FMA poem for fma_100

[okami_hu]

Fullmetal Lullaby

Feel the gentle wind tonight;
Full of tears and muffled laughter.
Everything seems clear and bright
Filled with deep despair and rapture.

Railways run into the distance,
Train engines hum soft and steady
Lulling me into a deep trance
I’m almost asleep already.

Folded red coat is my pillow,
Red eyes watch over my nightmares.
Short is my rest, the joy’s shallow;
Where’s the place where our journey ends?

Where is the peace of our young souls?
Vanished into sinful darkness.
In my heart the emptiness grows;
All my nights are cold and starless.

One thing keeps me moving forward -
A promise I made years ago;
If I can be true to my word
True happiness soon would follow.

I actually used would to put the sentence into conditional. Because it's a possibility. Or something like that... Anyway, as I told you before, feel free to change! OMG, I should write song lyrics for FMA...

I looked it up and it appears both will and would are possible. XD I think I find that 'will' sounds more natural, because would refers to the past for me, but they are both correct and they both indicate a possibility. *English language freak here ¬¬ please forgive me*

Aaaaanyway, I got two nice programs on which I can play the songs, I only need to learn to work with it, but then I can send you the melody. XD One of them is really awesome, like an electric organ (which I so want to have... if I can't have a piano), only because it's a demo, I can't use the sharp F automatically, so that sucks, but apart from that... *smiles beatifically* I love it.
