"Revolution is a Blade" is the battle theme against Salmael's first phase in Persona 5 Tactica. The song is sung by Lyn Inaizumi. It shares some melody with the intro song of the game, "Revolution in Your Heart".
Lyrics[]
Greedy as one can be
Unaware of all the tragedy
Never see what's on the line
Letting it slip through the mind
Hungry to make big change
Oblivious to those out of range
Convinced you are right
Blinded by the light
Visions of leading something worthy
Possibilities waiting high above
Will it ever be enough
Can't forget that not all will be as tough
Know that where you stand is a fallen land
Not anything grand
Is it so hard to pursue
Life of solitude off the radar
And discard the vanguard
Revolution is a blade
Sacrifices made
Tranquil time betrayed will recur
Only brings you pain
Nothing you would gain
Let go of your pain and suffer no more
Hear the jeopardized
Listen to their cries
Often minimized by louder kind
Aiming to ascend
Breaking more than you mend
Do not dare to pretend it's all fine
Getting the message yet?
Ambition is a greater threat
Avoid all the needless hurt
Better to remain inert
So stop and turn around
Do not bury your head in the ground
Stand back and be wise
Find other allies
In the end all will meet in one place
Life is not a race to go and transcend
Realize you have got enough
Even without vocation you can laugh
Long as peace prevails over many trails
No grief that entails
Free yourselves from a dream
That is more than it seems
In exchange tie the chain once again
Revolution is a blade
Sacrifices made
Tranquil time betrayed will recur
Only brings you pain
Nothing you would gain
Let go of your pain and suffer no more
Hear the jeopardized
Listen to their cries
Often minimized by louder kind
Aiming to ascend
Breaking more than you mend
Do not dare to pretend it's all fine
