Song: A Hero's Armor is Always Crimson (英雄の鎧は常に紅, Eiyuu no Yoroi wa Tsune ni Akaku)
Vocalist: Cathryn Archer
Composer: Mothy (Akuno - P)
Translation: Cathryn Archer
~Lyrics~
Walking through the ruins of a desecrated town
was a lone knight all clad in red
He was more decorated than any other man
But he filled his enemies with dread
All those who oppose his queen must flee from his form
Or desperately beg for their lives
But the knight’s heart is ruled only by his queen
So no matter what they offered, none survived
A cry drifted toward him from the folded arms of a woman’s corpse
Where an innocent baby girl was clutched within
His cold eyes narrowed as he raised up his sword
Ready to commit an unholy sin
A hero's armor is always crimson
For that's the color of the blood he's surely drowning in
Even if these acts are indeed for someone else's sake
Is it truly by justice that he wins?
Half a decade passed since that fateful, bloody day
Yet the battle still rages on
And the lone young girl of five
All those years ago he saw a symbol on her clothes
Of the imperial family’s crest
With her on hand he thought he’d found himself a way
To keep those who’d do him harm firmly at bay
O little girl do you know just how foolish you are?
When you welcome him home with such joy each day
Not knowing it’s this man who you call father now
Who sent your parents to their graves
A hero’s armor is always crimson
For that’s the color of the lies he’s surely drowning in
Even if this act is indeed for someone’s else’s sake
Is it enough to tip the scale away from sin?
Once again on the battlefield the ground is turning crimson
Chaos, conflict, soldiers, suffering, and all the world is spinning
For the first time before he knew the knight himself was surrounded
With cloaks and masks it’s clear that these are far from his normal foes
Give us the child and we’ll spare your life, came their leaders demand a woman cloaked in black
But the knight knew if he complied the girl would certainly die
Yet wasn’t that the reason he’d been holding her until now?
He had no choice but to give her up, perhaps now’s the time to end this lie
Suddenly someone took up a sword
And stood between the knight and the crowd
The small, trembling hands could barely hold the blade
But that wouldn’t stop the will of the young girl he saved.
Foolish little girl you know not whom you protect, a murderer who even now was about to bring you forward
But instead the knight just smiled softly and patted the young girl’s head
His smiled turning cold as he faced the crowd and drew his sword…
A hero’s armor is always crimson
For that’s the color of the love that’s surely growing within
Now walking hand and hand across the crimson battlefield
Her love washing away her father’s sin
On a battlefield there’s no clear justice or sin
Only on the day of atonement will the answers finally come
But until that day of reckoning finally arrives
By the grace of his daughter the knight survives

When life gives you lemons make sure that you throw them at random people for good luck and runaway like hell.

What happens if you don’t like lemons?

I accidentally clicked on this video, not realizing it was an English cover. And I must say, this is one of the English covers I ever heard! Not only is your voice beautiful, the English lyrics flow so naturally as well. Keep it up!

[@TheLyricSoprano]

Thank you so much! I'm so happy people like them :)

[@Techhead3434]

I would love to hear your take on the Daughter of Vengeance spin off song!

[@TheLyricSoprano]

It's coming! I'm working on "Kept Waiting for a Response" right now and then I'll be getting into some of the fanworks.

[@hawrasabt5207]

This is so underrated

[@Dressup_Doll]

I, umm, started crying a little. It was either because of the lyrics, your voice, or the fact that cloaked people were Riliane’s from SoE.

[@FMA-lh3sp]

Que bellos covers, me gustaría poder cantar así. ❤

[@megaddams2374]

Hope I don't sound dumb here, but how does this connect with the others? I'm watching all these ones today and piecing the story together bit by bit... It's absolutely amazing! Just trying to figure out who they are

[@nighthawk72j80]

Remember the red armored woman who helped overthrow Riliane in "Daughter of evil?" Allen's adopted family who took him in during "Servant of evil?" Germaine is that red armored woman and Allen's adopted sister. She's the little girl in this song and Leonhart is her adopted father.

@@nighthawk72j80 thank you for this. I was starting to get lost as well.

Oh boy. You got into it too late, this is so complicated now.

Please do more!

I promised to do the entire series. Since I've made it this far it'd be foolish to quit now :)

I am imagining things or did Germany change colors

[@echonolan4496]

Hi...so I'm German and no there was no color change in or flag for a long time if you mean that. But If I'm allowed to ask what has this to do with this Song?

[@enderdarkos4087]

No. Plus, Leonhardt Avadonia, the guy in this song, is from Beelzenia, inspired by Italy and Spain

[@maddalenadolce7346]

You aren't mistaken! In the PV Germaine outfit changed colours, maybe to better symbolize that she followed her father's footsteps in becoming a red cladded warrior who led a civil war.

[@zackarygaither242]

@@echonolan4496 it is the name of a character in the story

Wasn't the name Germaine or Geramaine?

may i use this song? i am making an animated short movie based on story of evil and ive been having a hard time finding a cover of this song

[@TheLyricSoprano]

So sorry for the late reply, KZbin hasn't been showing me all my notifications. If you're still interested then absolutely you can use it! If you're going to post it then I'd love it if you'd send me a link when it's finished.

[@hmmm7794]

Oh..I was hoping some lyrics butttttttttt it is okay

They're now in the description ...

[@Liliana_k9]

Actually you can just open subtitle, it mya not be the exact words but at least it was close

[@hmmm7794]

Lmao this was posted 5 months ago so I didn't knew about that

[@claravbritania8353]

I can't get what is happening in the song

[@PikaPenny17]

A war hero/criminal is commiting genocide when he discovers a female baby. He almost kills it, but sees from its clothes it is a noble, so he keeps her for a hostage someday instead. The child believes him her father. 5 years later, a group of people realize who she is and decide to kill this opposing noble child, telling the war criminal to give her to them to kill or perish himself. The war criminal is fighting himself over this decision, when the child picks up a sword and stands in front of him to protect him. This causes him to decide to defend her, be her father, and ultimately redeem himself.

[@Rinko-hoshi]

@@PikaPenny17 Actually the cloaked crowd wanted the girl to turn her into an assassin, for reasons tangentially related to the song. However the knight believes they want her dead, hence the lyrics. But yeah, that's pretty much it.
