Now in my younger days I used to sport a flat Top, now I rock it nappy with the hat to back But alas, I remember one time a while ago When I met a girl, I was sad to see her go She was cute. she made me laugh She was special, no doubt about that I'm so glad that we cross paths Let me tell you how we met... let's take em back Last thing I remember is plottin our escape I was runnin with a gang, wreakin havoc state to state Called avalanche, we were some revolutionaries Usin every trick in the book, to bring the truth And nearly got killed on my last mission up in midgar I set off an explosion, ran but didn't get far So I'm guessin the reactor blew The blast knocked me unconscious and detached our crew I awakened in flower bed up in the slums On the floor of a church, all covered in grunge Thankful to be alive, in need of a shower and not a medic I get up sore and lightheaded It was there that I met her, caught her emerald eyes Long braided hair, pink ribbon excellently tied Not someone i'd normally be interested in But somethin 'bout her aura just told me she was mad different Soldier code is the law that we live by Day by day I wonder why my shorty had to die This is for Aerith, know that you were cherished The dead never perish So I, dusted myself off and said hello Apologized for the inconvenience and tried to go But she wasn't having that I just crashed in her habitat Caused mad damages She was kinda mad at this So immediately pleasantries were cancelled When she asked who would pay for the flowers that I trampled I laughed, and said that I would replace them Just did a job that I'm waitin to get paid from See I'm an ex soldier, fightin for freedom Providing my services to anyone who need 'em So she came with a plan, suggested I protect her Cause there's some bad folks out there tryin to get her And before I could ask why Troopers just passed by Kicked in the church door, wood and glass fly Should I help her? my conscience said you gotta dog So I went from a soldier to a bodyguard So in our travels in the chapters after that Everywhere we went, somebody was trying to capture that So I just asked her that. what was the deal Why is everybody wanting you killed Turns out She was the last descendant of the ancients Who may just - hold the key to something sacred Known as the promised land, so this caused a lot of problems man Everybody wanted it, so they devised a plan And if that wasn't enough, then here comes Sephiroth The meanest, baddest, biggest boss of 'em all She'd go to the church and pray for the solution But Sephiroth appears, from the air Without a care he Draws his sword, takes her life with a slice No last rites... I'll never forget that night I just, wish I was like her and said what I feel I don't know what it was but I knew that it was real From the moment I met you There was somethin so special Last of the cetra I'll never forget you Beautiful flower girl - never been the same since you came in our world What would life even be worth if there was no death What would sunshine be without any rain If there was no night, who would appreciate the day So I know that you're not feeling any pain We love you
