Once again I'd like to give a big shoutout to Astronomic for lending me his Morpho Knight render for my thumbnail. Check out his RU-vid channel for the epic gamer Kirby speedarts with top tier video backgrounds. ru-vid.com And now I imagine you want easy-to-read lyrics so here you go: Pink Text - Galacta Knight's soul watching on from the underworld (not canon obviously) Orange Text - The Butterfly / The Butterflies White Text - The Player's POV Morpho Knight - with Lyrics! Arranged by Yuuta Ogasawara; Lyrics by Toxic Pea (0:00-0:22) Here lies Galacta Knight. His one goal of becoming canon was never fulfilled…even though he’s technically canon you morons. You don’t need to have a boss fight to play a major part in the Kirby lore. Anyways, where was I? Ah, yes! LIGMA BALLS! (0:26-0:40) Butterfly, hear my cry: Rise up and fly. Butterfly, end my plight; Show me the light! (0:42-0:54) Whence from a dimension paradisaical. Gone from merely a dream fight into reality. (0:57-1:14) Butterfly, do what’s right; Flutter & alight. (Whoa! Yup, he’s canon baby!) Morpho Knight, canonized, (Yup, he’s canon baby! He’s canon baby!) Scourge Forgo’s Blight! (He’s canon baby! Yup he’s canon! Ecce Morpho Knight!) (1:14-1:26) Endless years of torment be shared by the ultimate lifeform and knight. Accept your fate. You cannot escape your own doom when the fiend feasts upon you. (He comes in the form of a scarlet-clad warrior.) (1:26-1:40) Laughing loud! (Morpho Knight) Even if you're far apart, they're right by your side. (Hear my cry!) Hearts full of love! (Choir Singing in the background) Everyone is welcome to dream in the throes of the underworld. (Choir Singing in the background) (1:40-2:04) Running Wild! Just let the isles summon and drift on and show you the way. Fresh Spring Breeze! Adventure’s awaiting you at the dusk of a decisive fight. Go take your place and fulfill your post-game boss role. Go cast your judgement upon this forgotten soul. (2:14) I’ll be back. Bye! Fin
My headcanon is that Morpho knight is the result of Galacta Knight not resisting when the butterfly came for him. Once the knight understood that the butterfly wanted to end his suffering, he not only submitted but offered his own strength to the butterfly of the underworld so that he could spread peace across the multiverse, whether the gods want it or not.
He was always there,since the beginning He was always there,looking for Power He was always there,judging Kirby by his very actions He was always there...
I love how we have themes called ‘sword of the surviving guardian’ ‘two planets approach the Roche limit’ ‘psychic power given form’ and then just *Morpho Knight*
I think the true name of the theme is "Butterfly of Judgement" like it is in Star Allies, but the devs were just like: "I AM MORPHO KNIGHT! FEAR ME!!!"
*YUP HE'S CANON, BABY* Nothing makes my heart *flutter* more than a cover that realizes the Kirby lore. Well done. RIP Galacta from being canon. Died of ligma. At least you're still remembered as one of the four heroes of yore.
It is important to know your source material very well when making lyric covers! Also, feel free to share the video with other Kirby fans so they can enjoy it too!
I still can't believe it took Morpho Knight 2 games to get a canon *boss fight* (gotta make the destinction cause if I don't someone's gonna correct me) while Galacta Knight tried for a decade. Anyway, great work. Really captured the feeling I thought the song was already going for. We now somewhat understand what Morpho is but there's still a lot of mystery to him.
I see you went for the “Good guy” approach for Morpho! Now all we need is the “Bad guy” approach from another creator! Edit: Why has a comment saying that someone should make another Morpho Knight song become one of my most liked comments?
He may be a justifier, but we still don't know if he's truly good or not. And regardless of where his loyalties lie, you cannot escape your own doom when the fiend feasts upon you.
@@ToxicPea I don't think he's good or bad, personally I view him to just be a force of nature! A volcano can kill but it has no ill intent, know what I mean?
@@dawson2720 this is my current opinion on Morpho Knight as well. He has not shown any signs of intent, and is merely fueled by our head canons personifying him in comics and the memes and such.
No no no no no. You see, it's just a COINCIDENCE that my schedule so happens to shield me from being bombarded by angry Juno fans saying I took inspiration from his cover to make mine.
incredible. a voice that fits that well? lyrics that are not overly edgy or straightforward like many other vocal covers? the approach to morpho as to someone who actually killed galacta because he was suffering, like what the anniversary artbook said? this does their actual character justice, which is always nice to see. top tier easily.
