Mega Ran, Austin Creed, GameChops - The Opening lyrics

The Lifestream is a river of
Energy that circles our planet
It gives life to the world
And everything in it
You, me, the creatures and the trees
All of those things flow from the Lifestream
Now, Shinra Electric Power Company extracts
Energy from the Lifestream
And they call it Mako
And they claim it brings prosperity to all
But, if Mako is so great
Then why are more and more of
Us living in the slums?

Shinra garrisons a private army
Known as SOLDIER rumor has it
They genetically modify their troops
Infusing them with Mako to
Give them superhuman strength
Cloud Strife is a mercenary
An ex-SOLDIER who left the company
And his combat skills are in high demand
Cloud heads to the Sector 7
Slums for his next job it's with Avalanche
A group of eco-terrorists
Planning to strike at the heart
Of Shinra’s energy empire
