The Hot Wind Blowing

"The Hot Wind Blowing" is the final track of the album Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance Vocal Tracks, not included in the physical version of the game. To date, is rumored to be part of the DLC of Sam's history.

The song literally describes the life and vision of the soldiers in the war, his mission, to fight without getting recognition at the cost of his life and regardless of the reasons, as a weapon taking orders, staying active despite the low, without surrender, by the welfare of others, at the cost of his life, making the necessary sacrifices, wherever and whenever, despite the manipulation that people may suffer in the media.

This lyrics has a certain equality with The Only Thing I Know For Real, indicates the reflection of the reasons why the mercenaries fighting, only to endure until fate marks the end of his life, no matter what, a method of subsistance, the only thing they know and can do; survival.

«Wind(s) of Destruction» are two references. First (in plural, with letter S: "Winds") is for Desperado Enforcement LLC., formed by Sundowner, Mistral, Monsoon and Samuel Rodrigues, a comparative way to the life of a mercenary who takes orders, acts and disappears when he is indicated (in the same way that the wind carries the physical "destruction" caused in a territory by a lost and forgotten past war). And second (in singular, without letter S: "Wind") is a benchmark comparison, "wind of destruction" as the person who carried out the acts.

Lyrics
The hot wind blowing, checking eyes across the sand

The crumbling buildings in miles are all that stand

Just like the buffalo got me following the herd

We try to justify all the things that have occurred

I know what I've been told; the wishes of the people can't be controlled

I know what I've been told; the wishes of the people can't be controlled

Heat of the desert; dust settles on my face!

Without a compass; the soldier knows no disgrace!

Out of the ashes; the eagle rises still!

Freedom is calling to all men who bend their will!

Here I am, dirty and faceless

Waiting to heed your instruction

On my own, invisible warrior

I am a Wind of Destruction!!

...to all men who bend their will!

We fight for justice in a forgotten place!

Fulfill our duty and vanish without a trace!

Don't need a medal for all the man we kill!

Freedom is calling to all men who bend their will!

WIND OF DESTRUCTION!!
