Lyrics
And all my hopes and dreams
Aren’t for anyone
I keep them safe and sound
And all these victories
Not yours anymore
But can you hear me now?
The dead stop dreaming
Ill set ablaze this life
Your shadow keeps me bright
So try and stop me
Or suffocate this light
Because I can burn all night
Until my heart stops beating
Youll never hear me say
I’m backing down
If I say,
Its lost its meaning
If I cant find my way
Its over now
But I won’t
Walk away
Chorus:
’til the day
(Whoa-oh, whoa-ooh)
Im never backing down
(Whoa-oh, whoa-ooh)
And hear me say
(Whoa-oh, whoa-ooh)
Ill keep it safe and sound
(Whoa-oh, whoa-ooh)
Ill keep it safe and
This hopeless feeling
This fear of falling down
But Im not crashing now
For all this bleeding
It wasnt worth the sound
A million screaming out
And still
The end comes reeling
The curtain calls my name
Im not afraid
And I know
You may not miss me
But I am not ashamed
The choice I made
But I cant
Let this go
(Repeat Chorus)
Like a crashing car
Or dying star
That’s racing to the ground
Like the final words
Of the passengers
When the engines giving out
Will the world
Watch us burn
End Chorus:
’til the day
(Whoa-oh, whoa-ooh)
Im never backing down
(Whoa-oh, whoa-ooh)
Just hear me say
(Whoa-oh, whoa-ooh)
Ill keep it safe and sound
(Whoa-oh, whoa-ooh)
Keep it safe and sound
(Whoa-oh, whoa-ooh)
Keep it safe and sound
(Whoa-oh, whoa-ooh)
Keep it safe and sound
(Whoa-oh, whoa-ooh)
Keep it safe and sound
(Whoa-oh, whoa-ooh)
Keep it safe and sound

hmmm I was pretty close…
And all these victories
Not yours anymore
Thats not very good english lol
I would blame Gerard Way for that. :p
Go Quexinos!
If you read it from Sephiroth’s point of view, it looks like it might be a pretty good song.
I can’t believe no one’s responded to this, but if you read the lyrics carefully, things like all those victories aren’t yours anymore, all my hopes and dreams aren’t for anyone, and try an stop me can relate to Sephiroth’s side of the story. The one that’s really cool is the dead stop dreaming. It coincides a bit Sephiroth’s unwillingness to die. 🙂
Finally! I’ve been trying to work out the lyrics for a while now…
And boy was I pretty far off.
Hrm, I actually prefer Calling even thought it is catchy. I thought Calling displayed Cloud’s feelings better and I miss Aerith there. She looked so beautiful among the flowers. D:
This is ok though..
Man, why oh why the hell is this song not on the US release?! Whatever. Now I will be importing the Japanese version even though I still do not have a Bluray disc player and sold my PS3. This song really speaks to me, though. Honestly.
its not “And all these victories
Not yours anymore”
its “and i hope this picture is not yours anymore”
its “a million screaming loud” not “A million screaming out”

How dare you doubt the great Quexinos and her awesome abilities to find lyrics of awesomeness!
You will bow before my greatness like any other mortal! DO IT NOW!
please?
lol Quex. XD
That said, yes, do as X-Soldier said and check Kyosuke Himuro’s own website. You’ll find the lyrics are the same. 🙂
i think i got the band wrong, i think i was thimking of a nother band because i went 2 an official site and the lyrics i posted were the same, sorrys
I’m pretty sure that you’re thinking of the same song. It’s likely not transcribed correctly, because if it was that close from another band, it’s likely plagiarism. If you can post a link to the site that you got the lyrics from, we can verify the authenticity of the site / posted lyrics.

it was my friends site, even though i begged him 2 keep it he took the song down 4 some reason sorry by the way is it pro nounced GER-ARD way or GERAD
Yeah, most likely your friend’s band was just performing the song. Maybe even singing the lyrics wrong.
And I do believe his name is pronounced exactly how it is spelled. XD
i read that in the “epilogue” part of acc (the part where cloud was somewhat travelling through different landscapes), that you can see aerith standing in the field of flowers while this ‘safe and sound’ was playing…
i watched the whole part over and over, but still can’t seem to catch a glimpse of aerith… is she really there??
No but during the credits on just Advent Children (no Complete) she was standing in a flower field.
i stink. i sang this song for a class contest and totally messed up the lyrics! i am such a dork….i still got a 38 out of forty cuz luckily no-one knew the song! my friend got 40 so i lost…. 🙁
I just looove this song <333 i know it by heart ^^
awesome song
it’s an awesome song rock on!
It’s an awesome song ‘cept I keep hearing We’re the world/Watch us fall instead of Will the world/watch us burn……(BAD ears! *shakes finger*)
How’s it going, you really saved me a lot of time with all the information you have on this website. I found exactly what I was searching for thank you
THIS SONG ROCKS!! I LIKE IT!! 🙂
I knew it! I kept searching for the lyrics online and they kept giving me a bunch of crap. Darn the internet…
Anyways, this is awesome. Thanks for posting it.
Glad we could help out.
On a related note, this is available for purchase online, although I still don’t think that there’s ever been an official announcement as to why it’s not been released in the US. :\
