The Sevenfold Thought - Silver King Ascent v1.1 by Kyrtin Atreides Lyrics
Do not go gentle into that good night,
Old age should burn and rave at close of day;
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
Though wise men at their end know dark is right,
Because their words had forked no lightning they
Do not go gentle into that good night.
Good men, the last wave by, crying how bright
Their frail deeds might have danced in a green bay,
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
Wild men who caught and sang the sun in flight,
And learn, too late, they grieved it on its way,
Do not go gentle into that good night.
Grave men, near death, who see with blinding sight
Blind eyes could blaze like meteors and be gay,
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
And you, my father, there on the sad height,
Curse, bless, me now with your fierce tears, I pray.
Do not go gentle into that good night.
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
Here I am at last, and this is the story of how I died.
Where are you?
Inside the TARDIS, there’s one tiny little gap in the universe left, just about to close…
And it takes a lot of power to send this projection, I’m in orbit around a supernova…
I’m burning up a sun just to say goodbye.
I give you a gift, the only gift I have to give.
Remember, all I’m offering is the truth, nothing more.
I am the bad wolf, I create myself.
I take the words, I scatter them in time and space, a message, to lead myself here.
You are the inescapable result of your tragedy, just as I am the inescapable result of you.
What have you done?
I looked into the TARDIS, and the TARDIS looked into me.
You looked into the time vortex Rose, no one’s meant to see that!
And it can no longer harm me!
I have survived the crucible Sabiha, I have silenced the voices within who would have possessed me.
Only I remain now, to do what I must do.
You’ve got to stop this! You’ve got to stop this now!
You’ve got the entire vortex running through your head! You’re gonna burn!
I want you safe, my doctor, protected from the false God.
You cannot hurt me, I am immortal!
You are tiny, I can see the whole of time and space, every single atom of your existence, and I divide them!
Everything must come to dust.
You can’t do this, there are rules!
Yes, there are rules, but you broke them!
How dare you! How dare you!
And now there remains only one final question…
The question, the question you’ve been asking yourself with increased regularity.
That space, and time, and thought aren’t the separate things they appear to be?
Einstein, it’s time!
Indeed.
Unlock the knowledge. I have to make peace.
Time … Flies.
Time … Bandits.
Time … Wounds all heals.
Time … Rosemary and…
Time … Time Ends.
Rose you’ve done it, now stop!
Just Let go!
How can I let go of this?
I bring life!
But this is wrong! You can’t control life and death!
But I can!
The sun and the moon, the day and night…
but why do they hurt?
The sun would not have risen.
Then what would have happened?
A mere flaming ball of gas would have illuminated the world.
Alright I’m not stupid!
You’re saying that humans need fantasies to make life bearable?
No, humans need fantasies to be human.
To be the place where the falling angel meets the rising ape.
It is the unknown which defines our existence,
we are constantly searching, not just for answers for our questions, but for new questions.
We are explorers. We explore our lives day by day,
and we explore the galaxy trying to expand the boundaries of our knowledge,
and that is why I am here, not to conquer you with weapons or with ideas, but to coexist, and to learn.
You’re here because you know something…
what you know you can’t explain, but you feel it.
You’ve felt it your entire life.
And we’re about to go through the crucible, but we’ll come out the other side.
We always arise from our own ashes, everything returns later in its changed form.
Your grandfather’s ring.
And your father’s.
And now the Fremen’s.
To remind you of Muad’Dib.
To remind you that all leaders make mistakes, and that all leaders are but human.
I can see everything.
Come on, use your eyes, notice everything!
Notice everything!
Their children screamed, and then it came, like a Miracle…
It won’t eat the children…
Their Children screamed, and then it came…
It’s the last of its kind.
Just me now.
The last of its kind.
So, is this how it works Doctor?
You never interfere in the affairs of other peoples or planets … children screamed…
…unless there’s children crying?
…the last of its kind.
Just me now.
Unless there’s children crying.
Yes!
It won’t eat the children.
And then it came, like a miracle…
the last of the Star Whales.
You cannot harm me.
You cannot harm one who has dreamed a dream like mine.
Violence can be used for good.
What are you talking about?
Justice.
Do you know what I think is psycho Rob?
It’s decent men, with loving families, they go home every day after work, and they turn on the news, do you know what they see?
They see rapists, and murderers, and child molesters, and they’re all getting out of prison.
Mafiosos, getting caught with 20 kilos, getting out on bail, the same fucking day!
And everywhere, everyone thinks the same thing, that someone should just go kill those motherfuckers!
Kill them all!
Admit it, even you’ve thought about it!
I’ve never been injured Elijah.
What am I supposed to do?
Go to where people are.
You won’t have to look very long.
It’s alright to be afraid David, because this part won’t be like a comic book.
Real life doesn’t fit into little boxes that were drawn for it.
All that is…
I’m trying to free your mind Neo, but I can only show you the door, you’re the one that has to walk through it.
Your problem is not technology, the problem is you.
You lack the will to change.
Then help us change.
I cannot change your nature.
You treat the world as you treat each other.
You try to act as if there is some ideal order in the world.
As if there is some, some rightness in the universe by which it may be judged.
But people have got to believe that, or what’s the point?
You need to believe in things that aren’t true, how else can they become?
Because you didn’t come here to make the choice, you’ve already made it.
You’re here to try to understand why you made it.
We can still turn things around!
We’ve watched and waited and hoped that you would change.
Please … It’s reached the tipping point. We have to act.
Someone will do something stupid, and when they do, things will turn nasty.
We have guns!
No what you have are bullets, and the hope that when your guns are empty I’m no longer standing…
Because if I am, you’ll all be dead before you’ve reloaded.
You have one way out of this.
That wasn’t it.
At which point all V needs to do is keep his word…
And then…
My Turn!
I don’t want to be here.
Then why do you exist here?
I don’t understand.
You exist here.
All that was…
Take mine!
Take my memories.
But I hope you’ve got a big appetite, because I have lived a long life…
and I have seen a few things.
I walked away from the last great Time War, I marked the passing of the Timelords.
I saw the birth of the universe and I watched out time ran out…
moment by moment until nothing remained…
no time, no space…
just Me!
I walked in universes where the laws of physics were devised by the mind of a mad man!
And I’ve watched universes freeze and creations burn!
I have seen things you wouldn’t believe! I have lost things you will never understand!
And I know things, secrets that must never be told…
knowledge that must never be spoken…
knowledge that will make parasite gods blaze!
So come on then! Take it! Take it all baby!
You have it! You have it all!
A heavy cost…
I pay it gladly.
Like everyone else you were born into bondage…
born into a prison that you cannot smell or taste or touch…
a prison, for your mind.
Never compromise, not even in the face of Armageddon!
That’s always been the difference between us.
One of us had to accept the agony…
He was always the stronger.
Run you clever boy, and remember!
I’ve always had the greatest secret of them all, I know you.
Explode those ships you kill yourself, and that’s the one thing you can never do.
