A Thousand Words

Lenne:
Enraptured in your embrace
Amidst the searing confusion
Prolonged anarchy
Of a forever twisted spiral
(Fear encloses me and each breath is agony to take)
Zanarkand
Translucent, shimmering
Clandestine,
A city that never slumbers,
The birthplace of the forbidden machina
Shuyin:
Immaculate, serene
Accursed Yevon and its
False teachings
Magnificent aeons
Summoners sacrificed
For a deceitful death
Falling head first into the darkest abyss
(Stay with me and I will never let you go)
L:
In your arms
I take flight
Soaring a thousand
Nimbus of happiness.
Your touch, your caress
Washes away
Despair and drowning loneliness
(Free me from the chains
That threaten to swallow me
As footsteps harshly clicks against the background)
S:
Fallen angels
Clipped wings
Seeping with human fragility
Fluttering against
An unending melancholy
(Swallow breaths as hearts beat in confusion,
Surrounded by demons with evil machinations
Yet we stand so close side by side…)
L:
An unfinished song,
A broken melody
That falls upon
Deaf and tactless ears
(Fear melts slowly away as death stares at us in the eye
And I am no longer afraid because you are here beside me)
S:
I hear
A thousand words,
Unsung in its simplicity,
Real emotions like unshed tears
As you sang of us
In that final moment
(Bullets hail like poisoned rain,
Our gazes cross one final time
And we fall
Into the abyss.)
