For whatever reason - possibly because I hadn't thought of doing it yet - Warrior's Legacy has never had a standardized citation for an opening titles theme, the way Neon Exodus Evangelion did. This is a little odd, because for as long as I can remember it's had one, complete with a mental title sequence I tend to envision in an essentially cheerful character-spotlight montage style, composed of about equal parts action and lighter moments and with only the slightest dash of Overarching Menace to remind the viewer that, though this is a fairly lighthearted affair most of the time, the stakes are ultimately pretty high.

I used this song as Corwin's song of the day once on the UF board (that was before there was a Symphony board), and it fits him too, but it was WL's theme music first. The bits in italics would be in the edit used to make the aforementioned title sequence, which would end up being right around two minutes long.

Basic elemental
Instinct to survive
Stirs the higher passions -
Thrill to be alive
Alternating currents
In a tidewater surge
Rational resistance
To an unwise urge:
Anything can happen

From the point of conception
To the moment of truth
At the point of surrender
To the burden of proof
From the point of ignition
To the final drive
The point of the journey
Is not to arrive
Anything can happen

Basic temperamental
Filters on our eyes
Alter our perceptions
Lenses polarize
Alternating currents
Force a show of hands
Rational responses
Force a change of plans:
Anything can happen

From a point on a compass
To magnetic north
The point of the needle
Moving back and forth
From the point of entry
Until the candle is burned
The point of departure
Is not to return
Anything can happen

I set the wheels in motion
Turn up all the machines
Activate the programs
And run behind the scenes
I set the clouds in motion
Turn up light and sound
Activate the window
Watch the world go 'round

From the point of conception
To the moment of truth
At the point of surrender
To the burden of proof
From the point of ignition
To the final drive
The point of the journey
Is not to arrive
Anything can happen