Thank you Morpho Knight. I only request that you do not the utter the words "Ligma Balls," which causes a flame shockwave that annihilates every soul standing in a 50-meter radius (and also share this video with other Kirby fans)!
Glad to have your attention Mr. Grape! To be real with you, I never watch lyric covers myself. I dunno why; I just prefer doing the lyrics myself I guess lewl.
Mixing the lyrics with Welcome to the new world and yours actually gives it a sense of both paradise and hostility, making reference to the fact that Morpho Knight is known as an entity of paradise that casts judgement. My man, you have done the ultimate song.
Not many lyrical versions nail too well putting different lines simultaneously imo, but this does that as well as combining memes and actual deep lyrics. Wonderful
@@ToxicPea You're very welcome ~ Btw, you can only call me just Psy for short. I'm not opposed to be refered with my full username, but just Psy is faster haha
Okay so, morpho's theme is probably my favourite theme in the game, and i gotta say: this just makes it so, much, BETTER. Not just the jokes about Morpho and Galacta Knight's canonity alongside Morpho Knights iconic line, "Ligma balls!" But also the actual lyrics fitting with morpho knight being a knight from the underworld and a "harbinger of death" collecting both galacta knight's and Forgo's souls. And that Leitmotif of the main theme is just *chef's kiss* I'm not that good at rating music, though. So here's a summary: You absolutely blew this one out of the park and straight to china with this one, Mr. Oversized package of peanuts. You've really outdone yourself. Also, Leongar seems to be up next, which i am very happy about :pogger:
Thank you so much dude! I really did try and incorporate everything from the official gacha lore to the Japanese translations on Meteorz's lore video to the general thoughts of the fanbase on the character and even the leitmotifs that musical genius Ogasawara decided to use in his arrangement! And also ligma I guess.
Apparently in a Japanese text related to Morpho Knight says that he has heard the wishes of Galacta Knight to stop his endless fights being summoned and sealed away multiple times in different timelines.
@@ToxicPea hopefully in the next game. I thought it was over for him after Star Allies, but if Forgo was able to escape Morpho Knight after getting defeated in this game, then there might be a chance for Galacta Knight to survive as well
I’m happy you enjoyed this cover. You can watch the rest of the “Kirby with Lyrics” series on my RU-vid channel. I’ve been busy with college lately but I hope to return to making videos soon 🤞
Discovered this lyrics video while I was scrolling to see some remixes of one of my favourite characters from the kirby series when I found this. It's simple to say that this is fricking amazing! Apart from the silly jokes like the sad fact galacta died from ligma, some of the lore here is very nice. Good job!
I assume it means he will no longer appear in a mainline game because there’s this idea that the Galacta Knight fought in all the side modes is actually the same dimensional entity being dragged between non-canon dimensions for fights.
I loved this cover so much (though it was meta knights theme that introduced me to the channel) but regardless not only was this pretty humorous but also intense. I felt the regal almost unearthly feeling this song gives. Morpho Knight may be a being of Judgement but that’s it he’s not truly evil he’s justice given form. I loved this and it inspired me to make my own lyrics for this tune.
Galacta Knight technically doesn't die until Morpho Knight dies. Cause when Galacta Knight dies, an orange moth appears, and enters Galactica Knight's body, causing him to evolve into Morpho Knight. So, when Morpho Knight is born, Galacta Knight is still alive, technically
Uh no actually. Allow me to correct you. In Kirby Star Allies, Galacta Knight is summoned at the Divine Terminus by Hyness for an unknown purpose. Due to his nature a timeless prisoner, Galacta Knight has never died, no matter how many times he's been defeated and even shown to explode. Now enter the butterfly, which appeared in the Divine Terminus at the right time. According to the Forgotten Land and Kirby manga lore, certain butterflies in Kirby's universe have the potentiality to cast judgement and fully eliminate entities, sending them to the underworld. The butterfly, by landing on Galacta Knight, judges and absorbs him, thus killing the knight while gaining his powers. Thus, morpho knight is reborn from an ethereal butterfly inheriting the powers of an extremely powerful entity.
