Allegory of the Wind (風のアレゴリー, Kaze no Allegory) is an image song for Iori Yagami. This song is one of the few character related songs to only have one instrument: an acoustic guitar. It was released as an extra song for The King of Fighters '97 Arranged Soundtrack and is available on various compilation CDs. Due to the mood of the song and the general climax of The King of Fighters '97, several Japanese fans thought this song was Iori's epitaph.

Don't break my soul whoa whoa tonight Kawaita kaze to surechigau
Yaseta mikazuki yoru ni ukabu Toraeta eien wa sono bakagiri Yoake ga tooku de kowarete yuku
Don't break my soul whoa whoa tonight Tsumetai kumo ga nagareteku
Don't break my soul whoa whoa tonight Kaze ga otoshita aregorii |
English translation
Looking up at the night sky from a dark alleyway A star breaks off from the rest It gave out a cry of regret to the sky and shines a light from long ago
Don't break my soul whoa whoa tonight The dry wind passes through me
As the slim crescent moon rises in the night Trying to eternally stay that way Until it's destroyed by the distant dawn
Don't break my soul whoa whoa tonight The cold cloud flows through me
Don't break my soul whoa whoa tonight The year before last allegory of the wind | |
