Special Poetry
This section is for the songs one of my best friends wrote just for AlTer Ego.
Each one of these belongs to one of the five main characters.
I'm posting the lyrics here, but I hope to be able to post the actually music in my downloads section soon.
AlTer Ego Theme - "If I Fall..."
The wind is calling out my name
The sky is weeping for my pain
If I were to fall
Who would catch me?
Catch me if I fall
In sleep I'm caught in evil dreams
Glimpses of a foe unseen
If my illusions turn on me
Catch me
Catch me if I fall
Don't tear away these silver wings
Help me fly beyond these things
Show me where my strenght has gone
So that I can at last go on
The world is turning much too fast
I know my wish for peace won't last
When I have to fight or fall
Will you catch me if I fall?
Fire, water
Earth and sky
I promise I won't
Let you die
Sin and sorrow
Pain and loss
I wouldn't have you
Bear that cross
When I fall into my dreams
Don't let me hide from all those things
That I can't seem to fix in life
Please show me that there is some light
When all my thoughts are in despair
Please show me that there's someone there

Kali's Theme
Break The Sky
/kinou/
I woke to darker dreams
These graveyard stones
These haunted things
Pale marble angels
With empty eyes
The soulless guards
Of all the lies
I carved over my face
And on every stone, your name
If I have to, I will break the sky
I’ll tear my heart from nightmare lies
Today I bleed and maybe fall
But tomorrow, love, is worth it all
/kyou/
I woke to wake again
These twisted chains
These shadow games
The single step
I take to you
Is enough to shatter
All I knew
And reveal a glimpse of freedom, grace
My battle cry: your name
If I have to, I will break the sky
I’ll tear my heart from nightmare lies
Today I bleed and maybe fall
But tomorrow, love, is worth it all
If the jigsaw of my breaking mind
Should fail the tests of loss, of time
Understand my heart will always cry
Your name against the night
Courage, strength
Are trials by fire
From earth to sky
All I desire
Is here, between
Our hearts and hands
You rescued me
And now’s my chance
To prove I can save you, too
-Melissa Sandvick
Tobias's Theme
Wait for me
In a silent dream
I'll be standing on the stairs
You'll find me there
Just waiting
For your eyes to capture mine
A once upon a time
In an old-time fairy tale
I'll be your prince
If you'll still let me
And we'll dance right out of there
I'll be your prince
If you still want me
As imperfect as I am
-Melissa Sandvick
Eric's Theme
I understand
That life has been quite ruthless
And that your heart has been much abused
But I can't quite guess to why
You'd expect my love to die
Did you think my words were lies?
I know you've been used
Nevertheless
I thought you knew me
better than that
-Melissa Sandvick
Karasu's Theme
Send me off into the sunset
Let me be one with the light
Let the world give me the power
To take the chance I can't let die
For the sun is slowly sinking
And I will not stay the night
Send me off into the sunset
Let a bird be free to fly
-Melissa Sandvick
Medea's Theme
I know what it is to be lonely
I know what it is to be sad
I know what it's like to have all of your life
Mean nothing
Nothing
Is worse than that
-Melissa Sandvick
Poetry
Beyond Reach
Searching till the ends of time
Tell me now, where can love be found?
In the city where the lights shine bright
Only your brilliance can surmount them
Standing in the middle of the river of souls
Come to me now, delivered by love
I've faught my way this far
I won't hold back any more
Tracing your form in the stars
"I need you now", my heart is burning
Crying out in the flames
I will steal you from the heavens if I must
Yet still,everything I desire is so far beyond my reach...
Fear
Why do you fear human contact?
Are you afraid?
...to be loved?
...to be hurt?
...to be reached?
...to rely on another?
Because it confirms your own existance
The validation of a being you can't understand
You refuse it, push it away
Rejection
Separation
...from yourself
...from the world
...from everyone
...from everything
Now you are nothing.
No one can stand alone.
In truth you fear yourself.
For Future
Embraced by the wind
I'm chasing my destiny
The wings on my back
Create a path to the future
Rise up now
Following the road fate has chosen
Be strong now
A dream is a promise unbroken
Embraced by the wind
I'm facing my fears
This battle will continue on
Until the day I die
Look past this
These obstructions I must pass
Keep going
The future is a spell that I've cast
Lets watch it's magic unfold...
Mask
What is it you're hidding
beneath that smiling face?
Confronted by the shadows
you run a faster pace
And who is it you run from?
Where do you go and why?
I'm standing right behind you
Turn and look me in the eye
Is the truth so much more painful
than these forsaken lies?
That you find the need to hide it
behind that clever guise?
That cold expression's cracking
A cry comes from within
You can no longer hide it
beneath your pale skin
The truth has finnaly caught you
you hide your face in shame
You've spent your whole life running
from the monster you couldn't tame
Still I stand before you
My own truth yet to tell
Everyone wears a mask my friend
But you wear yours so well
To My Goddess
Goddess of my heart
Hear this cry from within
Lonely and longing
Give me your reply
Goddess in my eyes
Mirror of my soul
Look apon me
Give me your reply
Goddess on my mind
Fullfilling my dreams
Enlighten me
Give me your reply
Goddess steals my time
Consumming the moments
I remain patient, still
Give me your reply
Goddess that's my pain
Heal all my grief
With your angelic voice
Give me your reply
Goddess that's my joy
Let me smile with contempt
With you in my arms
Give me your reply
Goddess you're my love
My life, my destruction
Let this plee reach you
Give me your reply
