Broken Time..Chrono’s Burden

(soft, echoing… like time unraveling)

Ticking echoes… fading light…

A silent world… before the fight…

Shadows whisper through the flame…

Calling out my broken name…

I never asked for destiny…

A blade, a friend, eternity…

Through shattered time, I hear their cries…

But doubt still lingers in my mind…

Every path… a fragile thread…

One wrong step… and hope is dead…

But still they stand here by my side…

Even when I try to hide…

What if I’m wrong… what if I fall…

What if I can’t save them all…

These silent fears I can’t outrun…

A war inside has just begun…

I’ll break through time!! I’ll face the pain!!

Even if I lose my way again!!

With every choice… the world could fall apart…

But I’ll keep fighting with a shattered heart!!

Through endless night!! Through endless doubt!!

I’ll find the truth and scream it out!!

If fate won’t guide the path I see…

Then I’ll carve it myself… through eternity!!

Frog’s resolve… and Lucca’s fire…

Marle’s hope lifts me higher…

Robo dreams in silent grace…

Magus walks a darker place…

So many lives… I hold within…

A fragile line ‘tween loss and win…

Can one boy rewrite what’s gone…

Or am I just where I belong…?

(soft, haunting)

If I fall… will time forget me…?

Will their voices fade to gray…?

If I choose… and lose everything…

Was there ever a “right” way…?

(brief silence… heartbeat SFX…)

I’ll break through time!! I won’t regret!!

Every choice that I haven’t made yet!!

Even if the future slips away…

I’ll stand and fight through every yesterday!!

No guiding light!! No perfect plan!!

Just broken dreams inside my hands!!

But if it means they’ll live to see the dawn…

I’ll give my life… and carry on!!

The clock still turns… I walk alone…

But now I know… this path is my own…

Through every loss… and every scar…

We are the light… no matter how far…
