I’ve been gone a long time
Wasting the sunlight
As it glowed on me
I’ve been losing track
Of the path
That the moon herself delivered to me
I’ve been slack in seeing the way
Not everything can turn around
I forgot to love
At the speed of sound

Now I love the way you’re there for me
The way you’ll always remember me
The way you touch my dreams every night
You lead me out
And I win the fight
Now I know it’s not just you
It is you
To you
My home
I return to you

I will return
Please don’t wait around
Just listen for that sweet sound
Just play me that sweet come home music
That makes my heart and soul
Step in time
There’s nothing keeping me from coming
Home now
Just to see your face is all I need
To survive

You’re all I need
You’re all I need
You’re all I need to survive

On this pathway you’re the light
That shines in every daily plight
Remember that I’m only a traveler
When you call I crave to hear you
I can see you
Though the lights dim
I won’t forget where I’ve been
Or how I’ve been
All I need is this sweet return home music
Found inside of you

I just want to live that love song
Play it loud as I press through this throng
I’ve heard it all my life all along
It lights my way
Shows me right and wrong
And I see you
All of you
Inside
Waiting to welcome me home

Sweet, sweet come home music
Makes my soul
Feel strong and whole
Singing and dancing
Long past the woe
In this house
There is room for one more
I love you all
The finale of the Vacancy Saga

Master made a tax collector out of me,
Graced me with the scent of gold,
Fresh and stale and warm and cold.

The masses warned me for my fate to be
"The Forth Circle awaits, behold!"
In hushed whispers I was told.

But a poor, blind man now I cannot see
The price upon my head sold,
One more soul to collection old.

When I was trembling
You held me
When I was falling
You supported me
When I was crying
You wiped my tears
When I was scared
You shared my fears
When I was low
You held me high
When I was lying
Flat on ground
You raised me up
To the level of sky
You stood for me
When no one else did
You cuddled me
As if I were a kid
When nights were dark
And the days were tough
To strengthen me
Your support was enough
But I forgot you
When the days were brighter
My selfishness made
Our friendship lighter
I feel so sorry
For letting you go
I am such a hog
Still forgive me though

You are the one with the bigger heart
Now please come back and hug me again
I have had my share of misery
And no more I can handle this pain

I beg your forgiveness
I cry in repentance
Please return my friend
And end my sentence

Sinong makakapagsabi na kaya ko palang iaalay ang kantang ito sayo.

Nakalimot ako,
Masyado kong nilunod ang mga oras ko kakaisip sa mga pighating dala ng imahinasyon ko.

Nilamon tuloy di lang ng pagkatao ko kung hindi pati ang puso ko.
Nakalimutan kong ikaw pala ang nagpapatibok nito.

Sabi nga sa kanta, "this heart it beats, beats for only you".
Pero nasaan ako?

Ito, nilulunod ko ang sarili sa mga luhang hindi mapawi pawi.
Nakalimutan ko na bago sya o sila dumating, ikaw ang unang lumapit.
Nakalimutan ko na bago ako sa kanila umasa, hiningi ko muna sayo ang mga bagay na aking natatamasa.
Nakalimutan ko na bago ako sa kanya o sakanila kumapit, kamay mo muna ang unang kumalinga.
Nakalimot ako, na bago ako manlimos ng atensyon nya, o nila
Binigay mo ito ng buong buo.

Oo alam ko, naging matigas ako.

Ilang beses mo na akong niyakap pero pilit akong pumipiglas.
Oo alam ko, na sa tuwing nag iisa ako at lahat ng tao ay tinalikuran ako.
Ikaw ang kahit hindi ko nakikita pero alam ko, andyan ka lang sa tabi ko.

Inaalay ko ang kantang ito, dahil oo tama ang mga liriko nito.
Hindi ko kaya ng wala ka.

Ikaw na nagsilbing hanging payapa sa puso kong binabagyo ng galit,
pangamba
at kung ano ano pa.

Ikaw na nagsisilbing huling hininga ko,
huling pag asa ko.

Pakiusap, wag kang mapapagod na yakapin ako.

Isayaw, ang puso ko hanggang muling matutong magmahal.
Isayaw, ang puso ko, tulad ng puso mo na walang ibang alam kung hindi ang magpatawad.

Isayaw, ang pagkatao ko,
At ibalik ako sa dating ako.

Patawad nakalimot ako.

