Fate

(Aeris)

Shining hope

Your will gave the world courage

So it could cope

With nearing disaster.

Your prayer gave back the light,

Lit the fire in every heart

Made us realize that we must fight!

Beautiful angel

Your road was long and hard.

Courageous maiden,

You alone held the torch

Without selfishness..

A soul so pure

It burned as clear

As the saints of old.

But fate is cruel

It stole you away

Before you could taste the fruits of your labour.

Yet even when faced with death you smiled

And faced it like a martyr

So even as Death stole your breath

It cannot win.

We fight for you

Our Joan of Ark,

You hold the flag of victory high

If only in our hearts.
