Rin lies dead on a slab in Mother's Palace

Her death is an immutable and undeniable fact

Would you know my name

If I saw you in heaven

Will it be the same

If I saw you in heaven

I must be strong, and carry on

Cause I know I don't belong

Here in heaven

I went to hell and back I killed the hell hound and the master of hell to obtain the return of Rin's body and Rin is still dead.

Would you hold my hand

If I saw you in heaven

Would you help me stand

If I saw you in heaven

I'll find my way, through night and day

Cause I know I just can't stay

Here in heaven

I used Tenseiga to release the souls from all those whose bodies were piled in up in Hell like cordwood.; Tenseiga failed to revive Rin and Rin is still dead.

Time can bring you down

Time can bend your knee

Time can break your heart

Have you begging please

Begging please

Mother prattles on about lessons Father was trying to teach about fear and compassion;; Doesn't she understand that all these lessons are meaningless to me ,so long as Rin is still dead

Beyond the door

There's peace I'm sure.

And I know there'll be no more...

Tears in heaven

Mother can't even tell if I am sad or not; Jaken has to cry for me.Can't she see that I am sad because Rin is still dead.

Would you know my name

If I saw you in heaven

Will it be the same

If I saw you in heaven

I must be strong, and carry on

Cause I know I don't belong

Here in heaven

Now I understand why Father gave up his life save Inuyasha and Izayoi; I would gladly give my life just to have Rin alive again.But I failed and Rin is still dead
