[Title: LUNAR CRY] [Intro - Lonely Sampled Piano, Cold Space Ambience] [Rinoa - Female Whisper Only - Distant Soprano] Squall... can you hear me? [Squall - Male Whisper Only - Fragile Baritone] Rinoa... I'm coming. [Instrumental - Synthetic Strings, No Choir] [Verse 1 - Atmospheric Guitars] [Squall - Male Vocals Only - Fragile Baritone] At Tears' Point, the heavens bleed The moon unleashes misery Beyond the glass, beyond the stars You're drifting where the darkness starts [Squall - Male Vocals Only - Fragile Baritone] I watched the universe turn red And heard the words I couldn't say A thousand miles of empty night Won't keep me from your fading light [Pre-Chorus - Rising Sampled Strings] [Squall - Male Vocals Only - Urgent Baritone] I won't surrender you to space I won't forget your voice or face No matter where the darkness goes I'll find you where the starlight glows [Chorus - Crushing Guitars, Half-Time Drums] [Squall - Male Vocals Only - Emotional Clean Baritone] I'll cross the silence of the stars No empty sky can keep us apart If all the heavens fall tonight I'll find you in the dying light [Squall - Male Vocals Only - Emotional Clean Baritone] And if my final breath is gone I'll keep reaching, holding on The universe can take the sky But I won't leave you here to die [Instrumental - Drums Fade, Cold Digital Reverb] [No Vocals] [Dark Aria - Female Solo, Lonely Gothic Organ] [Rinoa - Female Vocals Only - Haunting Soprano] The oxygen is almost gone I've drifted helpless for so long The stars are fading one by one I thought my life was finally done [Rinoa - Female Vocals Only - Fragile Soprano] But through the silence, faint and clear A voice I know is drawing near I hear you calling out my name And suddenly I'm not afraid [Instrumental - Rising Strings, Heartbeat-Like Drums] [No Vocals] [Bridge - Space Rescue] [Squall - Male Vocals Only - Desperate Baritone] Rinoa, hold on... I'm almost there One final reach through empty air I see your hand against the night And pull you back into the light [Squall - Male Vocals Only - Rising Clean Voice] No gravity to guide us home No certainty we'll live to know But now I've found you, I won't part I'm holding on with all my heart [Instrumental - Heavy Guitar Swell, Distant Bell] [No Vocals] [Rescue Response] [Rinoa - Female Vocals Only - Soft Soprano] I heard your voice beyond the night You pulled me from the fading light I thought I'd never see you more But now you're here, and hope is born [Instrumental - Mechanical Echo, Drums Subside] [No Vocals] [Verse 2 - Ragnarok Appears] [Squall - Male Vocals Only - Exhausted Baritone] A crimson vessel turns ahead Against the moon's enormous red One final chance to stay alive One final doorway through the night [Squall - Male Vocals Only - Tender Baritone] The hatch seals shut, the air returns Beyond the glass, the heavens burn And standing here, so close to you I know what I must finally do [Instrumental - Piano, Short Pause] [No Vocals] [Ragnarok - Intimate Female Solo] [Rinoa - Female Vocals Only - Tender Soprano] Give me a hug... Just hold me near I need to know we're really here The universe was cold and wide But now I'm safe here by your side [Rinoa - Female Vocals Only - Soft Emotional Soprano] I'm scared of what I've come to be Of what the world might think of me But if tomorrow pulls us apart I need you to remember my heart [Instrumental - Lonely Piano, No Vocals] [Ragnarok - Male Confession] [Squall - Male Vocals Only - Intimate Baritone] I never knew what love could mean Until I thought you'd disappeared And all the walls I built inside Came falling down across the sky [Squall - Male Vocals Only - Tender, Certain Baritone] I love you more than words can show I should have told you long ago No matter what tomorrow brings You're worth the loss of everything [Instrumental - Soft Synthetic Strings, No Vocals] [Ragnarok - Female Confession] [Rinoa - Female Vocals Only - Emotional Soprano] I love you, Squall, through fear and time Beyond the stars, beyond the night And even if the future fades I'll hold this moment that we made [Instrumental - Rising Gothic Organ, Half-Time Drums] [No Vocals] [Final Chorus - Full Emotional Metalcore Climax] [Squall - Male Vocals Only - Powerful Clean Baritone] I crossed the silence of the stars And held you close against my heart Though all the heavens fell tonight I found you in the dying light [Squall - Male Vocals Only - Tender Baritone] The universe could take the sky But not the reason we're alive And when the darkness swallowed you I found my way back home to you [Instrumental - Guitars Fade, Piano Remains] [No Vocals] [Outro - Female Solo, Soft Piano] [Rinoa - Female Vocals Only - Whisper-Soft Soprano] The moon can cry, the stars can fall But love can carry through it all And if tomorrow disappears I only want you standing here [Instrumental - Lonely Felt Piano, Cold Vintage Digital Reverb] [No Vocals - No Choir - Unresolved Fading Piano]
