I: Xemnas image song.

"Lamentation Infinite - Embraces of the Void"


I’ll take something precious from you
Like a thief that comes by the nightfall
Something of equal value
Also snuffed from this chest
What in it is emotion? None.
Only this power is superiour

Anger and Hatred
Quarrels and Lies
Beating here in this open cavity
Giving and Receiving
Neither Living or Dying
With this empty breath, commemorate

The fact that you and I are one and the same

I’ll take something precious from you
Like a thief that comes by the nightfall
Something of equal value
Also snuffed from this chest
What in it is emotion?
None

What remains is the blinding power

Now we will stab our own wings

Anger and Hatred
Bitterness, No remorse
What in it is emotion? None.
Only this power is so pure

I’ll take something precious from you
Like a thief that comes by nightfall
Something of equal value
Also snuffed from this chest
What in it is emotion? None.
Only this power is supreme

Neither living or dying
With this empty breath, commemorate
The fact that you and I are one and the same

Infinite

VI: Zexion image song

“In Obscuro”

There is fever, a sickness within truth so we cover it with dirt and lies
If the pain is no longer visible the fleshly heart will not get pricked
As long as you have illusions billowing from you, straightforwardly
There is nothing left to question. Our countenance has been marred
Only by matters of patterns we deem as emotions.

I
Am
No
Longer
Dead

See the indistinct shadow?
That is the heart’s only solution to emptiness
Fill your head with fancies I’ll fill mine with facts
You’ll look over your shoulder
But I’m not turning back

Try to count on one hand the number of times idle words slip from our mouths.
Try to count on two and you’ll fill up too quickly, the toes aren’t even enough
As long as you are oblivious to your own self you will never have to look at the past with shame
Lucidly
Try not to make light of such imperative concerns

This
Will
Get
You
Nowhere

Take the specters called lies
Take the specters called lies
Take the specters called lies
This is your face
Written with those words
Illusion master just cover it up

How can you know me

When
I
No
Longer
Know
Myself

See the indistinct shadow?
That is the heart’s only solution to emptiness
Fill your head with fancies I’ll fill mine with facts
You’ll look over your shoulder
But I’m not turning back

XI: Marluxia image song

“Gentian”


Can’t I say I love her?
When we were both on our backs in the time of rain
Feet soaked by the hushing drops
Drip

Can’t we save the future?
I don’t want to go on believing in lies
I want to gather those distant aspirations
And run home with you

Not because I love
But because I have been loved

Open my glued-together palms
To spread them around this freezing place
In the wind, the petals will blow
Dancing to an unprecedented melody

Can’t I break one promise?
She will tempt me with the kiss of fools
Bodies pulsing in untamed corruption
Pulse

Can’t we forget this mistake?
I only want what is real for myself
I also want to take everything
Even if it doesn’t belong to me

Not because I want
But because I need to be wanted

Open my glued-together palms
To spread them around this timeless chasm
In the wild, a flower is dying
Weeping because it’s heartbeat went unheard

Open my glued-together palms
To spread them around this freezing place
In the past, I was also somebody
Even now I want to be somebody

In the wind, the petals will blow
Dancing to an unprecedented melody
