Author's Note: This is what happens when you stay up till 11 playing video games and then go to school the next day. Told from Auron's POV, right before he goes and gets himself killed by Yunalesca.

The Guardian Lives Again
I weep for the world
But I do not cry
I am filled with grief and pain
Pain enough to die
Whose hands are these
That failed to save
The ones I so dearly loved?
Their life they gave
Yevon help this world
And destroy this lie
Our god abandoned us and
Left us to die
Death, a sweet release
Banisher of pain
End my tortured, hopeless life
Send me to Farplane
I can't face this tragedy
It's too much, too soon, too real
Life's sudden end, the Lady laughs
Come the night, the darkness feel
Now is the time to choose
Die and be free of pain,
Or live to face my sorrow
Fight for the world, with
My soul, my mind, with
Everything I have to give
My life begins to fade
And my soul ebbs away
I think through my death-fogged mind
'Was all of it in vain?'
A cry rips through me
Fierce, burning fire flares
My story will not end here
Not without a fight
The soul, the will, are
Eternal; recurring
Death has stopped my body
But it cannot stop my mind
I live on, to fight once more
To wield my sword again!
To fight for the weak
To battle the strong
Avenge my death
Right my wrongs
Bring justice to the world again!
Guide the young on paths untold
Face their destiny, afraid but bold
The guardian lives again!
Sir Jecht, Lord Braska, my friends of old
And enemies, fiends, know this:
The guardian lives again.
