Mother,
He would cry her name to the searing lands of forgotten ice and flame,
With hate and fear in his eyes like a dying child's in a world which had raped his innocence
His ageless face and his undying sorrow,
His undying fear,
His undying loss in faith
Turned to the heavens with the eyes of rage and scorn,
He knows his wrong and he curses his beautiful eyes and his angelic vehemence
Messenger,
Oh Messenger,
The feathers of my sorrow spread and I am alone once more,
I fear that I have always been
Mother,
With her name on his lips and her heart shared with his,
I stand and I know more than he will ever hold dear
Mother,
He calls her name in confidence,
He lets her evils spread throughout his mangled body
I know the lies that have made his insanity
These sleepless nights do not spare my guilt,
Of the One Winged Angel,
Lucrecia's soul and sorrow
Mother,
He cries her name as his soul is ripped apart,
His wings are clipped and he plummet's
I hear his scream and there is nothing that I can do
He has given his soul as a wounded child and he cries to the world
I hold his heart,
I hold his soul,
I hold his secrets to those unknown
Sleepless nights are yours to wish upon as the stars stream the velvet night
All sins are forgiven
I bare the weight of the soundless evils of the omniscient sky
I close my eyes and hold you true
Requiem for the One Winged Angel...
