Melissa (from ”Fullmetal Alchemist”)

Tear apart the painful memories of those days
Cleaving into woe those hands impart
Breath of all sorrow, and the air we know, cut it away today
Come on, with all the pain you cut away, pierce love into my heart!

Looking up at all the passing time high in the sky
I feel lost, deep in a maze of feeling, what could my heart be doing?
All the birds that were right by my side then flew away
I wonder...If somewhere else, unlike me, they found light they could see

But why, why can’t I ride along?
Following the sight in hopes I find light
And right then, abandoning the kindness I knew
I’ll go to higher places, forget the old faces, all behind me

Tear apart the painful memories of those days
Cleaving into woe those hands impart
Breath of all sorrow, and the air we know, cut it away today
Come on, with all the pain you cut away, pierce love into my heart!

Those same birds fly away into the night sky
With the wind guiding them
Envious that all I can do is crawl
I won’t say that I want a pair of wings to bear
At the least, like the melissa leaves, I’d like to dance in the air

At all times I stand I fall
No matter how much I want to be strong
But maybe, that’s not the way life is in the end
To go against the wind, another day begins, and I tell you:

Open up your hand, and then you’ll understand
There’s the key you know will end sorrow
Even if you’re wrong, go along, coz it might not open again
Come on, the door of possibility will probably unlock!

In the end a soul, can’t be remade whole
So it fades away into today
But in that moment, right before it vanishes it faintly shines
And now, that little light becomes the moon that we see in the sky!
