FF13: The Darkest Side of Me ("The Truth Beneath the Rose")

After a two-year hiatus, I finally decided to make a new AMV. I thought of the concept for this vid a year ago and started working on it in January, but I got distracted by life and only got around to finishing it now. For this vid I'm returning to my roots with an epic drama centered around a classic Within Temptation song. As with my more recent AMVs however, I used the song to craft my own story, rather than simply following the story of the games.
==STORY==
Lightning, holy warrior for the Pulse fal'Cie, has led a long and bloody revolution against the Sanctum. In the process she has lost many of her closest friends including her sister Serah. On the cusp of victory and the final destruction of Cocoon, Lightning is summoned by the Goddess Etro to answer for the thousands of deaths she has caused in her war. Landing on the shores of Valhalla, she is condemned to battle Caius Ballad for the rest of eternity to atone for her sins....

Give me strength to face the truth The doubt within my soul No longer I can justify The bloodshed in his name Is it a sin to seek the truth, the truth beneath the rose? Pray with me so I will find the gate to Heaven's door I believed it would justify the means It had a hold over me Blinded to see The cruelty of the beast Here is the darkest side of me (Forgive me my sins) The veil of my dreams Deceived all I have seen Forgive me for what I have been (Forgive me my sins) Pray for me 'cause I have lost my faith in holy wars Is paradise denied to me 'cause I can't take no more? Has darkness taken over me Consumed my mortal soul? All my virtues sacrificed Can Heaven be so cruel? I believed it would justify the means It had a hold over me (Forgive me my sins) Blinded to see The cruelty of the beast Here is the darkest side of me (Forgive me my sins) The veil of my dreams Deceived all I have seen Forgive me for what I have been (Forgive me my sins) I'm hoping, I'm praying I won't get lost between two worlds For all I've seen, The truth lies in between Give me the strength to face the wrong that I have done Now that I know The darkest side of me How can blood be your salvation And justify the pain That we have caused throughout the times Will I learn what's truly sacred Will I redeem my soul Will truth set me free (Forgive me my sins) Blinded to see The cruelty of the beast Here is the darkest side of me (Forgive me my sins) The veil of my dreams Deceived all I have seen Forgive me for what I have been (Forgive me my sins)
