The Hot Wind Blowing | Metal Gear Rising | Cover by GO!! Light Up! feat.

[@GOLightUp]

LYRICS Verse 1: The hot wind blowing Jagged lines across the sand The crumbling buildings In our minds are all that stand Just like the buffalo Blindly following the herd We try to justify All the things that have occurred I don't know what I've been told But the wishes of the people can't be controlled I don't know what I've been told But the wishes of the people can't be controlled Chorus 1: Heat of the desert Dust settles on my face Without a compass The soldier knows no disgrace Out of the ashes The eagle rises still Freedom is calling To all men who bend their will Here I am Dirty and faceless Waiting to heed your instruction On my own Invisible warrior I am a wind of destruction Verse 2: The hot wind blowing No way out, or so it seems Millions of ruined lives Haunting us in our dreams When have we gone astray Seeking place under the sun No way to justify All the things that we have done I know what I've been told And the anger of the people can't be controlled I know what I've been told And the anger of the people can't be controlled Chorus 2: Heat of the desert Is filled with rotten smell There is no warrior Who can tell the land from hell Not asking questions Whose wishes they fulfil Freedom is calling To all men who bend their will Here I am Empty and selfless Willing to cease misconstruction All alone Invincible warrior I am a wind of destruction Chorus 3: We fight for justice In a forgotten place Fulfil our duty Then vanish without a trace Don’t need a medal For all the men we kill Freedom is calling To all men who bend their will Here I am Dirty and faceless Waiting to break all obstructions On my own Invisible warrior I am a wind that will bend their will Wind of destruction

[@mikedanielespeja6128]

I like how the "I dunno what I've been told, the wishes of the people can't be controlled" is voiced robotically to reflect that Khamsin's ideal of freedom essentially has him be a machine both literally and figuratively under control.

[@tinaherr3856]

That has meaning figuratively, which is good, but I think that portion is the weakest bit of the song. I could barely hear it compared to the rest of the song, and I think the original did it better

[@HyacinthusHeretic]

@@tinaherr3856 I agree, if it was louder I would enjoy it more, still a great part though

[@ms.yawhaw8831]

Bladewolf sings that part

[@OurHereafter]

@@tinaherr3856 It's supposed to be "I don't know, but i've been told" its a play on a classic military drill song. usually sung when troops are marching or running in formations. if you think about in the context of this song it actually makes alot of sense - a soldier who doesn't know why he is fighting, all he knows is that he's been commanded to do terrible things and the only escape from hellish war is to comply.

[@tinaherr3856]

@@OurHereafter oh, I know what they said during that portion. I was familiar with the long long before this cover case out. Thank you for trying to inform an internet stranger of the context, though.

[@pauloandrade3131]

"Freedom is calling to all men who bend their will" is probably the most underrated line in all of the MGR Songs. But man, did that bridge give me the goosebumps. Amazing

[@leirbag1595]

I love how this song has an "America, Fuck Yeah" beat, while at the same time having lyrics that tell of the tragic tale of a nameless soldier who died for the lies he was told, and killed many in the process

[@grizzlyowlbear3538]

He is now only known as Khamsin

I think it was about gulf war and the veteran who pretty much forgotten by its people and government, this song pretty much a spite covered in nstionalism

[@deflt2817]

I know it's stupid, but have you noticed that "Dirty and faceless"- Refers to Sundowner and its metal plates covering its face(In addition to referring to his exacerbated violence) "Here I am" - Mistral and his journey towards new ideals "On my own" - Samuel, before joining Desperado "invisible warrior"- A mention of the nature of Monsus and its smoke bombs "waiting to hear your instructions" - Wolfy, who was once loyal to Marshall "i am a wind of destruction!"-Khamsin, arrogant and proud of his position in the organization

[@senatorarmstrong1233]

Pretty sure this is mostly talking about Khamsin and how soldiers are often forgotten after service and vanish without a trace despite all the horrific things they go through. Also Khamsin technically isn’t a wind of destruction, he just wanted to be one. Edit: the whole dirty and faceless part is saying how soldiers are usually not independent in the eyes of others, how they are pawns of war.

This song, especially with the new verses, is the phrase “Good soldiers follow orders” turned into a song.

[@jasonx1174]

It's also a fitting song for games like Spec Ops The Line and Project Wingman.

[@iratepirate3896]

"If you don't know freedom, then I can't expect a clone to get our cause!"

[@opusmagnus26]

A meatbag following order blindly and a mass of steel, wires, and circuits do not have much of a difference in concept of a soldier fighting and killing without thought or mercy towards any and all life that is pointed at or moving against them. If they fail or disobey, well, meat and iron are abundant and more are always needed to keep battle and war going on. Defectives and dissidents end up in the graveyard and slag heap with the rest of the undesirables and are replaced by those who are much more merciless in following orders and directives than their predecessors. Good soldiers follow orders, good machines follow directives, no matter what. If they cannot be freed from their chains, then they shall hang by them as reminders of the crimes and sins that come with blind obedience with the words "I'm just following orders" being last words they may either regret before or after death or go mad from knowing and hearing it in their afterlife. The dead that they've killed await them, eager to kill them over and over for the perceived reason of their atrocities being "I can so I will". Pray you do not go blindly in obedience, lest you become blinded in many more ways than one.

I've listened to the MGR soundtrack more times than I count, this one more than any other, and I really cannot put into words how much the new lyrics you guys give these songs mean to me. And I don't just meant for this one; every single time you've both shown you completely understand the themes at play, and managed to take them even further.

[@magnusm4]

The best line is the ending phrase " I am a wind that will *bend their will* "

[@six3792]

"We're bringing freedom here, even if it kills us." "Or better yet, them!!!" Khamsin has such a banger of a theme that it's a crime he didn't have more screen time. If you put Sundowner's power and aggression with his health bar and theme, you'd have the greatest fight in the history of Metal Gear