Hey wanna hear my headcanon?! In my AU there are many butterflies that all represent Morpho Knight similar to that camera entity in the backrooms (idk their name) every single butterfly shares every memory each one has had so let’s say one absorbed Galacta and one absorbed Fecto Forgo they would both remember what happened to each of them. They can also transfer the souls they collect to one another by touching there inteni(auto correct can help me spell this one) this allowed them to establish different setups like one butterfly at a certain point waiting for other butterflies to transfer their collected souls to them while others might hunt down the dead and lost. Also in my au Morpho is the god of death, judgement and peace. They can also see the timeline and are the only beings that know about the 4th wall and they can stop loops in the timeline by only allowing one butterfly to turn into a knight in the current point of time so they don’t accidentally meet their past or future self. Also here is a cute little fact in my au, Morpho was the only being to keep Fecto Elfilis company while he was sleeping before he split in half. Fecto Elfilis one day left a note in his dream world for Morpho to find talking about their plan to split in half and talking about how that one of the halves might die so they asked on the note for Morpho to be there when half of them dies.
I started really diving in this year and it has been a blast! I love the interesting lore and the idea that it doesn’t matter in Kirby’s point of view and that it’s all just showing the magic that friendship can cause! Compared to something like MLP (which I also love) as another fandom talking about friendship Kirby just hits differently and that’s what’s so great about it!
Words cannot describe how f*cking TOP TIER THESE LYRICS (and the original song to a SLIGHTLY lesser extent) ARE. The ONLY thing wrong about them is that they're too short. Thankfully there's an extended version. Congratulations, Mr. Pea.
Reply is part of the edit (to prevent losing heart): Damn, this is one awesome song, you really put a load of hard work into this, and hopefully the galactic knight from another time will rise from his grave. Also, looking forward to to the King of the Beast Pack!
Thanks a bunch! You can check out the rest of the Kirby with Lyrics series on my channel by clicking on my profile picture. Know that I’m currently on hiatus working on my college stuff, but I’m really hoping to return soon.
It really makes you think, why Morpho battles Kirby? He can just kill him, right? But he could have done it before. Anyways, great job with this one too. Only thing missing was Forgo screaming in pain
They probably can't. Kirby is neither dead nor has his life been unnaturally extended, which puts him outside of Morpho's jurisdiction. The fight is most likely caused by Morpho Knight moving to pick up Leon's soul and Kirby not wanting that to happen, resulting in a really intense staredown followed by fire.
I suggest looking at the color of the lyrics in particular. They greatly hint at who is singing. Oh and also I pinned a song legend as the top comment if you want an easy answer to your discovery.
I sincerely love not only how great this song is, and also how it perfectly balances incredibly deep lore with memes. I'd love to imagine that the only reason Morpho Knight can absorb somebody is if they fall for a Ligma joke. But jokes aside, I love it.
This is truly the personal headcanon of all time. In any case while you're here, I invite you to binge watch the rest of the Kirby with Lyrics series! We just finished the 3rd season a few days ago with a really big finale I'm sure you'll enjoy! ru-vid.com/group/PLzkPAmjgsqkDMSLpXvqgYJPFLHSq4TkWS
Hey toxic pea! Good job with the cover, it’s amazing :D Sorry for being late, promise I’ll comment earlier in the Leongar vid xd Also, are u planning to do “Two Planets Approach the Roche Limit”? It’s my favorite theme of the game and I’d love to have a cover of it. MAY CHRISTIAN ELFILIN LIVE FOREVER, make sure he goes to church every Saturday, ok?
He's always going to church mate. Don't worry. However I won't be covering Roche limit. It already has vocals and doesn't seem to be the type of song you'd add vocals to.
Would be hilarious, but I don't think the butterfly plays outside of the rules of the universe. He's just another cog in the Void machine, and he plays his role with an obedience so deep it might even be terrifying.
WHAT IS IT WITH RU-vid NOT NOTFYING ME OF THESE UNTIL LIKE A WEEK AFTER THEY COME OUT I'M GENUINELY PISSED THAT I DIDNT KNOW ABOUT THIS UNTIL TODAY anyways, just MMMMMMMMMMMM THIS IS SO GOOD i cant even begin do describe how much i like this rn, i'm lazy also ligma balls
Juno has a morpho knight song? I had no idea! In any case, you can watch the rest of the Kirby with Lyrics series, which you can find on my channel in a super convenient playlist! Happy listening 🎵
@@ToxicPea I can't find the Morpho Knight song from Juno songs anymore so maybe he deleted it or it was somebody else's song so yeah if you're about to search it ,no idea what really happend to it
