Courage
Love
Friendship
Unity
Standing together in our final hour
Whither the time goes?
Thither the wind blows
Standing together
Resolute
Bold
Mortals
Weaklings
Puny
Pathetik
Speaketh the sorceress
Merciless
Cruel
Dare ye to stop me?
Oh how I loathe thee
Swarming like lokusts
Besieging my home
Time shall kompress
Tho under duress
I have kommanded
And thus shall it be
Thou who defy me
I shall enslave thee
Snare thee in fetters
And tangles of time
Long after death
Shall their names be remembered?
Quistis, Irvine, Selphie
Zell, Rinoa and Squall
Singled out
Plucked away
Cut from the herd
Now three of the six
Bear the fate of the world
Quistis the Golden
Tall and enduring
Emerald eyes burning
Whip crack by side
Squall the Lionhearted
Proud and commanding
Ice cold gaze searching
Gunblade at hip
Rinoa the Princess
Brave and supporting
Raven hair waving
Angel wing raised
Tho thou hast hurt me
I shall defeat thee
Summon my GF
Griever! The best
Tho Griever is bested
My might is not tested
I'll junktion to Griever
And fight on again
Pain beyond rekoning
Deaths finger bekoning
Yet I must fight on
Sealed is my fate
Alas! My form fails me
Yet I kannot yield to thee
I am Ultemecia
Queen of the night
Reflekt on your childhood
(Was it bad was it good?)
Your emotions, your feelings
(Do you rekall them still?)
Time will not wait for me
Always eskapes from thee
And, tho I would tell thee
I find I kannot
Hail the heros
The six march forth
Back into the world
That is safe once more
AN: An old ballady-style poem about the final fight with Ultemecia that I resurrected with many phoenix-downs and decided to post. Probably written around the same time as my songfics 'Castles in the Sky' and 'Red Alert'
