Final Fantasy - All Series Fan Fiction ❯ Running out of Time ❯ Requiem ( Chapter 13 )

[ T - Teen: Not suitable for readers under 13 ]

The theme of Running out of Time in its entirety. It was created with Vincent in mind, but is not meant to be his themesong or anything. Read the note at the bottom in regards to the Strifentine. Yes, I am still working on it. It's 1,713 words so far and still not done… but I have a question for the readers!!!!!

Everybody knows so well
 
What's written on the Doomsday Bell.
 
Our fates are sealed by our own hand;
 
So let the dirge ring through this stifled land.
 
---
 
No sacred hand to carve into your stone;
 
Those words may be graven by your hand alone.
 
A ghosted whisper of burning hope;
 
A path concealed by the lines you wrote.
 
---
 
You search for what cannot be found
 
As your footsteps echo on hallowed ground.
 
A prayer uttered to stagnant air,
 
The truth, the lies, your life laid bare.
 
---
 
Behind closed eyes we can truly see
 
The fraying rope of our destiny;
 
The path will find you in this cheerless land,
 
The stillborn questions entombed in sand.
 
---
 
Trapped in this city of steel and lies,
 
You have no worth but what death buys.
 
Strive to secure your own damnation;
 
Your blood and tears are the only salvation.
 
---
 
Tears of joy and tears of pain,
 
A sea of tears with nothing gained.
 
But when all is lost to death and shame,
 
The tears alone are what remain.
 
---
 
Requiem loosed on static air;
 
Doom's bell rings the warning knell.
 
Come, Destruction, thy name is Ruin,
 
To wake me from this endless Hell.
 
---
 
Battered faith to crack the stone
 
Of iron oaths that stood alone;
 
Before the onslaught of blighted Day;
 
The Devil bows his head to pray.
 
---
 
Forsake the path you tread once more;
 
A key to find the hidden door
 
Of dark delusion's sweet embrace-
 
The truth that you cannot yet face.
 
---
 
The Sword of Judgement hangs above;
 
The fragile wings of tarnished Love;
 
The tainted blood that courses down
 
Holds promise of Judgement's fury unbound.
 
---
 
You walk their path but stand alone
 
For sins which you cannot atone;
 
Chained and bound by ancient guilt
 
Make foundations quiver by the faith you built.
 
---
 
What is life with purpose spent?
 
What truth behind the laws you bent?
 
An answer comes on silenced breath;
 
The only promise made us is death.
 
---
 
The beat of ragged Angels' wings;
 
The only reason the soul yet sings
 
A silence echoes where laughter once pealed
 
We, the authors of the dooms we sealed.
 
---
 
Requiem loosed on static air;
 
Doom's bell rings the warning knell.
 
Come, Destruction, thy name is Ruin,
 
To wake me from this endless Hell.
 
----------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------------
 
That is the song in its entirety that I created with Vincent in mind. This is the end of Running Out of Time.

I did want to know- do you all want me to post the Strifentine as another chapter in this fic (which means upping the rating and changing the summary and putting this as yaoi), or should I post it as a separate entry and make a note at the top saying to read Running out of Time FIRST?
