Midnight Oil
by TacomaSquall
I joined to help the people,
To take care of Midgar.
All around I see corruption.
I believe I can make a difference,
Working for ShinRa.
Moderating their madness.
You, in Avalanche
Attacked, destroying reactors -
Slaughtering the innocent.
ShinRa's counterstroke
Was just as monstrous as
Your actions preceding.
They told me, spy on you -
They will lead us to Neo-Midgar.
They will set the people free.
So I joined you,
And then betrayed you,
I don't blame your mistrust.
In becoming your ally,
Something I didn't expect, though,
I became your friend.
Now ShinRa calls me faithless,
And you call me traitor,
And Meteor is coming.
All I care about
Is saving the people.
Is doing my job.
I will not stop
Until that job is done,
And I need your help.
Do not trust me if you wish -
All I ask is that you
Fight alongside me.
Meteor is closing -
There is no time for rest.
The deadline is upon us.
We are the last hope
Of all humankind
to stop Jenova.
