Soldier Dream (english Version)

Hironobu Kageyama's 'Soldier Dream (English Version)' is a powerful anthem that encapsulates the essence of the 'Saint Seiya' anime series. The song's lyrics are a tribute to the titular characters, the Saints, who are warriors chosen to protect the Earth and the goddess Athena from evil forces. The song opens with a celestial imagery, asking what one sees in the sky, and answers with stars that symbolize the Saints' destiny to fight against malevolent schemes. This sets the stage for a narrative of cosmic battles and heroic endeavors.

The recurring theme of 'burning COSMO' refers to the inner energy that the Saints harness to achieve their extraordinary feats. This COSMO is not driven by materialistic desires like gold or fame but by a pure, unwavering commitment to victory and protection. The lyrics emphasize the purity and determination in the Saints' eyes, likening them to shooting stars that must burn brightly, even if it means self-sacrifice. This metaphor highlights the intense dedication and the almost mythic quality of their mission.

The chorus, with its repeated invocation of 'Saint Seiya,' underscores the protagonist's journey. Guided by the constellations, the Saints must overcome their limitations and find their path, despite the uncertainty of how to achieve their goals. The song speaks to the universal theme of striving for greatness and the relentless pursuit of one's dreams, no matter the obstacles. The Saints' unity and shared 'soldier dream' reflect a collective effort to protect what is sacred, embodying the spirit of teamwork and unwavering resolve.

The song's powerful message is further amplified by its energetic and uplifting melody, which mirrors the high stakes and epic nature of the battles depicted in the 'Saint Seiya' series. Kageyama's dynamic vocal delivery adds to the sense of urgency and determination, making 'Soldier Dream' not just a theme song, but an anthem of heroism and perseverance.
