Track DescriptionAvailable in:
“A Stranger I Remain” is a boss theme and a character song for Mistral in Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance.
There are two versions of the song. Before the game was released officially, the demo versions of the game contained many prototype or beta songs before being remixed. This included multiple snippets from unfinished versions of the song.
The original composition of this song was named by fans "Unknown Battle Song A - Possibly Mistral's Theme (Here I Come)" after the extraction. This version has entirely different lyrics from the final song and is noticeably less polished. The files also contain snippets from a version much closer resembling the final and official version "A Stranger I Remain (Maniac Agenda Mix)" from the album MGR:R Vocal Tracks with the only major difference from the released track being the song's mix not yet being finalized.
Its lyrics talk about a constant stranger who can only consider the battlefield her home. Owing to Mistral's partial French heritage, some of the lyrics are also sung in French. The translation of the French lines are "The heat bothers me, but it's the creaking of the boat that woke me."
Aside from the fight against Mistral herself, it also plays when fighting against her spare body in R-04.
