- LOVELESS Prologue -

When the war of the beasts brings about the world’s end
The goddess descends from the sky
Wings of light and dark spread afar
She guides us to bliss, her gift everlasting

- LOVELESS Act I -

Infinite in mystery is the gift of the goddess
We seek it thus, and take it to the sky
Ripples form on the water’s surface
The wandering soul knows no rest

- LOVELESS Act II -

There is no hate, only joy
For you are beloved by the goddess
Hero of the dawn, Healer of worlds

Dreams of the morrow hath the shattered soul
Pride is lost
Wings stripped away, the end is nigh

- LOVELESS Act III -

My friend, do you fly away now?
To a world that abhors you and I?
All that awaits you is a somber morrow
No matter where the winds may blow

My friend, your desire
Is the bringer of life, the gift of the goddess

Even if the morrow is barren of promises
Nothing shall forestall my return

- LOVELESS Act IV -

My friend, the fates are cruel
There are no dreams, no honor remains
The arrow has left the bow of the goddess

My soul, corrupted by vengeance
Hath endured torment, to find the end of the journey
In my own salvation
And your eternal slumber

Legend shall speak
Of sacrifice at world’s end
The wind sails over the water’s surface
Quietly, but surely

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

- LOVELESS Act V -

Even if the morrow is barren of promises
Nothing shall forestall my return
To become the dew that quenches the land
To spare the sands, the seas, the skies
I offer thee this silent sacrifice

This is the poem that Genesis Rhapsodos, a mysterious SOLDIER 1st Class, reads in CRISIS CORE -FINAL FANTASY VII-. It took me awhile to find all the pieces of the poem that he keeps quoting lines from it. My favorite act in LOVELESS is Act I... That's the prettiest, yet mysterious, act that I cannot help, but repeat over and over myself!

I'm not very sure about Act V... They say that it was missing in the game and that people had to figure out what it meant...

To Gacket fans who didn't know this!!

Gackt-san does the voice-over and motion capture for Genesis in both CRISIS CORE and in DIRGE OF CERBERUS...

Enjoy and please comment!!
