The Light of Two Wings (From “Attack on Titan”)

Even though you always came across stern and cold I knew that it all started from a kind, gentle place And from behind your every line of nonchalant words There's a ray of warm and gentle light That shines so brightly in the darkness Many of my memories are of all the painful moments that we went through But despite it all, we made it this far, without a doubt of what you could do I know you can't quite predict what will happen to us all in the future But you had my back, whatever I lacked You were always right behind to give the push I need We must choose to take the path of least regret, you always said But when the moment comes to make the choice Who's gonna have your back in the end? Small feathers fluttering, joining one by one As they take the form of a white wing in the setting sun Fragile souls vanishing, dying one by one As they leave behind a blackened wing of a war not yet won Though a bird is destined to fly beyond the walls that reach the sky I don't quite understand I'm certain they can't with just a single wing to take them But you take them both upon your own back Those wings, both white and tattered black With the strength of those wings, you would do anything To lead us all beyond this forsaken place So I will die, believing I have made the right decision Oh, how I long for this to last, but it seems that my time has finished As I cease, I have one thing I've always yearned to say to you It's just, never mind, it's not important in the end Small feathers fluttering, joining one by one As they take the form of a white wing in the setting sun Fragile souls vanishing, dying one by one As they leave behind a blackened wing in a war not yet won In the end of my life, was I brave in your eyes? Did you still look at me, and see a girl willing to give everything? Please, don't ever forget, you have upon your back The shining light of two wings That will guide you, both pure white and blood-spattered black If I were to call it something, that pure light behind you The feeling it begets Yes, it's hope
