Systems Of The Mage- A parody of 'Victims of the Age' by Mark Heard

Verse 1

Cloud's out on the floor,

and I am out in my heels.

Cid, it's said, can't seem to keep it real.

Ninja girl says, 'Caught Ya!'

Mark this: no, no, no!

Don't be dancing in the even flow

Chorus

Caught between these choices,

The fighting and the stage,

One too many voices

For the systems of the Mage.

Verse 2

Reno says 'I love you'.

His streak says 'That's a lie!'

Even Vince said, 'You only get one try.'

Aeris don't say nothing,

Barret don't know why.

Could Cloud be screaming in the silent night?

(Repeat Chorus 2x)
