Sage's Motivation
Bigaku no Shouzou (美学の肖像, translated as "Portrait of Aesthetics") is a Heroic Legend of Arslan character image song. It debuted in Arslan: The Warriors of Legend before being complied into a CD for the Volume 6 limited edition Blu-ray/DVD of the 2015 TV series.

Lyrics[]
- 永久(とわ)に潰えぬもの
- それは崇高たる芸術のみ
- 浮世の興亡など…
- 儚くも空しい蜃気楼
- 私は捧げるのだ 身も心も
- 灰になり 消え去る日まで
- 絵筆を握りつづけよう
- 人の世の切なさを
- しかと見据え なお鋭く
- 感性を研ぎ澄ませ
- 思うがまま彩り 刻むだけ
- 見せていただこうか
- 策や武勇でなく その覚悟
- 血に濡れなお気高き 銀の刃
- 真っ直ぐな その眼差しが
- 民が為に 輝くなら
- 運命の肖像が
- 時に酷く残酷でも
- 智恵という天弓(にじ)を架け
- 希望という絵の具で塗ればよい
- この美学 永劫に
- 未来(あす)を照らせ
- ほとばしる情熱で
- しかと描く 生きた感情(おもい)
- 在りし日の 我が夢よ
- 友よ かくも世界は美しい
- watashi wa sasageru no da mi mo kokoro mo
- hai ni nari kiesaru hi made
- gahitsu wo nigiri tsuzukeyou
- hitonoyo no setsunasa wo
- shikato misue nao surudoku
- kansei wo togisumase
- omou ga mama irodori kizamu dake
- miseteitadakou ka
- saku ya buyuu de naku sono kakugo
- chi ni murenao kedaki gin no yaiba
- massuguna sono manazashi ga
- tami ga tame ni kagayaku nara
- unmei no shouzou ga
- toki ni hidoku zangoku demo
- chie touy niji wo kake
- kibou toiu enogu de nurebayoi
- kono bigaku eigou ni
- asu wo terase
- hotobashiru jounetsu de
- shikato egaku ikita omoi
- arishihi no wa ga yume yo
- tomo yo kakumo sekai wa utsukushii
- I shall dedicate my body and soul to art
- Until the day when I am reduced to ash,
- I shall be holding my paintbrush
- The sorrows of our world
- are expected and keep us on edge
- Yet I shall keep my senses sharp
- and only paint as I please
- Shall I show you?
- Not my strategies nor bravery, but my determination
- The blood-drenched nobleness belies a silver blade
- But that earnest gaze
- will shine for the people's sake
- The portrait of destiny
- may be at times violent and cruel,
- but wisdom shall be our bridge forward.
- I choose to create the painting known as hope
- My aesthetic shall shine eternal
- to tomorrow and beyond
- With fervent passion,
- I shall draw the feelings of those who have lived
- That is my dream for bygone days
- for my friends and the world are beautiful
