Kiss of Death

by Hiryu Kaga
to Kiss of Death by Black Sabbath

This is no ordinary soul, that you're destroying.

It's a soul that begs to understand. You know he'd never hurt you, and still you don't believe it, lying to yourself.


Just another life that drifts along with the sands of time.

You know he's nothing to me. Too weak, way out of my league.


We tried to show you on your way, but still you cannot see, you're hurting me.

You're hurting yourself, and you enjoy it. Because you're afraid of the truth, and it hurts you to see that he cares. But you can't hold on forever.

You told too many lies and so it ends now.


You tried to touch me, but then I knew your plan.
You tried to take my world away, oh no.

I couldn't let him change me. No one changes me. I build my own life the way I see it. And he tried to barge into it.

Now I see it, it's as clear as day. No you'll never stand a chance, oh no you'll never stand a chance.


You tried to lead me, to the land where you keep your lies.

You tried to convince yourself that they are true. But exposed to the truth, your walls just fell. You had it coming.

But I've seen this road before, oh yeah.


There is no reason why I should listen now.

I don't want to hear you, to see him anymore. He went too far, and he's too weak.

No you'll never stand a chance, oh no you'll never stand a chance.


Pathetic. Running away, so unlike you. Why do you think that he would hurt you?


So many people tried before, but still I came through stronger than before.

Now I don't care, he doesn't care, I'm all alone. He won't come to help me.

Someone like you could never get through my door no more.


So, you do need his help after all.


Nothing you can do will hurt me, I am indestructible.


Are you sure of that?


Nothing you can do will hurt me, I am indestructible. Yeah.


Every lie that you tell you get closer.
Closer to the edge of the cauldron and into the fire, yeah.

You're destroying yourself, and him as well. You're desperately patching up your ruined walls, but they will not hold for long now.

Every life you destroy will return, it will come back and haunt you,
Forever and ever.


Nothing you can do will hurt me, I am indestructible.

I don't need them. I don't need him. I don't even need you, myself, life! And no one will find me now. No one will even look. But I don't care.

Nothing you can do will hurt me, I am indestructible. Yeah.


This is no ordinary soul, that you're destroying.

It's him, and it's you. Now you're here alone, death slowly coming. You could be with him, but you had to have it your way. Two souls will die tonight.


Just another life that drifts along with the sands of time...

Hiryu's Post-productive Rant:

Gloomy enough? At first, I wanted to write Shinji vs. Asuka, but somehow it ended up with Asuka vs. herself.
What can I say, Black Sabbath makes perfect material for angsty songfics...

Oh yeah, in case you're confused: I never heard this song, but I found the lyrics very fitting. So if the song itself doesn't fit this fic, don't hate me ;).

Tirade of a Demented Dragon:

Yes, I know. Another songfic. Somehow, this is the only thing I can start and finish lately. Writers' block, so early... Due to that, the re-writing of "CoA: Act I" is progressing very slowly and I really don't know when I'll start posting something more than short pieces like this one. If anyone's actually waiting for me to write something serious, please be patient. (yeah, right; who wants to read the crap I write anyway...)