What if you were really old, and really kind and alone, your whole race dead, no future.
What couldn’t you do then?
If you were that old, and that kind, and the very last of your kind…
You couldn’t just stand there and watch children cry.
You wouldn’t listen! … No!
Because you know what I’m gonna say.
All that ever could be…
Get out of the way!
You did this to me!
All of my life!
You made me!
One!
Two!
Three!
Four!
It’s a whole future that never happened…
There are billions and millions of unlived days for every day we live, an Infinity.
All the days that never came, and these are all my Mum’s.
Well come on then, eat up!
Are you full?
I expect so, because there’s quite a difference isn’t there, between what was and what should have been.
There’s an awful lot of one, but there’s an infinity of the other!
And infinity is too much, even for your appetite!
And what am I?
Have you really forgotten?
Yes, maybe yes.
And what then?
Don’t fight in the north, or the south, fight every battle, everywhere, always, in your mind.
Everyone is your enemy. Everyone is your friend.
Every possible series of events is happening, all at once.
Live that way, and nothing will surprise you.
Everything that happens will be something that you’ve seen before.
If all you say is true, why do you exist here?
He is my secret.
What I did, I did without choice.
I know.
In the name of peace, and sanity.
But not in the name of The Doctor!
You understand don’t you?
Without condoning, or condemning, I understand.
You were The Doctor on the day it wasn’t possible to get it right.
But this time, you don’t have to do it alone.
How do you use a weapon of ultimate mass destruction when it can stand in judgement on you?
There is only one man who would even try.
But there will be consequences for you.
I have no desire to survive this.
Then that’s your punishment.
If you this, if you kill them all, then that’s the consequence…
You live!
You have your answer, now go.
They’re what you become if you destroy Gallifrey…
the man who regrets, and the man who forgets.
The moment is coming, the moment is me, you have to decide.
It is done because there is no other way, and it is done in the name of the many lives we are failing to save.
You were my life…
I apologize for every time I failed you, especially this one.
Everything that has a beginning has an end Neo.
God be between you and harm, in all the empty places where you must walk.
You were right Smith…
you were always right.
It was inevitable.
So yeah, I’m givin up…
just not the way you think.
…
What is the point of bringing me back again, to this?!
We do not bring you here, you bring us here, you exist here.
Then give me the power to lead you somewhere else! Anywhere else!
We cannot give you what you deny yourself! Look for solutions from within Commander.
You’re a man haunted by those two most terrible words…
“What if?”
His name is The Doctor, all the name he needs, everything you need to know about him.
And if you love him, and you should, help him!
To save you, I could do anything.
Oh God!
No! No! No! No! No! No!
Don’t give up! Don’t give up! Don’t give up Christy!
Christy! Don’t! Don’t! Don’t! Don’t give up! Don’t give up!
Christy!
Christy! Christy! Don’t give up!
Together, or not at all!
Doctor!
What’s happening?
The paradox…
it’s working!
The paradox is working!
Bad Wolf.
Are you afraid of the Big Bad Wolf Doctor?
Stop calling me Doctor.
That’s the name if your head.
It shouldn’t be.
I’ve been fighting this war for a long time.
I’ve lost the right to be The Doctor.
Then you’re the one to save us all?
Dormammu, I’ve come to bargain!
You, what is happening?
Just as you gave Kaecilius powers from your dimension I brought a little power from mine.
This is Time.
Endless, looped, time!
You Dare!
No.
Dormammu, I’ve come to bargain!
You cannot do this forever.
Actually, I can.
This is how things are now, you and me, trapped in this moment endlessly.
Then you will spend eternity dying!
Yes, but everyone on Earth will live.
But you will suffer!
Pain’s an old friend.
Dormammu, I’ve come to bargain!
End this!
Dormammu! Dormammu! Dormammu!
You will never win!
No, but I can lose…
again, and again…
and again, and again forever…
and that makes you my prisoner!
No!
Stop!
Make this stop!
Set me free!
No, I’ve come to bargain.
What do you want?
Take your zealots from the Earth, end your assault on my world, and never come back!
Do it, and I’ll break the loop!
You hear that you bastards?
All or nothing!
Even if that were possible, which it isn’t, why would you do such a thing?
Because the alternative is burning, and I’ve seen that, and I never want to see it again!
We’d have nothing!
You would have hope, and right now that is exactly what you don’t have!
It’s delusional!
The calculations alone would take hundreds of years!
Oh hundreds and hundreds, but don’t worry, I started a very long time ago.
Calling the War Council of Gallifrey, This is The Doctor!
You might say I’ve been doing this all of my lives!
[?]
Ready … Commencing Calculations … Soon be there!
Cross the boundaries that divide one universe from another!
I’ll lock onto his coordinates…
And for my next trick…
If I didn’t know it I was well off, all 12 of them!
No sir, all 13!
Sir, the Daleks know that something is happening, they’re increasing their firepower!
Do it Doctor.
Just do it!
Do it!
Ok.
Gentlemen, we’re ready.
Geronimo!
Allons-y!
Oh, for God’s sake! Gallifrey Stands!
What some folks call impossible is just stuff they haven’t seen before.
We all change, when you think about it, we’re all different people all through our lives…
and that’s ok, that’s good, you gotta keep moving, so long as you remember all the people that you used to be!
I will not forget one line of this, not one day, I swear.
I will always remember when The Doctor was me.
I dream about where I’m going. She always laughs at that.
But you’re not going anywhere, you’re just wandering about.
That’s not true, not anymore.
I have a new destination.
My journey is the same as yours, the same as anyone’s.
It’s taken me so many years, so many lifetimes, but at last I know where I’m going, where I’ve always been going…
home, The long way round.
Why does the doctor always survive?
Because he’s clever!
Yes, but there’s lots of clever dead people, I love killing clever [?], they make the best faces.
Because he always assumes he’s going to win.
He always knows there’s a way to survive, he just has to go and find it!
Yes, but this time he made a will, and threw himself a goodbye party.
Now if The Doctor assumes he’s going to die what happens then?
I have to tell truths I’ve never told before, that’s the only thing that stops it.
Oh, dying is an ability, believe me.
Barring accidents she may now be functionally immortal.
But if the repair kit never stops working then why did you give her two?
Immortality isn’t living forever, that’s not what it feels like, immortality is everybody else dying.
At the end of everything we should expect the company of immortals, or so I’ve been told.
Even the other immortals are gone, it’s just me…
Singular, unattached, alone.
I can’t remember most of it, that’s the trouble with an infinite life and a normal sized memory.
I no longer have memories of my past,
but nevertheless, I remember that scene.
But how long, will I have to be here?
Forever.
You see the problem is…
Clara…
There are truths that I can never tell, not for anything.
Returning, returning, returning, it is slowly returning…
through the dark and the fire and the blood always returning…
returning to this world…
it is returning, and he is returning, and they are returning…
but too late, too late, far too late.
He has come.
