//------------------------------// // I saw you die // Story: Trinity // by alarajrogers //------------------------------// I saw you die In your hands a light like my sister's sun and I Saw your face, alight with joy at the lie Drawn by a power that disorders all Too in love with pure chaos to heed my call Then it came to life, the poison bright Changing all that it touched to brilliant light Swallowing you, and all, in my sight I took my sister and fled to the night On the other side of the world, in fright Left you behind, in grief, for I Had just seen you die I saw it before it happened, in dreams Visions that proved to be enemy schemes But up to that moment I'd had no way To know the light that I saw would blossom that way Light is a sunrise Light is a child's eyes My visions never told me: In that light, everything dies Even I could not realize What appeared as a dream of a light blooming brief Was instead a cruel plan to bring us all to grief Not till the moment I saw it bloom Did I know that the light was to be all our doom It was there in your hands You had no time to flee All I could save was my sister and me For weeks, for months, I did nothing but cry I left my brother behind I let you die My sister believes that this twisted thing who Has plunged our world into madness is you Wears your face and your voice, so she's fooled by its lie But not I A god it is, so it is said To explain how it can be you, back from the dead But if it was you it would still have a heart No I can still see the light that ripped you apart And she can't bring herself to destroy it, but I Know that if it were you you would never betray us To lay you to rest, we must paralyze chaos And when it is stone, I will not cry For I know it's not you I saw you die
