The reason why I'm so useless. I try even though I know I can't do anything right. Even when I said I wouldn't try anymore, I kept on trying anyway.

There's a vulture on my shoulder

And he's telling me to give in

Always hissing right in my ear

What is your duty? To look the universe in the face and then spit in its eye. To die with a curse on your lips and your finger on the trigger. To know that you are doomed, but try anyway.

Sprit Guide:...you're still going to fight Snake though, right?

Vulcan Raven: Oh hell yes.

Why give up?
Why give in?
It's not enough, it never is.
So I will go on until the end.

Certainty of death? Small chance of success? ...What are we waiting for?
