A/N: this started out as the chorus to a song I was working on for Naruto - basically about him realzing his mortality and the possibility of killing others as a ninja, because I just watched the Neji-Hinata fight and the episode about Haku's death. Anyway, I realized that the emotions actually worked much better for Ed, so here it is - the first installment of FMA: the Musical. It is more or less Ed singing about his feelings about his brother, his guilt over what happened, and his need to fix it. Hope it doesn't suck too much!
Disclaimer: I don't Ed, Al, or FMA. Although if you still want to send me some money, I won't say no.
Sin and Redemption
Oh the burden I bear
It cannot be shared
It's my sorrow and grief
My guilt and my tears
It's my sin
My sin
And for my sin there can be no redemption
The only thing I can do
Is make it up to you
But I don't think that means that I'm forgiven
Maybe it means we can forget
Finally move on, try to live again
Try again
Try again
But I'm still a sinner
And I'm still a fool
But you are forgiven
Because you didn't know
But I'm still a sinner
All these memories I hold
I know I should let go of the past
But sometimes I think
It's the only thing I have
And sometimes I think that all my life
Is trying to make up for what I've done
I'm always saying sorry
And you always just ignore me
I'm sorry
I'm sorry
And I almost wish that you'd be angry
I wish brotherly love didn't go so far
It'd be easier if you just said
I'll hate you forever and ever
But you're always so kind and so sure
That I have all the answers
But what if I'm not as strong
As you want me to be
I can't fail you
I can't fail our memories
I can't fail
This burden I bear
It cannot be shared
I'll go on and I'll win
But I'll remember my guilt and my grief
And my sin
My sin
My sin
