Lyrics:
SAPPHIRE:
In the dusty corners of my mind
I was surprised to see somebody waiting there
I've gotta find the truth and face this fight
Alone no longer
The only one who can save me now is by my side
Get ready to fight
Now be prepared
They're tryin' to break your heart
But souls who unite
Can't be torn apart
Don't lose your way in the night
We've got to fight as one
Don't be afraid of the light
You've got to stand up and be strong
All of your secret pain
Makes you braver
We're gonna end the game
And make it right
JOSHUA:
Seems there's no other choice but to go all out
I’m your wings that hoist you when you fall down
We’re a team, we join to beat the whole crowd
Of elites - destroy her, this is our vow
In my thread, you had bled over time
And it’s profound as we shred the older dress of a child
And somehow we’ll be growing together and thrive
When it’s about revenge and survive for now
We know in part as you show your heart
And tear goku stars, but don’t go too far
The uniform controls, don’t bleed too quickly
I’ll assume the role, your energy is shifting
Who’s clothes with the flow can be this filthy?
Prove to those who won’t believe in this link
I could lose on my own so I really need you with me
SAPPHIRE:
I gotta fight, but it hurts so bad
I hear your voice ringin' in my head
I gotta fight, but it hurts so bad
I hear your voice ringin' in my head, oh
JOSHUA:
My blood is pumping as we fly to the sun
You must trust me - no lie, I was once terrified,
Overcome the plight, but don’t run
As I cried when you came upon me in the pile of junk
Now the sky above is the line that confines so,
They try to acquire the fire that your father had designed for us so,
Let's fight as one
SAPPHIRE:
Can't see my feet in the dark
Don't wanna be all alone
Can't feel the heat in my heart
But I remember where to go
Don't lose your way in the night
We've got to fight as one
Don't be afraid of the light
You've got to stand up and be strong
All of your secret pain
Makes you braver
We're gonna end the game
And make it right
Oh...

[@NoneLikeJoshua]

Thanks to Sapphy for asking me to be part of this and letting me write my own lyrics. Hope you guys enjoy!

[@IronCladGarrison]

+None Like Joshua Both of you did amazing!

[@kapparomeo]

+None Like Joshua Yeah, good job on changing the "I gotta find out who killed my dad" line - the original was cringeworthy and embarrassing to listen to but your update solves that problem.

[@Rhinoplaysmc]

Your musics awesome and if you and sapphire wee to ever do more rewrite covers maybe some songs from persona (that could use it *COUGH*reachouttothetruth *COUGH*)the p3fes opening ,pursuing my true self,DANCE,and of course in terms of rap that could use your talents ying yang

[@EShum]

Your rap took the worst part of the song and created a masterpiece. Well done.

[@Mattmaster112]

You ruined the song

[@watcherofanimez562]

Trust me guys my body definitely was not dry listening to this song.

[@XcessKyle]

If you get me ;) XD

[@veleriphon]

OH MYYY...

[@tytydino]

Fuck it vouch

[@Sapphberry]

Hey everyone! Thanks for joining me on my Kill la Kill cover journey. It was a great two year ride, and I hope most of you enjoyed it. My Kill la Kill single is available on iTunes and Loudr now. I'll update the download links in the video and video description for Amazon and Google Play users once the single goes live on those platforms. Stay cool, and keep your bodies moist. - Love, Sapphire

[@Arcticfox030]

omg has it really been two years already XD

[@elitismautumn8245]

My body was never dry to begin with.

[@Darkfall191]

+Sapphire Pls someday in the future make Oath sign complete version, also thx for all the beautifull songs!!

[@planarfreak9959]

+Sapphire Wow, gratz! You're becoming so legit. Since those are being sold, how are you handling copyright? I mean, did you just email some company in Japan and pay some song writing fee? How does that work?

[@Sapphberry]

+Planar Freak Loudr is a music licensing and distribution group I've been submitting my covers to. They are the ones that handle copyright business with publishers.

[@jamthesnitch9847]

I like how you changed "I gotta find out who killed my Dad" to "I gotta fight but it hurts so bad"

[@JackDaniels-ex9mf]

Tbh i like that alot of the lyrics that referred to the anime were changed

[@Playsaur04]

Bruh

[@speedofsoundgaming7693]

I don't because the song is literally in English and the lyrics are all fucked. I like Sapphire but this was a half assed cover.

