Safe and Sound

"Safe and Sound" is a new ending theme created for Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children Complete. It is sung by Kyosuke Himuro, who performed the original theme song, "CALLING", and Gerard Way of My Chemical Romance fame. The song was composed by Way who also wrote the lyrics, and was arranged by Himuro. Drums are performed by Josh Freese (Nine Inch Nails), bass is done by Dan Rothchild, and guitar by Tim Pierce.

Oddly enough, the song was only used in the Japanese release of Advent Children Complete, with all international versions using the original "Calling" theme, even though "Safe and Sound" is presented in English, whereas "Calling" is presented in Japanese.

A part of the song was used in the second trailer for Advent Children Complete.

The song has been available on iTunes since April 29th 2010. It was released on the Bang The Beat/Safe and Sound single.

Lyrics[]

The following lyrics were taken from the track on Spotify.^[1]

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

I'll set ablaze this life

Your shadow keeps me bright

So try and stop me

Or suffocate this light

'Cuz I can burn all night

Until my heart stops beating

You'll never hear me say

I'm backing down

If I say, it's lost its meaning

If I can't find my way

It's over now

But I won't walk away

'Til the day (Whoa, whoa)

Never backing down (Whoa, whoa)

And hear me say (Whoa, whoa)

I'll keep it safe and sound (Whoa, whoa)

I'll keep it safe and

This hopeless feeling

This fear of falling down

But I'm not crashing now

For all this bleeding

It wasn't worth the sound

A million screaming out

And still

The earth comes reeling

The curtain calls my name

I'm not afraid

And I know

You may not miss me

But I am not ashamed

The choice I've made

But I can't let this go

'Til the day (Whoa, whoa)

I'm never backing down (Whoa, whoa)

Just hear me say (Whoa, whoa)

I'll keep it safe and sound (Whoa, whoa)

I'll keep it safe and

Like a crashing car

Or a dying star

That's racing to the ground

Like the final words

Of the passengers

When the engine's giving out

Will the world

Watch us burn?

Until the day (Whoa, whoa)

I'm never backing down (Whoa, whoa)

Just hear me say (Whoa, whoa)

I'll keep it safe and sound (Whoa, whoa)

Keep it safe and sound (Whoa, whoa)

Keep it safe and sound (Whoa, whoa)

Keep it safe and sound (Whoa, whoa)

Keep it safe and sound (Whoa, whoa)

Keep it safe and sound
