The Soldier & The Flower Girl.

(Verse 1)  So I met you right after I caused an explosion.
           With that cat and the flowers you were unloading.
           In this city, under the company's reign and the earth's erosion.
           You asked what happened, tried selling flowers almost goading.

(Spoken) Little did I know you were part of the big picture.

(Chorus) Because I was a SOLDIER and you were a flower girl
         Our fates intertwined; goal to save the world in our minds.
         We were both unsure of how all this would unfurl.
         But now whenever it rains, to me it just reminds.

(Verse 2) Second meeting, I fell through the roof of the church.
          You helped me out, though I landed on your flowers.
          These guys came in. Deal: Bodyguard for a date. Here we go; lurch.
          We had to fight but you helped out, with your healing powers.

(Chorus) Because I was a SOLDIER and you were a flower girl
         Our fates intertwined; goal to save the world in our minds.
         We were both unsure of how all this would unfurl.
         But now whenever it rains, to me it just reminds.

(Bridge) So there we were, us and some others,
         Travelling around, even stopping at your adoptive mothers',
         We came across this city with its lights so bright,
         You paid your debt, and we had our date night,
         It wasn't our first; I remember the one at the park,
        After that you got captured, rescued you, then I felt the spark.

(Chorus) Because I was a SOLDIER and you were a flower girl
         Our fates intertwined; goal to save the world in our minds.
         We were both unsure of how all this would unfurl.
         But now whenever it rains, to me it just reminds.

(Verse 3) We found the truth; your real mother was an Ancient. The Last.
          That jewel she gave you was more. To save the world, it was HOLY.
          To continue our quest, we went to the Ancient City. And you went to cast.
          I found you there, in prayer. It happened so fast, but I see it slowly.

(Chorus) Because I was a SOLDIER and you were a flower girl
         Our fates intertwined; goal to save the world in our minds.
         We were both unsure of how all this would unfurl.
         But now whenever it rains, to me it just reminds.

(Spoken) I couldn't even stop it, but there I was.
          I let you die.



Post Script: Sorry this is a couple days late, was feeling a little under the weather.
