Heart's Ballad By: Naranja Ruida

My master has burned,

I could not stop the fire.

She said she'd give me flesh,

But proved to be a liar.

Holding her limp body, I cried;

*What is it to be human?

Give me something real.

What is a heart?

Please help me feel.

Show me … I want a soul!*

I wandered through a ghost town,

Watching as a crimson sun flew by.

I tripped along the narrow streets,

But was caught by a hand as blue as the sky.

Looking in his sapphire eyes, I pleaded;

**

A new home, my home.

It feels as if something's begun …

So very kind, he fills up my heart …

No … Impossible … I don't have one.

Going to his master, I begged;

**

"I could try, but not guarantee …

The pain you might feel,

Is it worth the risk?"
This final test was my love's seal.

Bracing my metallic heart, I whispered,

**

What is it to be human,

Love … happiness … illness.

AaaAh

What is a heart,

Beating … throbbing … breaking.

AaaAh

I want a soul,

Shining … thriving … dying …

… AaaAh … oooh…