It’s very nearly over.
I could have saved her. I could have got it [?] but she wouldn’t listen!
Then she was wiser than you.
She understood there was no escaping the Time War.
You are a part of this Doctor, whether you like it or not!
I would rather die!
You’re dead already, how many more will you let join you?
I’m going to do something far worse.
I’m gonna get out of here, and find whoever put me here in the first place…
and whatever they’re trying to do I’m gonna stop it!
But it might take me a little while.
So, what have we got so far?
They hold onto power by targeting the part of the brain specifically to do with memory and perception.
Correct, am I right?
Getting warm, fingers tingling.
But they target it with what exactly? How do they sustain it?
How do their lies infiltrate the brains of billions?
You are monsters!
Here you are, hiding away at the end of time. Do you even know why?
Because you are hated. You are hated, by everybody, but by nobody more than me.
But I know the rage that drives you, that impossible anger strangling the grief,
until the memory of your loved one is just poison in your veins,
and one day you catch yourself wishing the person you loved had never existed,
so you’d be spared your pain.
I wasn’t always here in the mountains.
Once I had a wife, my great love.
She was taken from me.
Like you I was forced to learn there are those without decency, who must be fought without hesitation, without pity.
Your anger gives you great power, but if you let it, it will destroy you, as it almost did me.
What stopped it?
Vengeance.
I don’t understand? Are you kidding? Me, of course I understand.
I mean do you call this a war? This funny little thing.
This is not a war! I fought in a bigger war than you will ever know!
I did worse things than you could ever imagine!
And when I close my eyes, I hear more screams than anyone could ever be able to count!
And you know what you do with all of that pain?
Shall I tell you where you put it?
You hold it tight, until it burns your hand, and you say this!
No one else will ever have to live like this!
No one else will ever have to feel this pain!
Not on my watch!
Sorry, but you’re way out of time.
Now come on, I have a bit of history for ya, and aren’t you proud, cause you helped.
Now, do you know how many people are watching this, live on the telly?
Half a billion! And that’s nothing, because the human race will spread out among the stars,
and you just watch them fly, and billions and billions of them, for billions and billions of years,
and every single one of them at some point in their lives will look back at this man
taking that very first step, and they will never ever forget it!
Oh, but they’ll forget this bit.
Ready … Ready.
That’s one small step for man … You should kill us all on sight!
You should kill us all on sight!
You should kill us all on sight!
You should kill us all on sight!
You’ve just given the order for your own execution, and the whole planet just heard you!
You should kill us all on sight!
… one giant leap for mankind.
And one whacking great kick up the backside for the Silence!
You just raised an army against yourself!
And now, for a thousand generations, you’re going to be ordering them to destroy you every day.
How fast can you run? Cause today’s the day the human race throw you off their planet,
they won’t even know they’re doing it.
She’s filling its mind with one pure, uncorrupted, irresistible image,
and it’s broadcasting it to the world because it can’t help it!
All those years you kept it alive inside you, an isolated subroutine in a living mind.
Perfect, untouchable, she’s a window on the world without the Monks.
Absolutely loved, absolutely trusted, and that window is opening, everywhere.
A glimpse of freedom, but a glimpse is all you need, the lie is breaking.
I can do whatever the hell I like, you’ve read the stories, you know who I am!
And in all of that time, did you ever hear anything about anyone who stopped me?
I know The Doctor, The Doctor…
The Doctor is no longer here, you are stuck with me, and I will end you, and everything you love.
So, for your own sake understand this, I’m The Doctor, I’m coming to find you, and I will never ever stop.
Isn’t this going a little far?
Oh, I’ve barely started.
Tell them I tried to talk, I want you to remember that.
I tried to reach out.
I tried to understand you, but I think that you understand us perfectly, and I think that you just don’t care.
And I don’t know whether you are here to invade, infiltrate, or just replace us.
I don’t suppose it really matter now, you are monsters!
That is the role you seem determined to play, so it seems that I must play mine!
The man that stops the monsters.
Peace on the street depends on one thing…
to break it, in any way, is to face The Raven.
We don’t sacrifice people, it’s wrong, because it’s easy.
You know back in the day I’d burn an entire city to the ground just to see the pretty shapes the smoke makes.
I’m sorry your plus one doesn’t get a happy ending,
but like it or not I just saved this world because I want to change.
Your version of ‘Good’ is not absolute, it’s vain, arrogant, sentimental,
and if you’re waiting for me to become all that I’m going to be here for a long time yet.
I can give you what you want more easily as a foe than a friend.
I’ll be your enemy, whenever you decide to find a reason.
We can fix this can’t we?
We always fix it.
No.
I know that I can’t save everyone.
I know that no one can be saved without sacrifice.
Even knowing that it was nothing but an ideal,
I only kept chasing after it even harder.
Even if I hurt one to save the many,
I’ll keep pursuing a happy future, where no one will be hurt.
And at the end of everything, this is where he ended up.
You don’t want it to end here, do you?
What?
You appear to have a reason for living.
The girl. It can’t be!
If you had power, you could live?
I’ll make a deal with you.
In exchange for power, you must make my one wish come true.
Accept this contract, and while you will live in the world of humans, you will live unlike any other human.
A different providence, a different time, a different life.
The power of the king will isolate you.
If you are prepared for it.
That’s the worst call.
Your human qualities will vanish if you use that.
I don’t care.
Anything to protect my family.
He won’t stop.
He won’t reach his limit.
He’s long since gone past it.
The reason is that the thing he’s attempting to slay stopped being me long ago.
I know that haggard look all too well!
His spirit can’t be broken.
I know all too well the man who was never defeated, who never gave up.
I know too well how ugly justice looks as it struggles for an ideal shared by no one: to save everyone!
[gears stop]
That if one could be saved, perhaps he may be capable of saving all who suffer.
His Void gathers everything and assumes its weight.
Strengths, weaknesses, light, darkness…
Everything.
What Shirou is trying to slay is the self that stands in his way.
To remain true to what he’s believed in, what he will continue believing in.
What Archer is trying to kill is the self that gave rise to him.
To wipe out the mistakes he is doomed to repeat in the future.
Once, I had a dream.
Both were correct.
Both of them were correct.
I saw Hell.
I saw Hell.
I saw Hell.
I saw a Hell that I would arrive at one day.
Rat, this is…
…Hell.
It’s reality.
It isn’t Hell at all; this is what your society was built upon.
Remembering something that no one else can is a painful thing.
You can’t talk to anyone about it. No one will understand you.
You’ll be alone.
So that’s how it’s been for you all this time?
I wish to die.
To end my existence forever.
[gears stop]
This hill is his world.
It was his reward for always helping people, the end of the line.
It seemed like he’d embraced this landscape, dying with a smile, saying he was satisfied.
If the Apocalypse virus turns misery into bad will, then I’ll…
I’ll assume that bad will too.
The bad will can sink into my body.
Yeah, you’re right…
My wish is a fake.
