      +Adam Wilkinson I don't know how I was chosen for Heaven's Divide but for Sins of the Father and all the cover songs, it was Kojima San who decided. He also wanted to make all the fans happy who kept asking me to do a remake of Snake Eater..funny thing both of us had the same idea for Snake Eater- but all the other cover songs was his idea as a gift to fans. I'm eternally grateful

      +Donna Burke well thank you Donna for all your work on the series. It's a unique and meaningful franchise that was really the baby of a creative genius and your voice has punctuated many a memory for a passionate fan Base. Thanks for your reply and fingers crossed you get to work with him again.

    This is my favorite vocal MGS theme because of the pure passion and soul in Donna's voice. This feels like the perfect song to represent Big Boss's separation from The Boss.

    Lyric
    Petals of white
    Cover fields
    Flowing in grieving tears
    And all the hearts
    Once new,
    Old and shattered now
    Love can kill,
    Love will die
    Give me wings to fly
    Fleeing this world so cold
    I just wonder why
    Cold as the dark
    Now my words,
    Are frosted with every breath
    Still the heat
    Burns wild,
    Growing inside this heart
    When the wind
    Changes course
    When the stars align
    I will reach out
    To you and leave this all behind
    When heavens divide
    When heavens divide
    I will see
    The choices within my hands
    How can we ever protect
    And fight with our tiny souls
    Let me shine
    Like the sun
    Through the doubts and fear
    Do you feel the storm
    Approach as the end draws near
    When heavens divide
    Time will come
    To softly lay me down
    Then I can see a face
    That I long to see
    And for you,
    Only you
    I would give anything
    Leaving a trace
    For love
    To find a way
    When heavens divide
    I will dive into
    The fire
    Spilling the blood of
    My desire
    The very last time
    My name
    Scorched into
    The sky
    When heavens divide
    I will see
    The choices within my hands
    How can we ever protect
    And fight with our tiny souls
    Let me shine
    Like the sun
    Through the doubts and fear
    Do you feel the storm
    Approach as the end draws near
    When heavens divide
    Time will come
    To softly lay me down
    Then I can see a face
    That I long to see
    And for you,
    Only you
    I would give anything
    Leaving a trace
    For love
    To find a way
    When heavens divide
    And for you,
    Only you
    I would give anything
    Leaving a trace
    For love
    To find a way

    when this song started playing during a massive firefight in the game it was such a surreal and memorable moment that I really connected with on a personal level. It's moments such as this that make the Metal Gear series one of my all time favorites.

    I will never forget the first time I heard this song. I played through most of Peace Walker with a friend who did not speak English very well. I met him randomly in a co op, and we just kind of stuck together after that. We played the entire game together, he played more lethal, but I was always 100% non-lethal whenever I played MGS. We made it to THAT MISSION, and were facing the chopper. We were separated, both in cover, taking out enemies one by one until the wall he was using for cover was destroyed and he went down. This song was playing, I couldn't stop them all with darts. I took my first life in Peace Walker, and ran to save my friend. We made it out together.
    This was a once in a lifetime experience, and I am so thankful for you and everyone who made it possible, I will never forget it.
