, I won't let this slaughter continue!

Cut from the same cloth as every monster
That's bringing the world to its knees
I'll do whatever it takes to be free [of this torture]

My friends and my family helped me forget this devil inside
I was not designed to fear death
But pain is why I fight

I can no longer see
How one sword keeps another in its sheath
Nothing will stop me
This is my rising

It feels as real as anything else
I'm fighting for reasons I understand
Causes you don't believe in

Just because it's legal, that doesn't make it right
Ideals that give life meaning
Are the only things for which to die

Is this the will of a people?
