When you think about Attack on Titan, you are instantly reminded of your favourite scenes from it. And a show this excellent has countless instances, such as scenes from Erwin’s Charge (S2E11), Hero (S3E17), Grisha’s That Day (S3E20), Declaration Of War (S4E5), The Dawn of Humanity (S4E28), etc.

One such scene which is insanely popular is from the episode — Warrior (S2E6). The thing that makes this scene so memorable is the background score that plays alongside the visuals. That song is YouSeeBIGGIRL/T:T by Hiroyuki Sawano. This is easily one of the most liked & recognized song of the series.

**Spoilers Ahead**

But the part of this song that plays in this episode just before Reiner’s & Bertholdt’s transformations is just instrumental with no lyrics. It fits perfectly with the build-up in the scene, elevating the tension and releasing it all at once when they transform.

Now imagine remixing that beautiful music with epic lyrics that perfectly fit with the beat and the tone…
