Final Fantasy 7: Anthem of the Angels (Breaking Benjamin - Dear Agony Album)

  • The moment I first heard this song when it was released a week ago, this video demanded to be made. This is an AMV set to the song "Anthem of the Angels" from Breaking Benjamin's new CD "Dear Agony," and it uses footage from Final Fantasy VII: Crisis Core and Advent Children Complete. It portrays Cloud mourning the loss of his mentor and brother in arms Zack Fair, and his struggles to overcome his grief and draw strength from the memory of Zack's courage to keep fighting no matter how great the odds. The lyrics of this song are absolutely perfect for the theme, and are especially fitting with the reoccurring "angel" motif present through the FF7 saga.
    This video marks the latest in my series of FF7 videos, and my first AMV rendered in full HD (made possible by the recently released Advent Children Complete Edition).
    LYRICS
    White walls surround us
    No light will touch your face again
    Rain taps the window
    As we sleep among the dead
    Days go on forever
    But i have not left your side
    We can chase the dark together
    If you go then so will I
    There is nothing left of you
    I can see it in your eyes
    Sing the anthem of the angels
    And say the last goodbye
    Cold light above us
    Hope fills the heart
    And fades away
    Skin white as winter
    As the sky returns to gray
    Days go on forever
    But I have not left your side
    We can chase the dark together
    If you go then so will I
    There is nothing left of you
    I can see it in your eyes
    Sing the anthem of the angels
    And say the last goodbye
    I keep holding onto you
    But I can't bring you back to life
    Sing the anthem of the angels
    Then say the last goodbye
    You're dead alive (x4)
    There is nothing left of you
    I can see it in your eyes
    Sing the anthem of the angels
    And say the last goodbye
    I keep holding onto you
    But I can't bring you back to life
    Sing the anthem of the angels
    And say the last goodbye
    Sing the anthem of the angels
    And say the last goodbye

    Zack Fair--probably the MOST social, friendly, caring, loyal, selfless, hard-working, energetic, driven character in FF7. I love ALL of FF7 characters but Zack truly is a great guy.

    Zack Fair still a legend after all these years. Even though the man got used and betrayed by society, he always tried to rescue someone close to him, always enjoying little moments and things left in life. The man knows it will end someday, and he prepared for that.
    This man makes me cried back then.

  • @greenflowerwithcrimsonleaves
    @greenflowerwithcrimsonleaves 4 роки тому +23

    This is an amazing AMV. All of the scene choices were amazingly timed and well chosen. Cloud's fight with Sephiroth was my favorite part (1:34). I couldn't get over how aptly timed those parts were and how the lyrics fit so amazingly well. I also was really impressed by 3:10. The transition from Aerith to Zach to Genesis was not something I expected, and it was really cool. I don't know much how this type of video is made, but I also noticed how some of the scenes faded into other scenes (so there was a little overlay) and think that was really well done and enhanced the visual and meaning. This is an AMV to be proud of and I'm glad I watched it.

  • @prongs8488
    @prongs8488 7 років тому +6

    I like this simply because it has made me realize that Cloud doesn't really hate Sephiroth or the trio.. he just pities them. He knows that he must kill them to save lives, but he doesn't kill them out of anger or hate, it's from more of a sympathetic view point. This is more or less evidenced by Cloud holding Kadaj as he dies. Look at Cloud's expression, it isn't a face of hate, its merciful.

Ever since I watched this video, I've been in love with Final Fantasy. So thank you so much for introducing me to such a wonderful game.

    This is one of my favorite videos that you've done. I think I must have pretty much all of your FF VII videos saved to my youtube playlist. Very well done. (You're also the one that got me to hunt down & get the complete edition of AC so thank you for that too...it's awesome.)

    Great video, FFVII is without a doubt the most celebrated and forever lasting video game. and this song was perfect of the theme of the series. Who knew combining one of the best modern bands and VII would be so breath taking. Even if Square Enix is making a sequel they should still remake VII. There's just too much money in it for them not to, and fans would flock to it
