B) Updates

v1.1 - bunches of typos fixed (included an omitted word in Wings) and updated
      the Introduction and Explanation.
v1.0 - created guide (put previously transcribed songs into one file)


***********************************************************
C) Introduction and Explanation
********************************
Wild ARMs 3 has 3 in-game vocal songs - Advanced Wind, Only The Night Sky
Knows, and Wings.  Between the Japanese and US versions, there are 5 versions
each of Advanced Wind and Night Sky, and 2 versions of Wings. Sound
confusing? It gets better.  The Japanese game and OST contain 4 tracks each
of Advanced Wind and Night Sky (whistle, 2 different Japanese versions, and
an English version) and one track of Wings in Japanese.  The US release also
has a similar lineup, but the English versions of Advanced Wind and Night Sky
were rewritten and resung by someone who is actually fluent in English (^_^)
and the Japanese Wings was replaced with an English version.  As expected,
the US English songs are NOT on the OST and the OST English songs are
similarly NOT in the US release.

The guide will ONLY contain the 5 WA3 songs in English, because I cannot read
or transcribe Japanese to save my life.  These songs can also now be found at
www.animelyrics.com  The two OST lyrics were taken directly from the CD insert
(so any grammar or lack-of-making-sense errors are correct, so to speak...) but
the 3 US songs I transcribed by ear. Therefore some words of the former may be
incorrect but are VERY close to the sound of the line and do make enough sense
in context with the rest of the song.  If you believe I made a glaring error in
the latter set feel free to email me at [email protected] but due to the
nature of these lyrics, unless your correction makes perfect sense at an ambiguous
part or it's a correction of plurals, little words, spelling or contractions,
chances are I will not change it.  But who knows.

Enough of that, onto the lyrics!

D) US In-Game Lyrics
********************
Advanced Wind - US English Version
----------------------------------
A change in time
I finally made up my mind
I raise my hand from beneath the shifting sand
And embrace the winds of change

Suddenly, everything is up to me
The pages turn, flashing full of memories
I can see all too clear
The time has come to face my fear

And there's a fire burning in my heart
Just shine when all is torn apart
And I will make it through this desert storm
Safe and warm

My shield is strong
I'll take my chances here and now
Bring on the fight
I'll find a way to win somehow
No, tomorrow's no regret
I'll risk it all for this brand new day


Only The Night Sky Knows - US English Version
---------------------------------------------
I can still recall the smell of smoke from rusting guns
Lying here beneath this starry desert sky
Tired from the fight, I fall into a slumber
With the memories of days gone by
What was the name I called out in my dream?
Guess for now only heaven knows


Wings - English Version
-----------------------
All across this threatening sky
Full of tales of danger and war
I heard the thunder, a distant thunder
And the wind begins to take form

Rushing through, it breaks through the clouds
Calling out to time's open door
The scars of history, will be a mystery
Spread your wings, it's time to soar

And with the guiding hand we'll fly
Back through the corridors of time
To find the key and unlock our destiny
Spread your wings
Together tattered wings unfurl
Through freedom, changing our world
With the bell of the owl to follow secure

In the dark, unable to see
I stood tall and dared to dream
To find the answer, just one answer
And the truth will lead us as one

We will ride through the eye of the storm
Holding on to hearts beating strong
Keeping our eyes on, a new horizon
The tides of war will turn with our soul

(Chanting of main theme)

I recall the days of value
All around with safety and peace
How could I know then, there'd be a time when
All would fall at the foot of a beast

On the day we took to the skies
Full of hopes so anxious to fly
We soared higher, and never tired
With the fire deep in our right

And with the guiding hand we'll fly
Back through the corridors of time
To find the key and unlock our destiny
Spread your wings
Together tattered wings unfurl
Through freedom, changing our world
When the smoke fills the air, I will be there

In the face of disaster we stand
Racing far, we'll fight and defend
The growls of thunder, an angry thunder
Testing those who built on the sand

They can try to tear off my wings
But they can't erase all my dreams
We'll fight for freedom, and beat the system
This is our turn, this is our time

E) OST Lyrics
*************
Advanced Wind - English Version (Disc 4 01)
-------------------------------------------
Although it was the decision I made myself
Just I could not carry up what I wanted
It's because of my weakness?

Suddenly I feel the wind is inspiring
I'm sure it's from the depth of my good memory
"Don't look away from hardships
You should start stepping out"

Then all my memories are slipping out
Begin to shine on my heart
Where my tomorrow was almost vanishing out

Killing myself does not mean the real courage
Pulling the trigger has nothing to do with the strength
I've made up my mind right now
I'm just going to take this path


Only the Night Sky Knows - English Version (Disc 4 09)
------------------------------------------------------
My memories of the rusted smell of the guns
Keeping my both hands on all the time
I just want to fall into a silent slumber
Under blinking stars of wilderness
The name I happened to call out in my dream
Only the night sky knows who that was

F) Closing
**********
There are a few parts that were hard to make out:
 -last line on first refrain of Wings
 -last word before second refrain of Wings
 -2nd to last line on US Advanced Wind
Any corrections on those that make sense are more than welcome, in addition
to any other spots.  Any other questions on the lyrics, Wild ARMs music or
comments are also welcome at [email protected]

Thanks go out to Sony, Media Vision, Contrail, and all the other cool
people that brought Wild ARMs to life.  Thanks to me (silentduelist, Chris,
whatever you feel like calling me) for writing out the lyrics and putting
them all together.
