I just want to say that I don't see Kuja as the psychotic, demented monster some people think he is. I think the poor guy can't control the destruction he is causing-that it's something that takes him over without his control, much to his horror. These lyrics are based on that and written from Kuja's perspective.

Kuja's Theme-Original Lyrics

Upside down,

Thrown all 'round,

What have I

become now?

I don't know

anything about

myself anymore.

{bass clef piano part}

A destruction machine-

I can no longer look

at myself in the mirror.

My hands have taken lives,

and as they felt my wrath,

I tossed my head and laughed.

Anger controls my mind,

My soul I cannot find.

What is this monster that

unvoluntarily causes me to inflict

such despair without care?

What is my purpose here?

I am filled up with fear.

My actions are out of my hands now,

What to do?

'Shamed inside,

Want to hide,

Scared of truth,

Twisted mind.

The line 'tween

wrong and right

blurs and fades

slowly gray.

I search inside and yet

I only find more pain.

Is this what causes me

to act the way I do?

Fits of rage eat away

at my soul,

no control.

Pillars in my kingdom

have started to crumble.

Can't get away from this,

Don't know when madness will

return to wreak havoc on

the world.
