Akuma No Ko -- ENGLISH METAL COVER FT.

Hello! I'm so excited to share with you all a collaboration that I've had in the works with the incredible ‪@JTriggerVideos‬ : An English metal cover of Akuma no Ko from Attack on Titan! I'm so delighted and honored that he allowed me to join him in this cover--it's some of the most fun I've had in a while, especially doing some filming irl! His arrangement really allowed me to bring out all the emotion that I felt this song deserves, and I genuinely couldn't be happier with this final result. Please go check out his channel--All of his work is incredible, and hearing his other covers was what made me feel like I just had to reach out for a collab! Hopefully you'll be seeing a lot more of him around my channel for more collabs in the future~ ^^

LYRICS:
Ideals of justice, a bullet of iron
With every shot, I close the distance to the hero
Cover your eyes shut, lay your hand on their face
Can you feel the demon inside, burning underneath the mask?

Do they make you happy, was I never enough?
The towering wall that stands between us looming higher,
So shed no more tears, our destiny was never
Determined at birth, we, have been free all our lives

If we could spread our wings, like birds above the clouds
The places we could see, away we’ll soar
If we cannot go back, if we can never return
To our home, I’d never leave

Can I, should I, forget the value of my life?

This awful world, may be cruel to us
Still I’ll go on, moving forward for your love
Marching until everything is gone
Only for you, to protect you from all harm
Even if it’s all a big mistake, even if the plan is doomed to fail
I can’t deny myself, my will is absolute, as long as I believe in all I am

And just like a movie, my eyes were fixated
Calamitous storms, of iron in the television
War is unfolding, irrational violence
The enemy stands, unrelated and unsympathetic
Why do I hate them? I never decided
The odd feeling of animosity without a reason
Why can’t I hide it? No explanation needed
The paradox war leaves, through all moments in time

The thoughts I want to share will never leave my mouth
The meaning of my phrase lost in translation
So open up your eyes, believe my truth and you, too, can touch the world that I can feel.

Can I, should I, forget the value of my life...?

This awful world may be cruel to us
Still I’ll go on, moving forward for your love
Marching until everything is gone
Only for you, to protect you from all harm
The shadow of the man I was is dead, cadaver of the person I should be
With nothing to revile, I feel it grow inside, the child of a devil in my heart
The freedom of my kind, the pain of sacrifice, the child of a devil wields it all
