I think about angeal and what he used to say to me
Embrace your dreams, it sucks that yesterday just had to leave
All of us with a taste that was so bittersweet
But, my beliefs will always stay with me and keep me inner peace
One day I'm gonna be a hero, everybody will see
Sephiroth won’t be the only one praised in the streets
I'll be the strongest, fastest, and all that

The villains who come challenging the weak will just fall flat
My name is zack, I'm finally first class in fact
I fought in wars against the wutaI, when things went outta whack
With genesis in the war against him and his clones
Lots of soldier operatives left, but on my own
I held on strong to my loyalty and my duty
Despite my loss, I strived to keep peace from the unruly
And now off to new horizons, my new assignment
Is nibelheim, Cloud’s home, he must be excited

But there is something about this job is a little bit creepy
Catch some rest up at the inn cause I'm a little but sleepy
My friend, Cloud is acting strange, and he seems he
Is trying to avoid being seen but believe me
After we found makanoids at the reactor
Sephiroth disappeared for days, not sure what he was after
But I could swear from the mansion you could hear his laughter
So, I sought him out and then he conjured up disaster
He destroyed the town, how could he act so proud
Where is he now? I head to the reactor with Cloud
We confront him for causing such tragic destruction
I black out and next thing, I'm in a tube or somethin’
And now I'm getting messages of my death/
Cloud's knocked out with Mako poisoning in his breath
Wait, I check the date, man - I can’t be seeing straight
According to these articles, it’s been 4 years since today
I have to go see Aerith and keep my friend safe
It doesn’t matter what happens, or what gets in my way
I'll be the hero that I can be I'll save the day
We’ll make it to midgar, and everything will be okay
