Crimson Sins

A tribute to Vincent Valentine from Final Fantasy 7. My favourite character if it wasn't obvious.... Music / photo was created with AI. I created the lyrics. I own nothing (song, artwork, my house, my truck) Lyrics: No — not again, I buried you deep, Locked you away where the shadows sleep, This broken body’s mine to claim, You don’t get to wear my name. I hear the cracks beneath my skin, Every war I kept within— My sins, they echo throughout time There’s a monster locked inside, Every chain begins to break, Every hope I tried to fake. Not a blessing, not divine— Just the scars of borrowed time. Heartbeat racing, losing ground, Silent screams are getting loud, Memories burn, faces fade, I don’t recognize the man I made. Night spreads out like shattered glass, Everything I was won’t last— My sins, they echo throughout time Ancient hunger comes alive, Every wall begins to fall, I can’t hold it back at all. Not salvation, not design— Only rage refined by time. If the world needs something to blame— Let it choke on my pain! Lucrecia… can you hear me now? I tried to fight it, I don’t know how. If hope is gone and darkness stays, I’ll burn myself to light the way. If this is what I must become, If the end is where I’m from— I’ll stand alone, I’ll take the fall, So no one feels this curse at all. Black wings tear across the sky, Every version of me dies, Not revenge and not reborn— Just a soul forever torn. If destruction brings you peace, Let my suffering never cease! We are the silence before rebirth! We are the ending of the earth! From dying ash the fire burns— Watch the world as Chaos returns! …If this was my purpose… …let it finally be enough…
