Orange Eternity, JASPER
Remembering eras past, fighting years alone
Harmony was all a dream, shattered before thought
What is your life even for, with your lord forever gone
Your service is all you are - an inescapable fate
Jasper, Jasper
Masterless and lost
Soldiers follow the path in your wake, unquestioningly
Jasper Jasper
Sent from star to star
Emptiness, eating you whole, how much longer will it feed
...Eternity!
Good memories, glory in war, no one had to think
The Gem race truly lived, racking up conquests
Then tragedy broke the fun - existence dimmed
Nothing left but sad dreams and vengeance never fulfilled
Jasper, Jasper
Endless tedium
Stifling routines, no further chance to be a warrior
Jasper Jasper
Sorrow buried deep
Searching for a new purpose, yet the only thing left is
...Eternity!
Danger and risk replace the old exuberance of war
Escort missions, armed search and rescue - it's still not enough
Anything to feel that high of surging emotions
Togetherness or comradery, whatever it takes!
Jasper, Jasper
Circling the void
Always searching, hoping to find another hated enemy
Jasper Jasper
Loyal to the end
Looking for and feasting on joy, pride and belonging for
...Eternity!

(It was either this or Hakaider no Uta, and the original fits Jasper so well on its own that I had trouble writing new lyrics!)
