[Yami's thoughts]
Dust in the Wind
I close my eyes only for a moment, and the moment's gone.
Yami sat in the park, finally alone for once, contemplating. He laid against a tree, eyes closed, cherishing his time to himself.
All my dreams pass before my eyes in curiosity.
Visions of Egypt filled his mind. His throne, his chambers, his games…
Dust in the wind. All they are is dust in the wind.
Opening his eyes, he realized that he would probably never see his true home ever again. No matter how long he wished, it would never come back to him.
Same old song, just a drop of water in an endless sea.
He stood up and walked along the creek running through the park. As he walked, he thought about the other souls of the Millennium items. Did they ever long for home? Did they ever wish to see their country again?
All we do crumbles to the ground though we refuse to see.
He'd seen pictures in Yugi's textbooks of Egypt today. His heart ached to see the Great Pyramids reduced to rubble.
[Even my own palace, my own home has fallen to time.]
Dust in the wind. All we are is dust in the wind.
Yami sighed deeply and tried to think of other things. Instantly he thought of Duel Monsters. He wondered if that would fade too, leaving him with nothing familiar to his heart.
Don't hang on. Nothing lasts forever but the earth and sky.
He couldn't understand how his Empire had ever come to ruin.
[Five thousand years can change so much.]
It slips away, and all your money won't admit another minute by.
[So this is how the gods reward me. They take away my home, send me to a new world, leave me stranded here, longing for the one place I will ever call home.]
He threw a rock into the creek.
[What do you want? A tribute? A sacrifice? What will it take to send me home?]
Dust in the wind, everything is dust in the wind.
Yami shook out of his homesickness and slowly walked back to the house.
"Where were you?" Yugi asked, concerned for his companion.
"Contemplating."
"Of course. You enjoy thinking, don't you?" Yugi noticed Yami was sitting on the couch, flipping channels on the T.V. He smiled and joined him in watching a history of Ancient Egypt.
