Theme of Bayonetta - Mysterious Destiny is the main theme of the first Bayonetta game. The lyrics reflect Bayonetta's fighting style and her feelings towards her lost memories. It is one of the most recognizable songs from the franchise.

The song was performed by Helena Noguerra, written by Nikola Obermann and composed by Masami Ueda.

Bayonetta[]

Mysterious Destiny serves as one of the main fighting themes alongside Fly Me To The Moon (∞ Climax Mix) and plays in nearly every chapter.

On the Bayonetta Original Soundtrack, Mysterious Destiny is the 17th track of disc 1. The soundtrack also includes three additional versions of the song;

  • GM03 Angel Attack (Track 8, Disc 5), a version that plays during the Angel Attack! minigame.
  • 'Prototype', (Track 24, Disc 5) an unused, early version.
  • 'Retro Ver.' (Track 28, Disc 5) a version that appears during certain cutscenes at The Gates of Hell.

Bayonetta 2[]

Mysterious Destiny is replaced with Tomorrow Is Mine as the game's new anthem.

The Retro version of the song plays in one of the cutscenes with Rodin at The Gates of Hell. It is included in the Bayonetta 2 Original Soundtrack as Track 38 on Disc 5.

EV103 Phenomenal Uncertainty, an instrumental medley of Mysterious Destiny and Tomorrow is Mine plays when Bayonetta 1 and Bayonetta 2 arrive during the final battle against Singularity. The original track with vocals plays immediately after when the player takes control of Bayonetta 1.

The tracks will be on disc 8 of the Bayonetta 3 Original Soundtrack as tracks 28 and 29 respectively.

Bayonetta Origins: Cereza and the Lost Demon[]

When learning new skills at any Sanctuary, a slow "folk" version of the song plays during the Skill Tree menu. The tree grows larger in 3 fases and each time you progress, the track that plays also gains more instruments. Though, the similarity to Mysterious Destiny is especially noticeable upon reaching the last fase.

It is included in the Bayonetta Origins: Cereza and the Lost Demon Original Soundtrack as:

  • 'Reach for the Top Skill Tree 1' (Track 5, Disc 2)
  • 'Reach for the Sky Skill Tree 2' (Track 16, Disc 3)
  • 'Reach for the Moon Skill Tree 3' (Track 13, Disc 4)

A version of Mysterious Destiny also plays during a battle with Púca when he summons Affinity. Interestingly enough, it also plays a version of Tomorrow is Mine from Bayonetta 2 right after on the very same track.

  • 'Decisive Battle! Púca, King of the Faeries' (Track 7, Disc 4) at 1:10 for the first song and 1:31 for the second.

Lyrics[]

Bayonetta, you're a mystery (Who...)
You came along with a destiny (...Are you?)
This is your life
A battlefield telling you who you are (A mystery, Bayonetta)
Bayonetta, this is your time (Hold tight)
You gonna sparkle,
You gonna shine (Moon light)
Girl, when you fight,
it looks like a dance
You are magic, you're magic (You're dancing beautiful, Bayonetta)

C'mon, c'mon
Come on, there's only one way
Your way
C'mon
Come on, you know there's only one way
Your way
Dance, fight
Spin around, spin around
Dance, fight
Fly higher, fly higher, fly higher

Bayonetta, you bury your loneliness deep down in your eyes
(Beautiful, beautiful, so powerful, so lonely)
Sadness lies in your smile (Lonely heart)
But victory shines in your eyes (You will find it)
You are still alive
(Deep down in your heart)
(Deep down inside, victory)
