LYRICS:

"I was raised from a broken seed, I grew up to be an unwanted weed.
Ever faster the time exceeds me, little harder again to remember...you.

Held a torch for you, when lightning struck me, once again, hope I died for the last time.
Only one I have a thing greater than you, little light on the sky every night.

Morning dew on the field, where I met you.
I was frozen a year, couldn't get through.
Got a sign, not a scar, on my shoulder, I am not quite the man you take me for...

Fell in love with the weakness within me.
Tried to force me the Ring and own me.
Guess you found what you'd think would oblige me, little version of me to consume you...

I'd give my everything to you, follow you thru the garden of oblivion.
If only I could tell you everything, the little things you'll never dare to ask me...

Do you really know me? I might be a God.
Show me that you care and have a cry.
How do you see me?... as the one?
Can you see my blood when I'm bleeding.
How can you love this exile, and how could I desire you.
When my pain is my pain and yours is too...

On this dark winter's night. Darkness becomes this child.
Bless this night with a tear. For I have none I fear...

Seven lifes of a man, passed before me.
Seven graves, one for every love I've had.
Only once I have broken my so called heart.
Only one made me see why they cry.

Will I learn how to be one of you someday?
Will I still feel the eyes that behold me.
Will I hear what you think, when you see me?
Will it tear me apart if you feel for me...

I 'd give my everything to you, follow you thru the garden of oblivion.
If only I could tell you everything, the little things you'll never dare to ask me...

Do you really know me? I might be a God.
Show me that you care and have a cry.
How do you see me?... as the one?
Can you see my blood when I'm bleeding.
How can you love this exile, and how could I desire you.
When my pain is my pain and your is too...

On this dark winter's night. Darkness becomes this child.
Bless this night with a tear. For I have none I fear...

Little broken, always been, a part of you belongs to me.
You were never mine to love, but this all has made it easy for me...

Burning feathers, not an angel, Heaven's closed, Hell's sold out.
So I walk on the earth, behind the curtains, hidden from everyone,
until I find a new life to ruin again

On this deadwinter's night. Darkness becomes this child.
Bless this night with a tear. For I have none I fear...

On this deadwinter's night. Darkness becomes this child.
Bless this night with a tear. For I have none I fear..."

END

When I listened to this breathtaking song, "Broken", from Sonata Arctica, and paid attention to the lyrics, I pictured Basch writing it to Ashe, in some random day that he decided to pour all his heart out, let her know his story and especially how special she is to him. It is an insight into his life, his brother Gabranth and his love for the Princess. However, some sentences kinda belong more to Gabranth than Basch (that's why he appears on the video in some parts). I tried my best to match the lyrics with the scenes and Basch/Gabranth history. I worked and made a lot on effort on this and, more important, I loved to do it :)

Let me know what you think :) I would love to know... it helps me to feel motivated to improve my work :)

Happy New Year, everyone!

  • You've done a great job! This song is great and the video you found is awesome! What 's your next project, BTW?

  • Gosh what the H*LL happened to the edit option? Typo and grammar error central up there

  • Well at the during the ending scenes it leaecs it open to interpretation. After reading the letter where it is mentioned by Penelo that Ashe really misses Basche and wants him with her but would never admit it for appearances, Basch has this really complex expression (profound/thoughtful/pondering­/tranqui) on his face, he puts his judges helmt down on a table, and begins to walk away. Perhaps he returns to Ashe. :P That's what I would love to think anyway

  • I absolutely adore this! It made me realize how METAL Basch is. Hehehe. :P
