I was wondering why this was the second track, but then I realized this is actually the second song you hear in the game, during the fight with Sam on the train, although there's no lyrics during that.

[neonacho]

The tutorial of the game did a very poor job of teaching me how to parry, so I went through most of the game without even knowing what parrying was. When I got to Sam, I got my ass beat because ya know, very parry heavy fight. As time went on, I eventually learned how to parry through Sam, so I saw him as kind of a teacher of sorts and felt even worse when I had to kill him.

What if the musjc you hear in game is raiden's literally built in sound track

[GenericProtagonist]

(quote from Max0r)
The best thing about this fight is that

There's no minions

No sheilds

No helicopters

No Monsoon talking about... f***king Among Us or something

It's just you

The sun

And the _soil_

[alphafiles]

"Ha, i got rid of his sword. i have the advantage!"
*Last words before disaster*

[sablebranwen]

Easily my favorite boss in the game. A sword fight between two equally matched rivals. Simple and to the point.

[TheSpyder]

literally no doubt that raiden has a sound-system built in that plays this stuff real time

[harrythehumansubstitutearr]

I disabilied all healing, sub and custom itums for this fight... best battle ever

[razorscootr]

Fuck man I forgot how badass this soundtrack is. I should replay it again.

[dimensiongaming]

the fight with sam was the most fun chapter in the entire game in my opinion

[rsunni]

"Show me a good time, Jack!"

[baglieto]

Memories broken
The truth goes unspoken
I’ve even forgotten my name

I don’t know the season
Or what is the reason
I’m standing here holding my blade

A desolate place
Without any trace
It’s only the cold wind I feel

It’s me that I spite
As I stand up and fight
The only thing I know for real

There will be blood-shed
The man in the mirror nods his head

The only one left
Will ride upon the dragon’s back

Because the mountains don’t give back what they take
Oh no
There will be blood-shed
It’s the only thing I’ve ever known

Losing my identity
Wondering have I gone insane
To find the truth in front of me
I must climb this mountain range
Looking downward from this deadly height
And never realizing why I fight

[theshadowshago]

The only sad thing in this game is killing sam !

[Amy_etc]

Memories: Broken
Truth: Unspoken
Name: Forgotten
Season:Don't Know
Reason:Don't Know

[Stinky]

Imagine your just waking and all the sudden you hear this song getting closer and louder

[rezanugraha]

love the design for sam's blade and the sheathe, that m4a1 carbine look like, pull the trigger, and super amazing fast iai slash coming at ya!

[ryrin]

For me, Monsoon was harder than Sam. Sam wasn't too tough for me. Which is odd because I see some people talking as if he's very challenging. It's a very parry heavy fight. If you can parry well, you may not have much trouble. If you suck at parrying... well that probably explains the guy who said this fight took him 2 days to beat.

[sdgaming]

My legs are broken
The kneecaps are stolen
I’m forever bound to a chair
I don’t how to hike
or what it is to bike
I’m sitting here holding my brakes
My ass stays in place (place)
With a big trace (trace)
It’s only my ass i feel
Its my legs that i spite
As i sit and sit
The only thing i know for real
There will be
Broken (Broken)
Bones (Bones)
The man in the Mirror sobs instead
The only one (one)
Left (left)
Will crawl up the chair he has
Because the ankles don't grow back when they break
Oh, no there will be
Broken (Broken)
Bones (Bones)
It's the only thing I've ever known

Then the music happens

Losing my mobility,
Wondering “will I walk again?”
To traverse the path in front of me,
I must use this wheelchair.


Looking downward from this moving seat
never realizing i have to go up stairs

[FeenieVonKarma]

Nearly 10 years ago this came out. Still love to listen to this OST sometimes!

[AdamRozza]

Probably my fav video game soundtrack of all time!!