But I sensed a beauty in it.
I understand that putting others before myself is hypocritical.
But even so…
Even so, I admired it, thinking, “If I could live like that, how great would that be?”
Even if my life is a sham,
The wish for others to be happy must be beautiful.
I won’t lose it.
Even if it’s foolish, I won’t turn back.
I know my dream isn’t…
Even if I’m a fraud, I know my dream isn’t wrong!
Even if that’s true, what of it?
The Ragnarök Connection has already begun!
You think so? I am Zero!
The man who works miracles!
Your Geass won’t work on me, nor anyone else here!
No, there’s someone else here, isn’t there?
That’s right! C’s World is the consciousness of mankind!
And all men are not equal! Both statements are your words!
And you know my power works because of that inequality!
Lelouch, you’re a fool!
The power of the king cannot defeat God!
I don’t intend to defeat God! This is a request!
That’s right! Now, I know who I really am!
God! Collective unconscious!
Please, don’t stop the march of time!
You can’t do it! Not God! Not all of humanity itself!
Even so, what I want…IS THE FUTURE!
Everything started with this.
I should be the one who bears the burden of this sin.
No matter how many times I saw the sun set and rise, my world has always remained still.
But now, I can feel it moving again from that light.
Dawn.
The start of a new world…
A Reality Marble?
A forbidden spell that manifests the caster’s inner world and encroaches on reality.
This is the one thing I can do.
Shu!
Don’t!
That’s a cruel thing.
I’m being made to look into an old mirror.
There really was such a man once, wasn’t there?
If anyone has the right to be called a hero, it’s not the one who took up the blade.
It’s not the one who raised his shield, nor the one who healed the wounded.
Only one who truly risks his life may be called a hero.
Protect your friends, save the girl, and face danger.
It doesn’t matter if you fall. No, that’s just fine.
Cry your heart out over it.
Within the defeated, a victor waits to emerge.
Stay true to your wishes.
Cry out your desires.
I guess this really is the only option…
Now mankind… War itself will change!
Now can come Damocles!
I’ve been running away all this time.
But right here, right now, I’m going to reveal myself!
Do you have it in you to kill me?
I’ve decided.
I’ll get my hands as dirty as I have to, for their sake.
Let your longings burn.
Scream out your wishes.
Limit Off?
[“Brave the Ocean” playing]
This…
Yes!
Wow!
It’s no use avoiding it any longer.
Anna.
No…
Red King.
No Blood…
No Bone…
No Ash!
The Sword of…Damocles…?
Oh, it’s the smile. I don’t like the smile!
The Sword of Damocles hanging over New York; I can’t destroy it, I can’t remove it, I can’t stop it falling.
There’s only one thing I can do…
What?
The unexpected!
The thing about being in a room full of buttons and switches is… I love buttons and switches!
What are you doing?
What are you doing?
Thrusters engaged.
I am the bone of my sword, steel is my body and fire is my blood.
I have created over a thousand blades, unknown to death, nor known to life.
I have endured pain to create many weapons, yet my hands will never hold anything.
So, as I pray, Unlimited Blade Works.
Will you keep relying on that mysterious power regardless?
I’ve seen it before. A man obsessed with power was devoured by it.
Power that surpasses reason is but madness.
Are you prepared to keep suppressing that madness?
Becoming obsessed with power to the point of losing yourself…
I experienced it firsthand.
Still, I’m not who I once was.
Because there’s something I want to protect.
Something to protect?
You were so arrogant to think that you were holding up the world by yourself!
Don’t forget.
No matter what world line you’re on, you’ll never be alone.
I’ll find you, wherever you are!
I will continue to observe you just as you kept on observing me.
I’m sorry, but I don’t want to be an emperor, that’s not my business.
I don’t want to rule or conquer anyone, I should like to help everyone if possible.
Jew, Gentile, Black man, White, we all want to help one another, human beings are like that.
We want to live by each other’s happiness, not by each other’s misery.
We don’t want to hate and despise one another.
In this world there’s room for everyone, and the good earth is rich and can provide for everyone.
The way of life can be free and beautiful, but we have lost the way.
Greed has poisoned men’s souls, has barricaded the world with hate, has goose-stepped us into misery and bloodshed.
We have developed speed, but we have shut ourselves in.
Machinery that gives abundance has left us in want.
Our knowledge has made us cynical, our cleverness hard and unkind.
We think too much and feel too little.
More than machinery we need humanity.
More than cleverness, we need kindness and gentleness.
Without these qualities life will be violent, and all will be lost.
The airplane and the radio have brought us closer together…
The very nature of these inventions cries out for the goodness in men…
Cries out for universal brotherhood, for the unity of us all!
Even now my voice is reaching millions throughout the world…
Millions of despairing men, women, and children.
Victims of a system that makes men torture and imprison innocent people.
For those who can hear me I say do not despair.
The misery that is now upon us is but the passing of greed, the bitterness of men who fear the way of human progress.
The hate of men will pass, and dictators die, and the power they took from the people will return to the people…
And so long as men die liberty will never perish!
You the people have the power!
The power to create machines, the power to create happiness!
You the people have the power to make this life free and beautiful…
To make this life a wonderful adventure!
Then in the name of Democracy, let us use that power, let us all unite!
Let us fight for a new world, a decent world, that will give men a chance to work, that will give you the future, and old age a security.
By the promise of these things brutes have risen to power, but they lie, they do not fulfill that promise…
They never will!
Dictators free themselves but they enslave the people!
Now let us fight to fulfill that promise! [“Inama Nushif” plays]
Let us fight to free the world!
To do away with national barriers!
To do away with greed, with hate and intolerance!
Let us fight for a world of reason, a world where science and progress will lead to all mens’ happiness.
I…
Maestro?
It seems you were made to bear some unnecessary burdens up until now.
In that case, forgive the abruptness, but let us speak of genius.
A genius is not one who possesses outstanding ability or talent.
Of course, having those is desirable, but talent alone amounts to naught more than just that.
Even this blade, talented in the art of cutting, meets that criteria.
What, then, makes a genius?
It is one who can clearly see the differences between themselves and others.
When comparing their abilities to each other, people become fixated on the idea that they are fundamentally equal.
But alas, they are not.
All people are different.
What one can do may be impossible for another, and what another can accomplish may be beyond one’s reach.
A genius is one who understands that cruelty.
I am an almighty genius, but I would never dream of expecting others of being able to perform my duties.
At the same time, I know that I cannot imitate any other, no matter how lacking in skill they may be.
Every man wants to believe that they are fully the equal to any other.
After all, what a splendid thing that would be.
What a warm, satisfying thing that would be.
If we could all understand each other, if we could share our values, if we could go forward hand in hand that would be the makings of an ideal world, the sort that appears in dreams.
But reality is not so.
We each have our roles, and we each have our weaknesses.
Believing in others is important, but more important still is knowing that they are different from yourself.
There is no need for grand displays. You should simply do what you are capable of.
