Mother's Lullaby

The video footage is property of Square Enix (c) as well as Sony(c) and I have made this purely for fun and under fair use rights.

Song:
Mordred's Lullaby,
written and performed by Heather Dale, from her CD "Avalon" -- mp3 and CDs available at on iTunes or www.HeatherDale.com!!!

I uploaded this video back in 2006 (made it in 2005) and it was taken down. Hopefully it won't be taken down again, because I love it and I know many others did as well. I had a whole, long description that I made for this originally (you can probably find it on a version of this idea that someone else made because they took the description) but I might put it back up later.

Update:
Below is the description that I came up with...if you've seen another video with this description, that is not where this description originated because I wrote it up originally. This is a very old writing, so some things might be a little off in accordance with the games. :p Hope it entertains you anyway. :)

Hush, Child,
The darkness will rise from the deep
and carry you down into sleep
Child, the darkness will rise from the deep
and carry you down into sleep

Guile Son,
I'll shape your belief
(Jenova is what Kadaj believes in. It is all he's living for.)
And you'll always know that your father's a thief
(Professor Gast *or Hojo, for the life of me, I can't remember which one started the project* "stole" Jenova's power and life force to create Sephiroth. Because of how they were created, Sephiroth is almost Jenova's child in a way. (though Lucrecia was the one who gave birth to him.) He was born with Jenova's cells already in him removed. So, their father "stole" Jenova's cells. Anyway... moving on)
And you won't understand the cause of your grief
(Kadaj doesn't know everything about his "mother" and what she wants to do. All he knows is that she's his Mother and he wants her to be happy. And is hurt if something were to happen to her.)
But you'll always follow the voices beneath
(again, if you've seen the movie, this part fits pretty well. Cloud asks him about what's going to happen, and Kadaj replies that he doesn't know, but Mother will tell him.)

Loyalty Loyalty Loyalty Loyalty
Loyalty Loyalty Loyalty Only to me

Guile Son
Your spirit will hate her
The flower who married my brother the traitor
( I know she didn't marry Cloud in the game, but they did have some feelings for each other.) *romantic or not*
And you will expose his puppet behavior
(This should make allot of sense if you have played the game. Not going to explain it. Just play the game. It's VERY good! ^_^)
For you are the proof of how he betrayed her
(And no, Cloud did not betray Aerith, but this is here is supposed to mean, because of Sephiroth/Jenova, Cloud feels guilty for her death. That is very clear in the movie, because he blames himself for her death.)

Loyalty Loyalty Loyalty Loyalty
Loyalty Loyalty Loyalty Only to me

Hush, Child
The darkness will rise from the deep
and carry you down into sleep
Child, the darkness will rise from the deep
and carry you down into sleep

Loyalty Loyalty Loyalty Loyalty
Loyalty Loyalty Loyalty Only to me

Guile Son,
Each day you grow older
(This doesn't fit as much, but this is supposed to represent how Kadaj "Absorbs" or "Becomes" Sephiroth (because he doesn't actually "absorb him", since Kadaj was a part of Sephiroth))
Each moment I'm watching my vengence unfold
(Jenova's vengence.)
For the child of my body,
(Sephiroth)
the flesh of my soul
(Kadaj)
Will die in returning the birthright he stole
(Kadaj dies...trying to help reclaim the "birhtright" Sephiroth had said he deserved, what was truly his. The birthright of the Cetra.)

Loyalty Loyalty Loyalty Loyalty
Loyalty Loyalty Loyalty Only to me

Hush, Child
The darkness will rise from the deep
and carry you down into sleep
Child, the darkness will rise from the deep
and carry you down into sleep

Thank you for reuploading this, I saw it on Youtube first, so it's a dear memory for me, so it isn' t the same watching on my comp as it is watching it here. This is one of my favorite videos and it's truly an inspiration.
