The Angel of Death Deterred

He descends like a dark shadow Cold and deadly, fearless Angel Death and destruction Is wrought with your hands They are covered in blood Will mine join the rest?

The cold metal Goliath Obliterating those who stand against you. You believe me to be one of them. Gave a promise of my death When will you claim me? I will stay here trembling Stock still I will stand unwavering. The feet of that machine pounds the ground Shaking it, breaking it, the world trembles Yet I will stay here. Even if the world shall fall apart.

The sword in that gundam's hand Could destroy this fragile girl in seconds Even the shield used for defense Could crush this body into oblivion Kill me now! Will it make you happy? If that's what you want! Bring a smile to your melancholy face? Of the human that lurks somewhere Within the monster of a machine

The Earth shakes and screams in agony A tower collapses, crumbling above It will strike me dead Give your promise life

My savior steps down His knightly shield covering Protecting me from harm Saving my life

Why? Why did you save me? Why didn't you kill me? Why?

Although your face is hidden The rage is clear Along with a confusion That mirrors my own Heero… is that you in there? The boy The human heart that beats within the machine

Unheeding my words Heero lashes out at those around him Until there is no one Except the girl whose life he saved

Once and again The Angel descends The world trembles I cannot

Your shield flies past Missing its target by inches No! How could you make a mistake? But you did… purposely

Silence passes between us Time is frozen Without a word The Angel flies away

Finally my frozen lips move. Heero! Don't run away from me! Why do you fear me? What don't you want to see?
