ALPHONSE
Brother…
EDWARD
(smiling) It's okay Al…I know he'll be alright…
NOAH
Well, I'd better head back and pack…
EDWARD
Noah, wait.
NOAH
Yes?
EDWARD
I can't believe he's gone
I can't believe I'm here.
I can't begin to understand
This long passed year
My brother is with me
And now you're leaving
A life of sacrifice
Is that my destiny?
ALPHONSE
Soon the snow will fall
The streets covered in white
The doves will spread their wings
And guide our hopes in flight
Something has been missing
Ever since I came
I thought I found the piece
But my pain is just the same
Brother can't you see?
That you're finally here with me?
Why do you miss him so?
Why must we go?
BOTH
Tonight
When the clock hits Mitternacht
As the darkness covers the city
There is a sense of wicked vice
As we're reminded
Of our sacrifice
Death and devastation
A life on the line
All the things we lost
As we paid the moral fine
Of our sacrifice
EDWARD
The sky turns from blue to gray
And the city flows with the tide
All we can due is bend to the wind
And watch with each passing day
Slowly I lose my breath
As I think of everything I've done
Why must I see things like this?
What have I done wrong?
Brother can't you see?
That I've wanted you with me?
But the price I paid to get you.
An immoral sacrifice was he.
ALPHONSE
Yet all we do is dream
And climb atop every mountain
We search across the plains
And trudge through every stream
Was the searching worth it?
Did we actually succeed?
Is this what we wanted?
And is this why we paid no heed?
Is life here worth living?
Was it worth losing him?
Brother, where's your heart?
Did you lose it on a whim?
NOAH
Boys, you are troubled souls.
I can sense through your guise
I'll stay and soothe your pain
I can see it in your eyes.
ELRIC BROTHERS
Tonight
When the clock hits Mitternacht
As the darkness covers the city
There is a sense of wicked vice
As we're reminded
Of our sacrifice
Death and devastation
A life on the line
All the things we lost
As we paid the moral fine
Of our sacrifice
During all those years, what did we find?
Was life worth living, when we were blind?
To our sacrifice.
