Resolve
I remember a time when I was so sure that I understood the flow of life
We are born, we live, and then we die
This is the natural flow of the world, the meaning of All is One, and One is all
So sure was I that I could change the flow without disrupting it
So foolish was I that I thought I could bring her back from heaven's door
That night the forbidden was attempted, that night I failed
That night I almost lost you brother mine, as the shadows swallowed you, body, mind, and soul
My foolishness has cost you dear,
As I had persuaded you to help me perform the transmutation
But that was it, you were only helping, yet still heaven's door took you away
Trading an arm for your soul, I bound you to a body of steel with my blood
For your body was gone, and I was only missing my arm and leg
Great pain have I caused you
And there are times I know that you would be better off without me
But I am determined to return you to flesh
This is my heart's resolve