[@Rodrigo-ck4lw]

Why?

[@dragonfang_jr9844]

Who is still listening to this godly cover?

[@reddwanjahir6364]

ME!!!!!!! Its so good.

[@saininsa98]

[@PharaohOfTheDamned]

[@Midnight-Starfish]

Have you ever considered dubbing? You have an amazing voice.

[@AllGamingStarred]

is that an anime?

[@AllGamingStarred]

why would someone want to dub their voice?

[@w.grobinson4919]

+Damien Devrieze no it's a anime not a game

[@emmalikesgames4840]

I mean, I would do some dubbing myself but my voice doesn't go up very high, but I have an amazing singing voice none the less🎤

[@AlfredFJonesAkaTheHero]

Moral of the story, don't lose your way.

[@henrialvim7274]

The lyrics flow so much better here. I still listen to the original with other people, but I always come back to this cover. Been what 5 years now?

[@Kucoz]

Liked that rap in the middle and the way you rewrote the english lines to flow better. This was phenomenal

[@TheCreepypro]

and it still is!

[@SourCherryBomb]

Wow, you actually made me like the rap part! This was well worth the wait, and the guy doing the rap was great!

[@NoneLikeJoshua]

+Lord Genghis Shawn The Ultimate Invincible Thank you!

[@TheoneandonlyDrops]

waaaiit you're the guy credited for singing the rap! great job man don't loose your way!

[@EShum]

Ayy alucard pic. My people!

Eric shumway The Bird of the Hermes is my name... eating my wings to make me tame!

[@TheWanderingAesthete]

Anybody else feel like Sapphires covers are the best on YT? Not just by a little but clearly the best.

[@RisingSunReviews]

+TheWanderingAesthete Yep, she has a lot of great covers, and seems to be more consistent with this high quality than others.

[@popa1598]

yup yup

[@mouchetd6822]

+TheWanderingAesthete JubyPhonic is pretty cool too

[@DaveSmith-cp5kj]

+TheWanderingAesthete The only problem I have is that the voice is too generic and stereotypical of most popular female American Singers. If you compare most female singers with their covers, you actually cannot distinguish between them well (with the exception of the slight differences in the audio itself that gives away that it is a cover). I guess the only way I can describe it is that the voice sounds a bit deep and the words slurred(?). And don't get me wrong, I like her covers too, and also are probably one of the most professional covers out there, but in my opinion, I think it lacks a bit of differentiation and she has a lot of potential to improve to become REALLY great. Christina Vee is probably a good rival to Sapphire because Christina has a much different intonation (perhaps higher range but without becoming annoying?) that I find extremely pleasing. It is a bit unique, which she matches fairly well to her covers.

[@bigspooky5046]

Adrisaurus is still out there.

[@seki108]

It's surprising that it's been two years since Kill la Kill started airing. It hasn't seemed like that much time at all.

[@maiqtheundecided_7190]

seki108 five years over here In the future

[@MemeDreamTeam]

@@maiqtheundecided_7190 make tthat 6

[@74tbull]

And it's still wonderful

[@MemeDreamTeam]

@@74tbull ya lol

[@caveyspider]

8 years, around 8 years since it aired, 2 more years and it's gonna be 10 years, goddamn

[@Sirfatandblack]

This is the ONLY cover I’ve heard that does the rap part. This is the BEST cover I’ve heard. Great vocals from both of you

[@miguelaguilar3299]

Life Fiber Synchronize!! Kamui Senketsu!! I screamed with delight when Ryuko said that in ep. 22. I will still do that if I see that clip a million times. For me, Kill La Kill is my second face anime.

[@ProlificPianist]

The rap is much better now. gj sapph

[@NoneLikeJoshua]

+Joshua W Thank you!

[@TheRetroRenegade]

Started watching on Netflix again, and I forgot how awesome that guitar rift is! It's awesome the first time you see Ryuko and the title comes up and you just here that opening electric guitar! Badass!!!

[@AnimeRunna]

Oh my gawd Sapphire how are you so freaking amazing... Like damn, just damn.

[@faetal_toxin]

The talent, the emotion, the power, the ability, the sound is immaculate and I am left speechless and crying every time I hear this incredible song.
