[edit] Overview
Norihiko Hibino wrote the game's opening theme, "Snake Eater",[1] a distinctly Bond-like vocal track, as performed by Cynthia Harrell.[2] The song also appears in Metal Gear Solid 4 as an unlockable for the in-game iPod.
A version of "Snake Eater" unofficially known as the "The Boss Mix" will play during the fight with The Boss when five minutes are left in the fight. At that point, the song will play up to the chorus and then replay from the first verse with vocals. After that, the song will play through normally and conclude with the dramatic sting. Another version of "Snake Eater" also exists, known as the "Abstracted Camouflage" mix.
In Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots, the opening drum beats from Snake Eater will sometimes play when you equip The Patriot.
[edit] Lyrics
What a thrill...
With darkness and silence through the night
What a thrill...
I'm searching and I'll melt into you
But you're so supreme!
I'd give my life
Not for honor, but for you! [Snake Eater]
In my time there'll be no one else
Crime, it's the way I fly to you! [Snake Eater]
I'm still in a dream,
Snake Eater!
Someday you go through the rain
And someday, you feed on a tree frog
This ordeal, the trial to survive
For the day we see new light!
I'd give my life
Not for honor, but for you! [Snake Eater]
In my time there'll be no one else
Crime, it's the way I fly to you! [Snake Eater]
I'm still in a dream,
Snake Eater!
I am still in a dream,
Snake Eater!
[Snake Eater]
