NEUTRON STAR COLLISION
* * *
I was searching you were on a mission
Then our hearts combined like a neutron star collision
I have nothing left to lose
You took your time to choose
Then we told each other with no trace of fear that
Our love would be forever
And if we die, we die together
Well I, I said never
Cause our love would be forever
The world is broken, halos fail to glisten
We try to make a difference but no one wants to listen
Hail the preachers, fake and proud
Their doctrines will be cloud
Then they'll dissipate like snowflakes in an ocean
Love is forever and we'll die
We'll die together
Well I, I said never
Cause our love, could be forever
Now I've got nothing left to lose
You take your time to choose
I can tell you now without a trace of fear
That my love will be forever
And well die, we'll die together
Will I, I will never
Cause our love will be forever
I think this is actually my favorite Utena AMV, or at least one of my top picks. This is Utena--go big or go home.

@fraueva9 Totally! Everything about Utena is epic-scale. :D

This is fantastic! I love how the over-the-top and camp qualities to song really highlight the entire irony of the dueling game and the characters' desperate yet futile attempts to gain possession of 'eternity'. It goes together amazingly well.

@pearlmixe Thanks! It was fun re-seeing how camp Utena can be by setting it to this song. :)
