Rivals

I see you in the cool starlight
Standing proud against the night
I watch you and you watch me
Rivals through eternity

You feint left as I move right
Blurring steel reflects the dawn's light
Each others moves are all we see
A dance of deadly rivalry

Watching eyes, burning bright
Scrutinise our private fight
Eyes that watch, but we can't see
That burning gaze lies heavy on me

We face each other, circling tight
As the dawn's first rays erode the dark night
And in the dawn I suddenly see
What matters here a victory?

For our duel is but a minor fight
In the struggle twixt wrong and right
There is only one side for me
And on the other I know you'll be

And when the truth chooses, finally to bite
You'll still say you were right
But like the changing tides of the sea
What you say has no meaning to me

For I'll pass, under veil of night
And depart, to find my own light
I'll play, for a while, the villain you wish of me
But in the end, all I want is to be

AN: well, was intended for another purpose entirely, but with a couple of modifications to the wording I managed to change it into a stand-alone piece that fits the canon FF8 universe ;) So, if you still haven't guessed, this is Seifer's POV for the opening FMV *giggles* gotta love those acronyms ^_~
