Shinzō wo Sasageyo!
2017 song by Linked Horizon / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
"Shinzō wo Sasageyo!" (Japanese: 心臓を捧げよ!, lit. "Dedicate your Heart!")[lower-alpha 1] is the eleventh track created by the Japanese band Linked Horizon for their second album Shingeki no Kiseki [ja]. Originally released in a shortened version on 2 April 2017 to be used as the third opening for the anime Attack on Titan, the full version would be released as part of the album about one month later on 17 May 2017. The song was composed by the band's head musician Revo, who constructed the song after re-reading the anime's manga multiple times, drawing phrases directly from it in some instances, including the song's title.