I should do what I am capable of. That is all anyone can do.
Old age should burn and rave at close of day;
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
Though wise men at their end know dark is right,
Because their words had forked no lightning they
Do not go gentle into that good night.
Good men, the last wave by, crying how bright
Their frail deeds might have danced in a green bay,
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
Wild men who caught and sang the sun in flight,
And learn, too late, they grieved it on its way,
Do not go gentle into that good night.
Grave men, near death, who see with blinding sight
Blind eyes could blaze like meteors and be gay,
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
And you, my father, there on the sad height,
Curse, bless, me now with your fierce tears, I pray.
Do not go gentle into that good night.
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
Here I am at last, and this is the story of how I died.
Where are you?
Inside the TARDIS, there’s one tiny little gap in the universe left, just about to close…
And it takes a lot of power to send this projection, I’m in orbit around a supernova…
I’m burning up a sun just to say goodbye.
I give you a gift, the only gift I have to give.
Remember, all I’m offering is the truth, nothing more.
I am the bad wolf, I create myself.
I take the words, I scatter them in time and space, a message, to lead myself here.
You are the inescapable result of your tragedy, just as I am the inescapable result of you.
What have you done?
I looked into the TARDIS, and the TARDIS looked into me.
You looked into the time vortex Rose, no one’s meant to see that!
And it can no longer harm me!
I have survived the crucible Sabiha, I have silenced the voices within who would have possessed me.
Only I remain now, to do what I must do.
You’ve got to stop this! You’ve got to stop this now!
You’ve got the entire vortex running through your head! You’re gonna burn!
I want you safe, my doctor, protected from the false God.
You cannot hurt me, I am immortal!
You are tiny, I can see the whole of time and space, every single atom of your existence, and I divide them!
Everything must come to dust.
You can’t do this, there are rules!
Yes, there are rules, but you broke them!
How dare you! How dare you!
And now there remains only one final question…
The question, the question you’ve been asking yourself with increased regularity.
That space, and time, and thought aren’t the separate things they appear to be?
Einstein, it’s time!
Indeed.
Unlock the knowledge. I have to make peace.
Time … Flies.
Time … Bandits.
Time … Wounds all heals.
Time … Rosemary and…
Time … Time Ends.
Rose you’ve done it, now stop!
Just Let go!
How can I let go of this?
I bring life!
But this is wrong! You can’t control life and death!
But I can!
The sun and the moon, the day and night…
but why do they hurt?
The sun would not have risen.
Then what would have happened?
A mere flaming ball of gas would have illuminated the world.
Alright I’m not stupid!
You’re saying that humans need fantasies to make life bearable?
No, humans need fantasies to be human.
To be the place where the falling angel meets the rising ape.
It is the unknown which defines our existence,
we are constantly searching, not just for answers for our questions, but for new questions.
We are explorers. We explore our lives day by day,
and we explore the galaxy trying to expand the boundaries of our knowledge,
and that is why I am here, not to conquer you with weapons or with ideas, but to coexist, and to learn.
You’re here because you know something…
what you know you can’t explain, but you feel it.
You’ve felt it your entire life.
And we’re about to go through the crucible, but we’ll come out the other side.
We always arise from our own ashes, everything returns later in its changed form.
Your grandfather’s ring.
And your father’s.
And now the Fremen’s.
To remind you of Muad’Dib.
To remind you that all leaders make mistakes, and that all leaders are but human.
I can see everything.
Come on, use your eyes, notice everything!
Notice everything!
Their children screamed, and then it came, like a Miracle…
It won’t eat the children…
Their Children screamed, and then it came…
It’s the last of its kind.
Just me now.
The last of its kind.
So, is this how it works Doctor?
You never interfere in the affairs of other peoples or planets … children screamed…
…unless there’s children crying?
…the last of its kind.
Just me now.
Unless there’s children crying.
Yes!
It won’t eat the children.
And then it came, like a miracle…
the last of the Star Whales.
You cannot harm me.
You cannot harm one who has dreamed a dream like mine.
Violence can be used for good.
What are you talking about?
Justice.
Do you know what I think is psycho Rob?
It’s decent men, with loving families, they go home every day after work, and they turn on the news, do you know what they see?
They see rapists, and murderers, and child molesters, and they’re all getting out of prison.
Mafiosos, getting caught with 20 kilos, getting out on bail, the same fucking day!
And everywhere, everyone thinks the same thing, that someone should just go kill those motherfuckers!
Kill them all!
Admit it, even you’ve thought about it!
I’ve never been injured Elijah.
What am I supposed to do?
Go to where people are.
You won’t have to look very long.
It’s alright to be afraid David, because this part won’t be like a comic book.
Real life doesn’t fit into little boxes that were drawn for it.
All that is…
I’m trying to free your mind Neo, but I can only show you the door, you’re the one that has to walk through it.
Your problem is not technology, the problem is you.
You lack the will to change.
Then help us change.
I cannot change your nature.
You treat the world as you treat each other.
You try to act as if there is some ideal order in the world.
As if there is some, some rightness in the universe by which it may be judged.
But people have got to believe that, or what’s the point?
You need to believe in things that aren’t true, how else can they become?
Because you didn’t come here to make the choice, you’ve already made it.
You’re here to try to understand why you made it.
We can still turn things around!
We’ve watched and waited and hoped that you would change.
Please … It’s reached the tipping point. We have to act.
Someone will do something stupid, and when they do, things will turn nasty.
We have guns!
No what you have are bullets, and the hope that when your guns are empty I’m no longer standing…
Because if I am, you’ll all be dead before you’ve reloaded.
You have one way out of this.
That wasn’t it.
At which point all V needs to do is keep his word…
And then…
My Turn!
I don’t want to be here.
Then why do you exist here?
I don’t understand.
You exist here.
All that was…
Take mine!
Take my memories.
But I hope you’ve got a big appetite, because I have lived a long life…
and I have seen a few things.
I walked away from the last great Time War, I marked the passing of the Timelords.
I saw the birth of the universe and I watched out time ran out…
moment by moment until nothing remained…
no time, no space…
just Me!
I walked in universes where the laws of physics were devised by the mind of a mad man!
And I’ve watched universes freeze and creations burn!
I have seen things you wouldn’t believe! I have lost things you will never understand!
And I know things, secrets that must never be told…
knowledge that must never be spoken…
knowledge that will make parasite gods blaze!
So come on then! Take it! Take it all baby!
You have it! You have it all!
A heavy cost…
I pay it gladly.
Like everyone else you were born into bondage…
born into a prison that you cannot smell or taste or touch…
a prison, for your mind.
Never compromise, not even in the face of Armageddon!
That’s always been the difference between us.
One of us had to accept the agony…
He was always the stronger.
Run you clever boy, and remember!
I’ve always had the greatest secret of them all, I know you.
Explode those ships you kill yourself, and that’s the one thing you can never do.
What if you were really old, and really kind and alone, your whole race dead, no future.
