[The Ranger]

Last of my kind since my mother she died

My father a coward, how he tried to hide from the tribe

But I survived in Cosmo Canyon, companions are few

Bugenhagen like a grandfather and I call him that too

Knew what to do when the Turks came to capture a specimen

Contested them but wasn't gettin the best of them

I saved the day, but I was taken away

Tattooed with the numerals that later gave me my name

Prisoner imprisoned in the Shinra HQ

Subjected to experiments, by Hojo and his crew

After more than a year a proud swordsman appeared

He told me he was Cloud and we fought our way out

Back at home, Bugenhagen said some facts should be known

Dad didn't run from the tribe, he attacked 'em alone

Like they turned him to stone, my shame turned into pride

And as I howled at the moon, he cried from petrified eyes
