Scar (dedicated to Aaram)

Love crippled by hate
A fading man stumbling
towards a grave
Eyes touching memory
Defeat on the edge of
your lips
broken and empty,
full of sheer
hatred.

L�envol du Ph�nix

Oiseau de feu qui s��lance vers le ciel
Toi le ph�nix immortel
Attise le feu qui br�le en toi
et d�fends courageusement Ath�na

Malgr� tes apparences rudes et solitaires
Tu es toujours l� pour secourir tes fr�res
et eux aussi pour le faire
descendraient jusqu�en enfer

Ni dieu, ni homme ne te font peur
lorsque ton petit fr�re Shun est en danger
Tu d�voiles alors ta puissance de grand fr�re protecteur
et t�envoles dans un tourbillon de feu �th�r�

ChibiMu (November 2000)

The Phoenix�s flight

Fire bird dashing to the sky
You immortal Phoenix
Stir up the fire burning in you
and defend courageously Athena

Though your rude and lonely appearances
You�re always there to help your brothers
and to do the same for you
they would go to Hell

Neither god nor man can frighten you
when your young brother Shun is in danger
You�re revealing your power of a protector, a big brother
and take your flight in an ethereal fire tornad

Translated by ChibiMu (November 2000)

   Destruction

   High resolution hate
   inner violence
   conscious loss of control
   revenge is a treasure
   that leads to fortune
   Time is poison
   Passion is death.

   Niara (December 2000)

Ikki - Fight beyond reality

Hands still grasping for hate
You stand no chance, Phoenix
Love�s interference will save you in the end
Stare into the crevace and decide which way to fall
destruction
or
indulgence
ruins no longer will suppress your mind
and its history
enthralled by the smell of heated disgust
Be restored,
Phoenix.
Be one of us.

Niara (December 2000)

Song in shades

New strings, new sounds
cautious scent
New shadows, new fears
the path has bent
Full grace, light silk
A voice,
Faint and grey
Covering my mind
Beautiful display