What couldn’t you do then?
If you were that old, and that kind, and the very last of your kind…
You couldn’t just stand there and watch children cry.
You wouldn’t listen! … No!
Because you know what I’m gonna say.
All that ever could be…
Get out of the way!
You did this to me!
All of my life!
You made me!
One!
Two!
Three!
Four!
It’s a whole future that never happened…
There are billions and millions of unlived days for every day we live, an Infinity.
All the days that never came, and these are all my Mum’s.
Well come on then, eat up!
Are you full?
I expect so, because there’s quite a difference isn’t there, between what was and what should have been.
There’s an awful lot of one, but there’s an infinity of the other!
And infinity is too much, even for your appetite!
And what am I?
Have you really forgotten?
Yes, maybe yes.
And what then?
Don’t fight in the north, or the south, fight every battle, everywhere, always, in your mind.
Everyone is your enemy. Everyone is your friend.
Every possible series of events is happening, all at once.
Live that way, and nothing will surprise you.
Everything that happens will be something that you’ve seen before.
If all you say is true, why do you exist here?
He is my secret.
What I did, I did without choice.
I know.
In the name of peace, and sanity.
But not in the name of The Doctor!
You understand don’t you?
Without condoning, or condemning, I understand.
You were The Doctor on the day it wasn’t possible to get it right.
But this time, you don’t have to do it alone.
How do you use a weapon of ultimate mass destruction when it can stand in judgement on you?
There is only one man who would even try.
But there will be consequences for you.
I have no desire to survive this.
Then that’s your punishment.
If you this, if you kill them all, then that’s the consequence…
You live!
You have your answer, now go.
They’re what you become if you destroy Gallifrey…
the man who regrets, and the man who forgets.
The moment is coming, the moment is me, you have to decide.
It is done because there is no other way, and it is done in the name of the many lives we are failing to save.
You were my life…
I apologize for every time I failed you, especially this one.
Everything that has a beginning has an end Neo.
God be between you and harm, in all the empty places where you must walk.
You were right Smith…
you were always right.
It was inevitable.
So yeah, I’m givin up…
just not the way you think.
…
What is the point of bringing me back again, to this?!
We do not bring you here, you bring us here, you exist here.
Then give me the power to lead you somewhere else! Anywhere else!
We cannot give you what you deny yourself! Look for solutions from within Commander.
You’re a man haunted by those two most terrible words…
“What if?”
His name is The Doctor, all the name he needs, everything you need to know about him.
And if you love him, and you should, help him!
To save you, I could do anything.
Oh God!
No! No! No! No! No! No!
Don’t give up! Don’t give up! Don’t give up Christy!
Christy! Don’t! Don’t! Don’t! Don’t give up! Don’t give up!
Christy!
Christy! Christy! Don’t give up!
Together, or not at all!
Doctor!
What’s happening?
The paradox…
it’s working!
The paradox is working!
Bad Wolf.
Are you afraid of the Big Bad Wolf Doctor?
Stop calling me Doctor.
That’s the name if your head.
It shouldn’t be.
I’ve been fighting this war for a long time.
I’ve lost the right to be The Doctor.
Then you’re the one to save us all?
Dormammu, I’ve come to bargain!
You, what is happening?
Just as you gave Kaecilius powers from your dimension I brought a little power from mine.
This is Time.
Endless, looped, time!
You Dare!
No.
Dormammu, I’ve come to bargain!
You cannot do this forever.
Actually, I can.
This is how things are now, you and me, trapped in this moment endlessly.
Then you will spend eternity dying!
Yes, but everyone on Earth will live.
But you will suffer!
Pain’s an old friend.
Dormammu, I’ve come to bargain!
End this!
Dormammu! Dormammu! Dormammu!
You will never win!
No, but I can lose…
again, and again…
and again, and again forever…
and that makes you my prisoner!
No!
Stop!
Make this stop!
Set me free!
No, I’ve come to bargain.
What do you want?
Take your zealots from the Earth, end your assault on my world, and never come back!
Do it, and I’ll break the loop!
You hear that you bastards?
All or nothing!
Even if that were possible, which it isn’t, why would you do such a thing?
Because the alternative is burning, and I’ve seen that, and I never want to see it again!
We’d have nothing!
You would have hope, and right now that is exactly what you don’t have!
It’s delusional!
The calculations alone would take hundreds of years!
Oh hundreds and hundreds, but don’t worry, I started a very long time ago.
Calling the War Council of Gallifrey, This is The Doctor!
You might say I’ve been doing this all of my lives!
[?]
Ready … Commencing Calculations … Soon be there!
Cross the boundaries that divide one universe from another!
I’ll lock onto his coordinates…
And for my next trick…
If I didn’t know it I was well off, all 12 of them!
No sir, all 13!
Sir, the Daleks know that something is happening, they’re increasing their firepower!
Do it Doctor.
Just do it!
Do it!
Ok.
Gentlemen, we’re ready.
Geronimo!
Allons-y!
Oh, for God’s sake! Gallifrey Stands!
What some folks call impossible is just stuff they haven’t seen before.
We all change, when you think about it, we’re all different people all through our lives…
and that’s ok, that’s good, you gotta keep moving, so long as you remember all the people that you used to be!
I will not forget one line of this, not one day, I swear.
I will always remember when The Doctor was me.
I dream about where I’m going. She always laughs at that.
But you’re not going anywhere, you’re just wandering about.
That’s not true, not anymore.
I have a new destination.
My journey is the same as yours, the same as anyone’s.
It’s taken me so many years, so many lifetimes, but at last I know where I’m going, where I’ve always been going…
home, The long way round.
Why does the doctor always survive?
Because he’s clever!
Yes, but there’s lots of clever dead people, I love killing clever [?], they make the best faces.
Because he always assumes he’s going to win.
He always knows there’s a way to survive, he just has to go and find it!
Yes, but this time he made a will, and threw himself a goodbye party.
Now if The Doctor assumes he’s going to die what happens then?
I have to tell truths I’ve never told before, that’s the only thing that stops it.
Oh, dying is an ability, believe me.
Barring accidents she may now be functionally immortal.
But if the repair kit never stops working then why did you give her two?
Immortality isn’t living forever, that’s not what it feels like, immortality is everybody else dying.
At the end of everything we should expect the company of immortals, or so I’ve been told.
Even the other immortals are gone, it’s just me…
Singular, unattached, alone.
I can’t remember most of it, that’s the trouble with an infinite life and a normal sized memory.
I no longer have memories of my past,
but nevertheless, I remember that scene.
But how long, will I have to be here?
Forever.
You see the problem is…
Clara…
There are truths that I can never tell, not for anything.
Returning, returning, returning, it is slowly returning…
through the dark and the fire and the blood always returning…
returning to this world…
it is returning, and he is returning, and they are returning…
but too late, too late, far too late.
He has come.
It’s very nearly over.
I could have saved her. I could have got it [?] but she wouldn’t listen!
