Whatever life holds in store for me, I will never forget these words: "With great power comes great responsibility."

"Guren no Yumiya" (in Japanese: 紅蓮 の 弓矢, "Crimson Bow and Arrow" in English), also known as Feuerroter Pfeil und Bogen, is the first opening song for the popular anime series Attack on Titan, and is preformed by Linked Horizon. The song is about humanity's war against a voracious race of giant humanoid creatures called the Titans that devour humans and nearly wiped out the human race a century ago.

Version #1[]
Are you the food?1
No, we are the hunters!
Not knowing the name of the trampled flower
The fallen bird yearns for the wind to come
No matter how much you pray, nothing will change
What changes this moment is the determination to fight
Pigs that sneer at the resolve to climb over corpses and advance
Have peace as livestock, live in false prosperity, and be as free as starved wolves!
The humiliation of captivity is the beginning of the counterattack. Beyond the walls, the prey is slain by Jäger
His body burned by an overflowing urge to kill, he will pierce the twilight with scarlet
With the crimson bow and arrow!
Draw the bow and chase it, don't let the enemy escape
Fire the arrow and corner it, never let the enemy escape
The bowstring pulled until it is about to snap
Endless volleys continued, until the target drops dead
It is not the weapon nor the skill
that kills the prey
but the definite will to kill itself
We are the hunters hot as flames!
We are the hunters cold as ice!
We are the hunters! Draw yourself into the arrow!
We are the hunters! Pierce all that comes before you!
Those that can accomplish their goal
Are those that can discard for their goal
To think that a dream can come true without taking a single risk...
Foolish indecisiveness, nothing more than an illusion, what even now maybe reckless bravery...
The pawn of liberty...the charge of the assault
Victory to the slave that runs!
The absurdity in life is the beginning of the onslaught
The stolen lands, the world itself as Eren desires,
As unstoppable rage penetrates him, to the dusk he brings violet skies
The bow and arrow of Hell
Version #2[]
[Are you prey? No, we are the hunters!
Crimson Bow and Arrows]
Not knowing the name of the trampled flower
Birds that have fallen from the sky because of tired of waiting upon the wind
Prayers won’t change anything
Only the resolve to fight can change the reality
You pigs who sneer at our will to step over corpses and march onwards
Enjoy the peace of livestock…false prosperity…freedom of the dying wolves that hunger!
The humiliation of entrapment is our cue to counterattack
Beyond the castle walls lies a hunter killing his prey
With a surging killer impulse scorching his body, he pierces the dusk scarlet
With a crimson arrow
Drawing his bow, he takes after his target; he won’t let it escape
Releasing his arrow, he closes upon it; he won’t let it escape
He bends his bow to its limits, the string on the verge of snapping
He’ll release it, time and time again, until the target draws its last breath
What truly kills a prey, are not weapons nor your skills at using it
But your own sharp killing intent
[We are the hunters!] Passionate as flames!
[We are the hunters!] Cold as ice!
[We are the hunters!] Pour your heart and soul into your arrow!
[We are the hunters!] Boldly go forth and pierce through everything!
[Attack on the titans
The boy from back then will soon take up the sword]
[Who only laments his powerlessness won’t be able to change a thing
They boy from back then will soon take up the black sword Hate and rage are a double-edged blade
Soon and he will bare his fangs against fate]
Ones that could hope to change anything
Are ones who could bear to abandon anything
How could you hope to attain anything without bearing any risk at all?
Foolish assumptions…they are but mere phantasms…right now, we could do with even reckless courage…
The advance guards of freedom… betting on their offensive
Victory to the charging slaves!
All this absurdity forced upon us are our cue to attack
Deprived of his horizon, Eren yearns for freedom
With relentless killer impulse assailing his body, he carries violet to dusk
With an arrow from Hades
