Éric Serra - (born on September 9, 1959) is a French composer. He has often worked on the movies of Luc Besson.
Éric Serra's father Claude was a famous French songwriter in the 1950s and '60s, and, as such, Éric was exposed to music and its production at a young age. His mother died when he was just seven years old. In the early '80s, Serra met director Luc Besson and was asked to score his first movie L'Avant dernier (1981). Serra has scored all of Besson's directed movies to date and several that Besson has written such as Wasabi.
In 1995, Éric Serra was chosen to compose the score to the James Bond film GoldenEye, which was quite an avant-garde soundtrack compared to previous Bond films. It met with mixed reviews from film critics.
Occasionally, and mainly due to his album released by this name, he is known in credits as RXRA (pronounces like his name). An example is Little Light of Love on the Fifth Element OST, it is performed by RXRA.

So if you got em, light em up
Open your minds
Lets go to war
Today's the day
The time is here
We take back control
For as it was written my friend
So shall it be
I ride with the most high
Who can stand against me
Ride with me
An advance towards the light
In the darkness
I break it down slowly
Roll up and spark this
In this moment on this track
I attack all the lies
We accepted as truth
We were duped
By the schoolbooks and teachers
The blind leading the blind
Through the garden of eden
But time after time
We had the prophets to lead us
Still line after line
Was written down to decieve us
But they will never defeat us
Until the end of time
I will rebel in the face of all tyrants
The fire burns on high
As above so below, now be careful
Until the end of time
We will fight for the rights of our children
The fire burns inside
My curiosity leads me to Zion
Wake the fuck up
So if you got em - Light em up
Warriors
Come out and play
In the year 20-07 AD
The working man got so tired of waiting
Not all those who have eyes
Will see what I'm saying
Not all those who have ears
Will hear a note that we playing
Homie you know me
I don't fuck with no phonies
All these cronies in this industry
Can all kneel down and blow me
I came to do battle
With the counsel of churches
Politicians and gunmen
Who would lie, rob, and hurt us
Keep us deaf, blind, and dumb
So we can't find out guns
Asleep when the storm troopers come
For our moms
So run nigga run
Til you can't catch your breath
It's too late
'cause you already dead
But you wide awake
You already dead
But you wide awake
You already dead
But you wide awake
You already dead
You're in a fucking coma
Until the end of time
I will rebel in the face of all tyrants
The fire burns on high
As above so below, now be careful
Until the end of time
We will fight for the rights of our children
The fire burns inside
My curiosity leads me to Zion
Listen carefully
I don't have much time left
There are so many things I want to tell you
But we gotta be careful
I think I'm being watched
Galileo was imprisoned by the church
For exposing that the earth was not at the center of the universe
So in 1616 they already had control
Of what they thought you and I were allowed to know
They knew the world wasn't flat
But that was knowledge we weren't supposed to have
They knew all about the new world
Way before Christopher Columbus set sail
Witness the rebirth of Atlantis
And we're all apart of it
What a beautiful fucking time to be alive, eh?
You know I'm not surprised the Illuminati had to keep it a secret
I'm surrounded by fucking idiots
Jesus fucking fucking Christ
Until the end of time
The fire burns on high
Until the end of time
The fire burns inside
My curiosity leads me to Zion
Wake the fuck up
So if you got em - light em up
Warriors
So if you got em - light em up
Warriors

Alright
Let's begin
So if you got em, light em up
If you have any substances, use them to get in the right mindset
Open your minds
Be receptive to new ideas
Lets go to war
Let's take action and fight for our beliefs
Today's the day
The time has come for us to take control
The time is here
It is time for us to act
We take back control
We are not going to be controlled by others anymore
And conquer our fears
We are going to overcome our fears
For as it was written my friend
According to prophecy
So shall it be
It will come to pass
I ride with the most high
I am guided by a higher power
Who can stand against me
No one can stop me
Ride with me
Join me
An advance towards the light
A journey towards enlightenment
In the darkness
In a time of ignorance
I break it down slowly
I reveal the truth gradually
Roll up and spark this
Light up a substance
In this moment on this track
Right now, on this journey
I attack all the lies
I expose all of the falsehoods
We accepted as truth
The things we believed to be true
We were duped
We were deceived
By the schoolbooks and teachers
By the education system
The blind leading the blind
People who don't know the truth leading others who also don't know
Through the garden of eden
Through the metaphorical garden of knowledge
But time after time
Repeatedly
We had the prophets to lead us
We had leaders who spoke the truth
Still line after line
Despite this, written information continued to deceive us
Was written down to decieve us
Information was recorded falsely to mislead us
But they will never defeat us
We will never be defeated
Until the end of time
Forever
I will rebel in the face of all tyrants
I will fight against all oppressive leaders
The fire burns on high
A strong passion burns within me
As above so below, now be careful
The universe is connected, and we should be cautious of our actions
We will fight for the rights of our children
We will stand up for the next generation
The fire burns inside
Our passion motivates us
My curiosity leads me to Zion
My desire to learn leads me to enlightenment
Wake the fuck up
Pay attention
Warriors
Brave soldiers
Come out and play
Take action
In the year 20-07 AD
In modern times
The working man got so tired of waiting
The average person became impatient with the slow pace of change
Not all those who have eyes
Not everyone is aware
Will see what I'm saying
Will understand my message
Not all those who have ears
Not everyone is listening
Will hear a note that we playing
Will grasp the meaning behind our music
Homie you know me
You know who I am
I don't fuck with no phonies
I don't associate with fake people
All these cronies in this industry
All of the corrupt people in this business
Can all kneel down and blow me
They can all surrender to me
I came to do battle
I am ready to fight
With the counsel of churches
Against religious leaders
Politicians and gunmen
Against corrupt officials and violent individuals
Who would lie, rob, and hurt us
People who deceive, steal from, and harm us
Keep us deaf, blind, and dumb
Prevent us from gaining knowledge
So we can't find out guns
So we cannot defend ourselves
Asleep when the storm troopers come
Unprepared when danger arrives
For our moms
For our loved ones
So run nigga run
Flee for your life
Til you can't catch your breath
Until you are exhausted
It's too late
It is already over
'cause you already dead
You have already lost
But you wide awake
But you are alert
You're in a fucking coma
You are unaware of the danger
Listen carefully
Pay close attention
I don't have much time left
I am running out of time
There are so many things I want to tell you
I have a lot of important information to share
But we gotta be careful
We need to be cautious
I think I'm being watched
I believe I am under surveillance
Galileo was imprisoned by the church
Galileo was punished by religious authorities
For exposing that the earth was not at the center of the universe
For revealing a scientific truth that conflicted with the church's teachings
So in 1616 they already had control
In the 17th century, religious institutions had significant power
Of what they thought you and I were allowed to know
Of the information they deemed acceptable for the public to access
They knew the world wasn't flat
They knew the shape of the earth was not as believed
But that was knowledge we weren't supposed to have
That was information they wanted to keep from us
They knew all about the new world
They had knowledge about unexplored lands
Way before Christopher Columbus set sail
Before the explorer's famous voyage
Witness the rebirth of Atlantis
Observe the resurgence of an ancient civilization
And we're all apart of it
We are all involved in this momentous event
What a beautiful fucking time to be alive, eh?
The present is an exciting time
You know I'm not surprised the Illuminati had to keep it a secret
I am not shocked that a secretive group wanted to hide this knowledge
I'm surrounded by fucking idiots
I am frustrated by the ignorance of those around me
Jesus fucking fucking Christ
An exclamation of disbelief
Warriors
Brave soldiers
So if you got em - Light em up
If you have any substances, use them to get in the right mindset
