Quietly I waited, beside the broken remains of the sea,
My youth and innocence cracked like glass,
My world need not be set free...
Silently I stood there, pretending not to care,
In a world where beauty is unforgiving,
My voice I always dared...
Hopelessly I stumbled, loving you always kept me down,
The rain falls gently like smoke and ashes,
As my life shatters on the ground...
Tearfully I shuttered, the mecha giants destroy it all,
The visions of a war-torn world are now reality,
My nightmares I can no longer stall...
But then you call out my name in a voice like thunder but so softly,
I couldn't see the gun you had behind your back,
And then you hugged me and the world turned white and chalky,
As I felt the pistol cock behind my back...
I look into your eyes with desperation,
The pain you wear is deceiving to your mood,
The quiet, solid, silent, perfect soldier,
Who's whole life had made my mere heart move...
So go ahead, my dark and perfect soldier,
Pull the trigger and let your mission meet its end,
There are no more tears for Heaven or for Buddah,
My soul has gone ahead and made amends.
But know that now the times are surely changing,
And as the cruel, cold metal stabs my pale, white skin,
And as I fall against you, slumping and now bleeding,
You kiss my forehead and say, "I'm with you till the end..."
The ground, my love, is harsh and uninviting,
And your last words saved for me are true to form,
"I will never let them take or let destroy us"
And you never even hear my silent gasp...
You killed yourself, my savior, with a bullet,
You'd threatened me with before so many times,
And now we've died together in a moment,
We passed over and through enemy lines...
And thinking back on all those many years,
When I grabbed your helmet and asked, "Are you all right?"
And I shivered when you said that, "I will kill you."
But the bear you left made up and saved my life...
I know, my prince, you'd never really hurt me,
And the bullet in my back was just a way
Of you saving me again from evil virtue,
And know that I love you more for that in every way.
So no more tears, you fallen foreign mistress,
You blonde-headed angel of the night,
I'll just close my eyes, yes, for just a moment,
And let myself be absorbed into the light...
My youth and innocence cracked like glass,
My world need not be set free...
Silently I stood there, pretending not to care,
In a world where beauty is unforgiving,
My voice I always dared...
Hopelessly I stumbled, loving you always kept me down,
