Narrator: .
Circles never stop themselves,
Nothing that you've ever held,
Were you promised or enict,
And sometimes when you lose you win.
Circles never stop themselves,

Jasper: .
Priscilla, what'd you do?
When they come for me,
You know they'll also kill you to?
Jasper/ Priscilla: .
You're young,/ all those years youre here,
your song's unsung,/ you suffer quietly
There's still so much/ it's barbarous to think
for you to do./ That's fair.
Priscilla what'd you do?/ there's no one
Now they'll come/ who thinks of you,
and you must run,
Or else / the game is gonna end right here.
they'll kill you, too.
You're alive so/ I'd help you to die
I can die/ if I could, but...
It's wrong and you must know that's true.
/I'd help you to die
Ghosts of love, /if I could, Love.
ghosts of lives,
I've watched fall
and pass me by/ Some sacrifice!
Ghosts of all of the selfish, vain.
All the blindness/ anyway,
all the pain/ some sacrifice-
All the rules and petty games!
All the sadness/ it all away!
all the same!
Soldier 7285: .
And on the day we come, it's over!
And you will have your fate
Laid out and strung!
It's execution,
Soldier 7285/ Jasper// Priscilla: .
And you may pray if you get
comfort/ one day you will learn!
It's on this day your duty's done!
/and you will burn
like my heart burns// some speak about love
And on this day/ one day
You've been/ you will learn// in a sweet way
Caught Guilty/ and you will burn
/like my hearts burns// some sentiment of
The sentence, citizen/ one day// bliss and
Is death/ you will learn// dream states.
/and you will burn
/like my heart-// some speak about
It will be/ Ghost of all// love-
Carried out/ the selfish, vain// in a kind way.
This instant/ all the blindness
/all the pain// some sentiment of
Say any prayers/ all rules
That you want said/ and petty games// raptuous states
/all the sadness
/all the same// some sacrifice...
I am the arm/ please, my angel!
Of execution!/ my angel!
/Please, my angel// some sacrifice...
I am the trigger
Of your gun/ my angel!// some sacrifice
/Please, my angel!
I am the binding
And the order/ my angel!// some sacrifice
/Please, my angel!
Its on this day your duty's done!
Priscilla: .
Please go back
To berths of black
To silent Shores
From me once more
Through veils and gates
And seas of slate
And blood red moors
Where I'll see you once more...