Then she was wiser than you.
She understood there was no escaping the Time War.
You are a part of this Doctor, whether you like it or not!
I would rather die!
You’re dead already, how many more will you let join you?
I’m going to do something far worse.
I’m gonna get out of here, and find whoever put me here in the first place…
and whatever they’re trying to do I’m gonna stop it!
But it might take me a little while.
So, what have we got so far?
They hold onto power by targeting the part of the brain specifically to do with memory and perception.
Correct, am I right?
Getting warm, fingers tingling.
But they target it with what exactly? How do they sustain it?
How do their lies infiltrate the brains of billions?
You are monsters!
Here you are, hiding away at the end of time. Do you even know why?
Because you are hated. You are hated, by everybody, but by nobody more than me.
But I know the rage that drives you, that impossible anger strangling the grief,
until the memory of your loved one is just poison in your veins,
and one day you catch yourself wishing the person you loved had never existed,
so you’d be spared your pain.
I wasn’t always here in the mountains.
Once I had a wife, my great love.
She was taken from me.
Like you I was forced to learn there are those without decency, who must be fought without hesitation, without pity.
Your anger gives you great power, but if you let it, it will destroy you, as it almost did me.
What stopped it?
Vengeance.
I don’t understand? Are you kidding? Me, of course I understand.
I mean do you call this a war? This funny little thing.
This is not a war! I fought in a bigger war than you will ever know!
I did worse things than you could ever imagine!
And when I close my eyes, I hear more screams than anyone could ever be able to count!
And you know what you do with all of that pain?
Shall I tell you where you put it?
You hold it tight, until it burns your hand, and you say this!
No one else will ever have to live like this!
No one else will ever have to feel this pain!
Not on my watch!
Sorry, but you’re way out of time.
Now come on, I have a bit of history for ya, and aren’t you proud, cause you helped.
Now, do you know how many people are watching this, live on the telly?
Half a billion! And that’s nothing, because the human race will spread out among the stars,
and you just watch them fly, and billions and billions of them, for billions and billions of years,
and every single one of them at some point in their lives will look back at this man
taking that very first step, and they will never ever forget it!
Oh, but they’ll forget this bit.
Ready … Ready.
That’s one small step for man … You should kill us all on sight!
You should kill us all on sight!
You should kill us all on sight!
You should kill us all on sight!
You’ve just given the order for your own execution, and the whole planet just heard you!
You should kill us all on sight!
… one giant leap for mankind.
And one whacking great kick up the backside for the Silence!
You just raised an army against yourself!
And now, for a thousand generations, you’re going to be ordering them to destroy you every day.
How fast can you run? Cause today’s the day the human race throw you off their planet,
they won’t even know they’re doing it.
She’s filling its mind with one pure, uncorrupted, irresistible image,
and it’s broadcasting it to the world because it can’t help it!
All those years you kept it alive inside you, an isolated subroutine in a living mind.
Perfect, untouchable, she’s a window on the world without the Monks.
Absolutely loved, absolutely trusted, and that window is opening, everywhere.
A glimpse of freedom, but a glimpse is all you need, the lie is breaking.
I can do whatever the hell I like, you’ve read the stories, you know who I am!
And in all of that time, did you ever hear anything about anyone who stopped me?
I know The Doctor, The Doctor…
The Doctor is no longer here, you are stuck with me, and I will end you, and everything you love.
So, for your own sake understand this, I’m The Doctor, I’m coming to find you, and I will never ever stop.
Isn’t this going a little far?
Oh, I’ve barely started.
Tell them I tried to talk, I want you to remember that.
I tried to reach out.
I tried to understand you, but I think that you understand us perfectly, and I think that you just don’t care.
And I don’t know whether you are here to invade, infiltrate, or just replace us.
I don’t suppose it really matter now, you are monsters!
That is the role you seem determined to play, so it seems that I must play mine!
The man that stops the monsters.
Peace on the street depends on one thing…
to break it, in any way, is to face The Raven.
We don’t sacrifice people, it’s wrong, because it’s easy.
You know back in the day I’d burn an entire city to the ground just to see the pretty shapes the smoke makes.
I’m sorry your plus one doesn’t get a happy ending,
but like it or not I just saved this world because I want to change.
Your version of ‘Good’ is not absolute, it’s vain, arrogant, sentimental,
and if you’re waiting for me to become all that I’m going to be here for a long time yet.
I can give you what you want more easily as a foe than a friend.
I’ll be your enemy, whenever you decide to find a reason.
We can fix this can’t we?
We always fix it.
No.
I know that I can’t save everyone.
I know that no one can be saved without sacrifice.
Even knowing that it was nothing but an ideal,
I only kept chasing after it even harder.
Even if I hurt one to save the many,
I’ll keep pursuing a happy future, where no one will be hurt.
And at the end of everything, this is where he ended up.
You don’t want it to end here, do you?
What?
You appear to have a reason for living.
The girl. It can’t be!
If you had power, you could live?
I’ll make a deal with you.
In exchange for power, you must make my one wish come true.
Accept this contract, and while you will live in the world of humans, you will live unlike any other human.
A different providence, a different time, a different life.
The power of the king will isolate you.
If you are prepared for it.
That’s the worst call.
Your human qualities will vanish if you use that.
I don’t care.
Anything to protect my family.
He won’t stop.
He won’t reach his limit.
He’s long since gone past it.
The reason is that the thing he’s attempting to slay stopped being me long ago.
I know that haggard look all too well!
His spirit can’t be broken.
I know all too well the man who was never defeated, who never gave up.
I know too well how ugly justice looks as it struggles for an ideal shared by no one: to save everyone!
[gears stop]
That if one could be saved, perhaps he may be capable of saving all who suffer.
His Void gathers everything and assumes its weight.
Strengths, weaknesses, light, darkness…
Everything.
What Shirou is trying to slay is the self that stands in his way.
To remain true to what he’s believed in, what he will continue believing in.
What Archer is trying to kill is the self that gave rise to him.
To wipe out the mistakes he is doomed to repeat in the future.
Once, I had a dream.
Both were correct.
Both of them were correct.
I saw Hell.
I saw Hell.
I saw Hell.
I saw a Hell that I would arrive at one day.
Rat, this is…
…Hell.
It’s reality.
It isn’t Hell at all; this is what your society was built upon.
Remembering something that no one else can is a painful thing.
You can’t talk to anyone about it. No one will understand you.
You’ll be alone.
So that’s how it’s been for you all this time?
I wish to die.
To end my existence forever.
[gears stop]
This hill is his world.
It was his reward for always helping people, the end of the line.
It seemed like he’d embraced this landscape, dying with a smile, saying he was satisfied.
If the Apocalypse virus turns misery into bad will, then I’ll…
I’ll assume that bad will too.
The bad will can sink into my body.
Yeah, you’re right…
My wish is a fake.
But I sensed a beauty in it.
I understand that putting others before myself is hypocritical.
