Edward Elric -- Broken

Beaten

Broken

Coughing blood

Can't you see you're finished?

Give up, silly child

It's over now

You have been demolished

But you grit your teeth

And rise again

On shaking legs

Manage to stand

And with fierce grin

You shout your cause

You will not fail

You will not die

You will not stop

For the lives of many

Are in your mismatched hands

One made of flesh

The other of steel

It is as iron as your will

You will not fall

You will not loose

You will not crack

How much punishment

Can one man take?
And how much

Can a child?

You have many fates resting

On your shoulders.

Your own, Edward Elric

Your dear brother too

They all have such great faith in you

You will not quit

You will not cry

You Will. Not. Break.
