"The Best is Yet to Come" is the vocal song for Metal Gear Solid. It was written and produced by Rika Muranaka and features Irish lyrics sung by Aoife Ní Fhearraigh, with additional arrangement provided by David Downes. The song was recorded at the Beech Park Studio, in Ireland, and was engineered by Philip Begley. A slightly cut version of the song appears in Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots as an unlockable for the in-game iPod. The song is played when Solid Snake revisits the Heliport area of Shadow Moses Island in Metal Gear Solid 4.
English Lyrics:
Do you remember love
Love from a tormented heart
Not fleeting, as with music at night
But an eternal love
Now tainted
Now tainted
Go now and reclaim it
Go now and love
Recall the times
when you were happy.
Recall the times
when you laughed.
Life is wonderful
Do you have faith in it?
Turn your face to life,
To eternal joy.
What happened to those days?
What happened to those nights?
Do you remember
How you turned to grief? Do you remember
How you turned to sorrow?
Is the blame mine or ours?
Our feelings grew faint
What caused our grief and fighting?
Can there be beauty in life?
If you seek it out.
Can there be happiness in life?
Let's seek it.