But even so…
Even so, I admired it, thinking, “If I could live like that, how great would that be?”
Even if my life is a sham,
The wish for others to be happy must be beautiful.
I won’t lose it.
Even if it’s foolish, I won’t turn back.
I know my dream isn’t…
Even if I’m a fraud, I know my dream isn’t wrong!
Even if that’s true, what of it?
The Ragnarök Connection has already begun!
You think so? I am Zero!
The man who works miracles!
Your Geass won’t work on me, nor anyone else here!
No, there’s someone else here, isn’t there?
That’s right! C’s World is the consciousness of mankind!
And all men are not equal! Both statements are your words!
And you know my power works because of that inequality!
Lelouch, you’re a fool!
The power of the king cannot defeat God!
I don’t intend to defeat God! This is a request!
That’s right! Now, I know who I really am!
God! Collective unconscious!
Please, don’t stop the march of time!
You can’t do it! Not God! Not all of humanity itself!
Even so, what I want…IS THE FUTURE!
Everything started with this.
I should be the one who bears the burden of this sin.
No matter how many times I saw the sun set and rise, my world has always remained still.
But now, I can feel it moving again from that light.
Dawn.
The start of a new world…
A Reality Marble?
A forbidden spell that manifests the caster’s inner world and encroaches on reality.
This is the one thing I can do.
Shu!
Don’t!
That’s a cruel thing.
I’m being made to look into an old mirror.
There really was such a man once, wasn’t there?
If anyone has the right to be called a hero, it’s not the one who took up the blade.
It’s not the one who raised his shield, nor the one who healed the wounded.
Only one who truly risks his life may be called a hero.
Protect your friends, save the girl, and face danger.
It doesn’t matter if you fall. No, that’s just fine.
Cry your heart out over it.
Within the defeated, a victor waits to emerge.
Stay true to your wishes.
Cry out your desires.
I guess this really is the only option…
Now mankind… War itself will change!
Now can come Damocles!
I’ve been running away all this time.
But right here, right now, I’m going to reveal myself!
Do you have it in you to kill me?
I’ve decided.
I’ll get my hands as dirty as I have to, for their sake.
Let your longings burn.
Scream out your wishes.
Limit Off?
[“Brave the Ocean” playing]
This…
Yes!
Wow!
It’s no use avoiding it any longer.
Anna.
No…
Red King.
No Blood…
No Bone…
No Ash!
The Sword of…Damocles…?
Oh, it’s the smile. I don’t like the smile!
The Sword of Damocles hanging over New York; I can’t destroy it, I can’t remove it, I can’t stop it falling.
There’s only one thing I can do…
What?
The unexpected!
The thing about being in a room full of buttons and switches is… I love buttons and switches!
What are you doing?
What are you doing?
Thrusters engaged.
I am the bone of my sword, steel is my body and fire is my blood.
I have created over a thousand blades, unknown to death, nor known to life.
I have endured pain to create many weapons, yet my hands will never hold anything.
So, as I pray, Unlimited Blade Works.
Will you keep relying on that mysterious power regardless?
I’ve seen it before. A man obsessed with power was devoured by it.
Power that surpasses reason is but madness.
Are you prepared to keep suppressing that madness?
Becoming obsessed with power to the point of losing yourself…
I experienced it firsthand.
Still, I’m not who I once was.
Because there’s something I want to protect.
Something to protect?
You were so arrogant to think that you were holding up the world by yourself!
Don’t forget.
No matter what world line you’re on, you’ll never be alone.
I’ll find you, wherever you are!
I will continue to observe you just as you kept on observing me.
I’m sorry, but I don’t want to be an emperor, that’s not my business.
I don’t want to rule or conquer anyone, I should like to help everyone if possible.
Jew, Gentile, Black man, White, we all want to help one another, human beings are like that.
We want to live by each other’s happiness, not by each other’s misery.
We don’t want to hate and despise one another.
In this world there’s room for everyone, and the good earth is rich and can provide for everyone.
The way of life can be free and beautiful, but we have lost the way.
Greed has poisoned men’s souls, has barricaded the world with hate, has goose-stepped us into misery and bloodshed.
We have developed speed, but we have shut ourselves in.
Machinery that gives abundance has left us in want.
Our knowledge has made us cynical, our cleverness hard and unkind.
We think too much and feel too little.
More than machinery we need humanity.
More than cleverness, we need kindness and gentleness.
Without these qualities life will be violent, and all will be lost.
The airplane and the radio have brought us closer together…
The very nature of these inventions cries out for the goodness in men…
Cries out for universal brotherhood, for the unity of us all!
Even now my voice is reaching millions throughout the world…
Millions of despairing men, women, and children.
Victims of a system that makes men torture and imprison innocent people.
For those who can hear me I say do not despair.
The misery that is now upon us is but the passing of greed, the bitterness of men who fear the way of human progress.
The hate of men will pass, and dictators die, and the power they took from the people will return to the people…
And so long as men die liberty will never perish!
You the people have the power!
The power to create machines, the power to create happiness!
You the people have the power to make this life free and beautiful…
To make this life a wonderful adventure!
Then in the name of Democracy, let us use that power, let us all unite!
Let us fight for a new world, a decent world, that will give men a chance to work, that will give you the future, and old age a security.
By the promise of these things brutes have risen to power, but they lie, they do not fulfill that promise…
They never will!
Dictators free themselves but they enslave the people!
Now let us fight to fulfill that promise! [“Inama Nushif” plays]
Let us fight to free the world!
To do away with national barriers!
To do away with greed, with hate and intolerance!
Let us fight for a world of reason, a world where science and progress will lead to all mens’ happiness.
I…
Maestro?
It seems you were made to bear some unnecessary burdens up until now.
In that case, forgive the abruptness, but let us speak of genius.
A genius is not one who possesses outstanding ability or talent.
Of course, having those is desirable, but talent alone amounts to naught more than just that.
Even this blade, talented in the art of cutting, meets that criteria.
What, then, makes a genius?
It is one who can clearly see the differences between themselves and others.
When comparing their abilities to each other, people become fixated on the idea that they are fundamentally equal.
But alas, they are not.
All people are different.
What one can do may be impossible for another, and what another can accomplish may be beyond one’s reach.
A genius is one who understands that cruelty.
I am an almighty genius, but I would never dream of expecting others of being able to perform my duties.
At the same time, I know that I cannot imitate any other, no matter how lacking in skill they may be.
Every man wants to believe that they are fully the equal to any other.
After all, what a splendid thing that would be.
What a warm, satisfying thing that would be.
If we could all understand each other, if we could share our values, if we could go forward hand in hand that would be the makings of an ideal world, the sort that appears in dreams.
But reality is not so.
We each have our roles, and we each have our weaknesses.
Believing in others is important, but more important still is knowing that they are different from yourself.
There is no need for grand displays. You should simply do what you are capable of.
I should do what I am capable of. That is all anyone can do.
