Disclaimer: I do not any of the characters or places in Ico.
YEAH! An Ico category! WOOOOOOOOOOOO! I'll do my happy dance! *Puzzled look* Wait, I don't have a happy dance... Oh, well, I'll make one up *flails around franticly, falls*
Anyways, yeah, this fic is more than a little confusing. My brain speaks Sanskrit, plus I have no idea whether this a poem or not, so don't ask me, kay?
Read, review. You know you wanna.
Oh, that someone hears the cry of the unwanted and unloved
That someone help them now in their need.
That some slay the horseman and break the iron cage
And lay for them a path along the sea.
Say not the tomb is his fate;
Nor hollow eternity hers.
Oh, crack the tomb and shatter the cage.
Let the prison fall into the sea
And raise them up the heaven.
Sometimes we think we're here alone; that it would be so much easier to lay down and die, but we can't. You can't. When there's someone else there, someone counting on you, trusting you, you can't go. For her sake, continue. You see her; you know her pain. How can you let go? Get up; she needs you.
Wake up.
Wake up.
Wake up, boy.
How could anyone do this?
This is like the dream.
How can this be?
Oh, let them go free!
Why does she torment
These innocent children?
Oh, let the weary rest!
When you're alone and fallen, you trust in the hand that pulls you up. You don't question motive; you hold tight. You don't really have a choice, though. If you had a choice, there would be none of this. If we chose our fates, then there would be no need for God. There would be no need for any of this.
No, there is no need for any of this.
Death comes for all
The grave is eternal.
All that is human is transitory.
In all the world,
Only Death is real.
Therefore I bow before thee,
Upon my humble knees,
And beg thee,
Oh Most Feared One,
To grant me one more day!
Maybe they don't need help; maybe they can make it on their own. We cannot help them in any case. No one can. No one wants to.
We are but gods.
They are but children.
There is no hope... Yet they live. Together... Happily ever after, until the end of their days...
