This isn't mine.
--------------
Lyric:
Her heart underneath
cries quietly
This part of me
I choose not to see
What lives must I take
for fealty's sake?
How much blood must stain
this warrior's blade?

War leaves its trail
in moonlight so pale
Its shadows, they flow
in rivers, in rivers
So put on my mask
I'll go where they ask
So I might once again see the
Roses of May
Staining my soul and stinging my eyes
The red on my hands
won't wash away, wash away
Nowhere to run from what I have done
I'm no longer, no longer
a Rose of May
Fate holds the blade before you
mirrored in maiden's eyes
Far from myself, I fly
into the perilous skies
And they said
follow the blade before you
Fear fall and courage rise
Leave all your tears behind you
far from where innocence lies
Cage of the kings
No need for wings
So turn them to stone
from roses to bone
When you look at me
what do you see?
This costume I weave
disfiguring me...
[Chorus A]
Storm clouds are creeping closer
Danger is drawing near
Why am I not protecting all that
I once held dear?
And you said
break free from all that holds you
King's hand and maiden's tear
run now into my arms
Together, we'll conquer our fears
Led here by fate
No longer afraid
So, here now I lay
my Roses of May

FF9 was my favourite. And Beatrix was my favourite character. Amazing song. Impacts me directly in the most tender spot I have for this game.

And this is only one of Kate's covers....I've been following her progress over the past 5-6 years, and she just gets better and better as time goes on, though I'll admit this is one of her true masterpieces.

[@Majern77]

So incredibly touching... wonderful display of emotion in her voice and she hit all the notes perfectly... Great lyrics too... been listening to this non-stop lately...

[@dWalrus]

can't believe its made into a song !! love it ^^

[@ojisankusai]

I can't believe this got recommended to me in the year of our lord 2024. I've been a huge fan of Kate's stuff since the early days; this and her Xenogears' remix of Bonds of Sea and Fire are seriously some of the best in terms of a artist's "starter set". I burned 'em to CDs back when cars still had to have the players installed and, since _that_ was robbed, I haven't heard any of that stuff since then. So, seeing this pop up on my reccs was a huge nostalgia hit for me. Glad other people appreciate this stuff, and now I've gotta give Kate her dues and listen to the originals on her youtube channel Erutan.
