In a bit of a Metal Gear mood so i might just replay my entire collection again. Been a while since I last did that.

Anyhoo, here is the song lyrics translated from Hebrew to English. (emphasis on translated, not TRANSLITERATED)

"Closing my eyes to the sound of gunfire, uttering a howl. In a flash I am switched into despair. Everything for the one who lives inside a nightmare. Missing you from the bottom of my heart.

Wishing for the world that ran out of tears. My heart is already dead. The hope. Missing you so much it hurts.
"

Honestly beautiful, considering the context of the setting that the franchise is set in an alternate world of 2014 wherein wars are fought not with heart but with hardly a justifiable reason or cause. The way that Jackie Presti sings the lyrics in such a saddened tone and her wavering mannerisms gives off the sense that this is being sung by a mother who has to bear the loss of her beloved child in an unjust and cruel war that no one had asked for.
Pure talent and poetry for a somber and sobering setting that perfectly fits in Hideo Kojima's series of how war is cruel and often unnecessary.