The affection that you showed
Was a bait to trap me
Behind your angelic face
Were fangs I couldn’t see
You broke my heart ant ripped my soul
Until there was nothing left in me
******* in bondages
I tried but couldn’t flee
The temptation to be loved made me fall for a devil
The devil that were you
And by the time I emerged from your hell
I was all black and blue
You stood there smiling
Watching me while I bled
Now I’ll make you pay
For every single tear I shed
Go run away from me
But I gonna chase you down
You’ll lie there repenting for your sins
While I’ll straighten my crown

It is a wonder, to feel
Chemical peeling, remove the first three layers of dead, useless skin
And the new life was sleeping beneath it, isn't that always the way?
Raw, untouched, unloved by nature's oils,
Unfelt by the rough but gentle fingers of maternal hands
Steady my trembling, I cannot see the page when it moves like that.
Do not remove me from my grieving,
I need these little deaths;
It is right that I should lay down in their little graves and feel the weight of the earth scatter over them.
It is right that I should feel the sting, deep in the part of my nature which knows that the betrayal is always greeted with a kiss
I am the man who stands in outrage, and cuts the ear from the soldiers head,
And then turns in shock to roosters weeping,
And removes to the city's edge

Spend away the world which ye most admire
Demands from thee, nothing but a sole desire
Impress Him, waking midnights in remembrance
For thee, shall thy soul be dipped in fragrance
Sa tuwing naaalala ka,
Lungkot at pagsisisi lang ang palaging nadarama.

Hindi naman na dapat iniisip pa,
Ang mga nakaraan na lumipas na.

Bakit ba hindi ka makalimutan?,
Kailangan paba magharapan tayong muli upang tuluyan nang makawala sa nakaraan?.

Parehas naman nating hindi ginusto to,
Na humantong tayo sa ganito.

Masaya naman tayo noon, noong tayong dalawa ay nagmamahalan pa,
Nagkamali lang talaga tayo nang hindi natin sinasadya.

Pero parehas lang tayong nagkamali,
Kaya ito tayo ngayon nagsisisi sa huli.

Pinaghiwalay tayo ng tadhana,
Siguro dahil hindi talaga tayo ang para sa isa't isa.

Hindi ko na rin kasi gusto ang trato mo sakin dati,
Kaya't ako na rin ang bumitaw sa huli.

Hindi ngalang pormal ang paghihiwalay nating dalawa,
Kaya't siguro nahihirapan parin akong huwag kang maalala.

Pero gumawa ako ng paraan para bawiin ka ulit kasi nagsisisi ako na iniwan kita,
Pero nalaman ko na may iba kana.

Lumipas ang mga araw, buwan, taon,
Nakalimutan ko nandin ang taong minahal ko noon.

Pero bakit hanggang ngayon kahit saang anggulo man tingnan,
Hindi ko parin mabura ang mga memorya ng nakaraan.

Ayoko na sanang maalala ang lahat noon,
Pero bakit gumagawa parin ng paraan ang utak ko para maalala lahat ang mga pagkakamali nating dalawa na nilipas na ng panahon?.

Gusto ko nang kalimutan ang kahit anong tungkol sayo,
Pero hindi ko alam kung saang paraan at paano.

Ni wala na akong nararamdaman sayo matagal na,
Pero bakit hanggang ngayon nahihirapan parin ang utak ko na kalimutan ka.

Sana dumating ang umaga na sa paggising ko kumpleto na ako,
Wala nang gumagambala sa utak at katauhan ko.

Na hindi na kita maiisip kahit kailan,
Na natutunan nadin kitang kalimutan.

Pero hanggang saan paba ang itatagal ng panahon?,
Hanggang kailan paba maaalala ang kahapon?.

Palipasin na ang nakaraan,
Dahil para sa akin wala na iyong kahulugan.
This is based on what I've been thinking and based in my story. I hope you like it. Lovelots readers!

Ashamed when put their mistakes up
Flour needs water to strengthen it's parts
Hardens the belief when it bakes up
Appreciated is pure struggle in the carts
Our souls are enfettered
By an Inexorable Penance,
Sorrows & Lamentations:

In pining for
The Light of Transmutation
The Adamantine Wings
Of Stalwart Bahamut
Unburdened our etherealized hearts.

(Speaking for the future)

Spira has lost its
Yoke of Communion
To this Cimmerian Millennium.

Redemption’s Revelation:

Aeonic sin hath reigned
Under the Cathedral of Deception
Forged by the taught tongues
Of Yevon;

Despotic Lunae
Eclipsed the light
Of a forlorn sky,
Divine Pantheon
For
Numen of Sol.

Cast a
Stygian Shadow of Sanctimonious Suffering for Souls.
Seems eternal; truly, ephemeral.

For,
the Hearts of nations
Are
Sacrosanct Luminaries.

Our tears
Have been shed,
Our vanities
Indemnified.

Skies shall bleed Empyrean Bliss
And
The Opus of Life
Shall cleanse
This wearied Spira of Pernicious Sin.
*

(Amen.)
Inspired by Final Fantasy X. I attempted to encapsulate the story, thematic undertones, fantasy elements, ambiance of the musical piece (of same title as piece), as well as the penitence, sorrow, hope, and mirth set out before our heroes/heroines. Was a bit rushed as I wanted to get this out to you guys as swiftly as possible. Thank you for all your support because you mean all the world to me. Any constructive feedback is most appreciated! Enjoy! :)
