                                              And suddenly, 
The world grew silent. 
I couldn't hear the monitor.
   I couldn't hear their wails. 
I couldn't hear the church bells.
I couldn't hear the organ playing.
Somebody open that goddamn box
And let me see you to believe
That this is the last time. 
The second your flag had risen
I should have realized that you -
You always fucking knew
That your war would end a loss.
How blind did they make me?
But you said,
"Don't cry for me.
I just want to play, little boy.
Keep making me laugh."
No matter how weak you felt, 
You refused to bring me,
Your most trusted cadet,
Down with you.
And I hate you for that,
Though, I love you for that,
And I miss you for that.

Therefore, tonight,
I disobey your order.
Because the world grew so loud
That my ears bled. 
I'm still alive, Captain.
And, I'm crying for you.
