This should've played during an alternate ending battle with Noah Prime where you and your Twin go into Fusion Form at the same time to whoop his ass.

[@Dante2831]

Nah I liked it better when you use all the legions as one awesome combo move. To me that really speaks me on how I believe how the game is played. Not just with one legion but with all of them. Obviously it doesn’t mater how your style is you do you.

Trapped in the madness being Hollow Is there anyway to save me, is there anyway to break free from this mess Strapped to the sadness and the sorrow, on the verge of giving in With an urge of self-destruction to end it all This could be the end of time, this could be the end of me Not gonna pretend and let it fall to ashes, no! This could be the end of light, this could be the end of us, Just as I was about to give up Something deep inside, keeping me alive Fusing into the unknown, losing my own control I will sacrifice, for us to survive Every drop of my blood letting go, of my insanity, from within! (~ooo ~echoes~) Nothing can stop this DARK HERO, like a beast on the loose Devouring anything that gets in the way This could be the end of time, this could be the end of me Not gonna pretend and let it fall to ashes, no! This could be the end of light, this could be the end of us, Just as I was about to give up Something deep inside, keeping me alive Fusing into the unknown, losing my own control I will sacrifice, for us to survive Every drop of my blood letting go, of my insanity, from within! Is this how, we are meant to be, is this everything we've been longing for Just as I was about to give up Something deep inside (Something deep inside), keeping me alive Fusing into the unknown, losing my own control I will sacrifice (I will sacrifice), for us to survive Every drop of my blood letting go, of my insanity, from within!

I don't get the hate here. I love how the two vocalists harmonize here.

[@Jet_Genesis720]

Isn’t it bad that I kinda liked it when they separate because It’s kinda like a human and a Legion they are almost always in sync but other times...

[@picklerage4619]

Nintendo needs to release an official duet version of this song. Its almost a crime that they haven't yet

[@ej-epicjourney5351]

While this is easily the best twin mix of the song I've heard, it has the exact same problem that they all have. Everyone that cuts these has both singers singing every line together instead of having them alternate lines before joining at the chorus. Look at both Savior and The Answer for an example of what I mean.

[@optimistprime3192]

That would definitely do well for the chorus: one could sing “Something deep inside”, the other sings “Keeping me alive”, then they sing together for the next two verses, repeat for the second half of the chorus.

[@DLBot2016]

Now that’s what I’m talking about! Perfect mixing job. Best version I’ve heard so far. I like both versions of this song, but everybody loves a good duet.

[@rashawnalli4724]

So far, this is the best version I've heard. Nice work.

[@cyberdude4]

There's some parts that sound a bit weird, but this is by far the best attempt I've heard.

[@Destigamer]

That's only because the keys the two parts now share with my edit still jump between chords that don't harmonise. I only used extremely basic audacity skills to make this

[@Starcat5]

@@Destigamer And yet you did it without pitching the female vocals into "Chipmunk" range. Seriously, why is that version so popular?

Personally, I love the dissonant parts, makes me think of how the twins still clash from time to time

[@rhettmitchell]

@@Starcat5yeah I think they moreso changed the male voice

[@WillieManga]

One thing I'd recommend is making some segments into solos, some male, some female. That would be pretty cool, but in the meantime, this is the definitive dual mix to me. They harmonize so damn well!

At the very least, this is probably the best we can do to meld the two versions together. Unfortunately, the versions aren't quite composed to work together. The two combined certainly isn't bad, though. This could serve as a basis for a rearrangement that combines the two, I think.

[@hazelv.a.7976]

I don't believe that they're in the same key in this. kzbin.info/www/bejne/aabLgYyieN6orsk This has them both in d minor Which sound make them sound more similar

[@bluemew22]

Rather than overlaying both vox tracks, someone should try alternating them each stanza. Like the female voice leads off, and the male picks it up with "This could be the end of time", and then overlay them like this mix for Chorus 1. Then in Chorus 2 where there are counterpoint lyrics twice, female for the "something deep inside" line with male counterpoint, then they switch for the "I will sacrifice" line, before Fusing for the rest of the song.
