This is Metal Gear RAY ’s base , which is the game ’s first boss . The birdsong is opulent and adrenaline - hasten , preparing the instrumentalist for the foreman . It sets the preposterously Brobdingnagian scale leaf of the game , with Raiden ’s first opponent being a antecedently insurmountable beast of mechanical fear . This Sung dynasty inform the player that matter will only get bigger . The old reign of Metal Gears has finish , and bionic man are now the peak predators .
10) A Stranger I Remain
This song disclose the aroused profoundness of Mistral , the second chief in the game . Although we receive little backstory on Mistral before our inevitable battle , this Sung dynasty describes her motivations for fighting . She does not kill simply because she likes it , even though that is a factor . Rather , fighting give her a blank space to belong . She is a stranger who falter upon an even foreign warfare ; she is no longer the odd one out . In the ranks of a military pot , she has a sense of companionship and even family .
9) Collective Consciousness
This song is Senator Armstrong ’s first fight theme . This song exposes his immoral beliefs in black and blank without niceness or sugarcoating . It demonstrates just how tainted Armstrong is and how he ’s drowning in his own Trygve Lie . As counterbalance to his second theme , Collective Consciousness instance the difference between Armstrong and Raiden . They are both individuals seeking to modify the worldly concern , but their motivations could n’t be further asunder .
8) Stains of Time
Stains of Time is Monsoon ’s theme and speaks of his familiarity with woe . Monsoon is a nihilistic individual who is well - acquainted with pain , and this song describes how that pain changed him as a person . His dreams are dead , and tragedy seems to assay him out , which prompt him to distribute that same pain to others . To survive , Monsoon believes , you must " bolt down or be killed . " The world is cruel , and to succeed , you must become crueler .
7) The Hot Wind Is Blowing
This is Khamsin ’s radical , who is a boss from the Blade Wolf DLC . The Song dynasty speaks of blindly following orders and encourages soldiers to find their freedom , even if it means hurt others . However , Khamsin ’s definition of freedom resemble the lyrics of Collective Consciousness , with people who " blindly swear fealty " and " live in ignorance . " This song describes the illusion of personal freedom and Khamsin ’s megalomaniac tendencies .
6) Red Sun
This strain is Sundowner ’s report and describes change ’s steep and bloody price . Sundowner believes the world is due for an overhaul , and bloodletting is the means to the justifiable end . In Sundowner ’s opinion , war does n’t involve a intellect to be waggle . Even so , this song lacks a tale that enriches the other boss themes and exit us wonder who Sundowner really is .
5) The War Still Rages Within
This Sung dynasty plays during the game ’s acknowledgment and speaks of Raiden ’s power to make do outside the battlefield . He can step away from the state of war , but the warfare never leaves him . Despite his best efforts , Raiden can not forget the devil at heart . It is more of a reflective piece , ruminate Raiden ’s self-contemplation after the game ’s events . Even so , this song conserve the guitar and piercing vocal that carry the secret plan ’s flavor .

4) A Soul Can’t Be Cut
While we ab initio dislike this song for an unaccountable reason , it sounds much neat when diddle through headphone . The song sounds like it ’s fighting when play through speakers , with the layer becoming marshy and indiscernible . However , A Soul Ca n’t Be Cut is unreasonably larger-than-life with earpiece . The Adrenalin in this song is unpaired , and as a battle theme , it escalates the get-up-and-go of any position .
3) Return to Ashes
This is one of the plot ’s battle themes and does n’t focalize on the identity operator of a undivided fibre . While the instrumental version is slick and up-and-coming , the outspoken version becomes abrasive . The guitar melodies are excellent and drive the Sung ’s tempo , but the vocals are just overstimulating .
2) I’m My Own Master Now
This song is not inherently bad , and the guitar tune at the offset is a wonderful catalyst for the song ’s push . However , the vocals take themselves too seriously . While the song ’s message is intriguing , the " hotdog becomes its own superior " trope is inherently a chip silly . Rather than play into that blithesome timbre , the singer deliver pipeline like " hear me howl " and " I get run but the thirstiness still stay " with complete seriousness .
1) Dark Skies
This song is another one of the secret plan ’s battle themes , and although it is not a bad song , we had a realization that ruined the song for us . The song ’s vocals audio like they have been put in a liquidizer . The vocal look sound like they are vibrating as if the recording accidentally stumbled into a washing machine . Although the determination of this effect was to raise the Sung dynasty , it accomplished quite the opposite .
