Last Grand Stand Show -KM Valentine

For TK, my Quatre baby

Tonight is the last night I will hear the opening music play

One last curtain call before I go off to my lonesome way

I fight because it is what I was taught to do

One last battle, one last victory, with which I say farewell to you

They taught me, as I came to be a man

To fight for what I believed was right

I stand here before you, drinking in your applause

And I know, once the curtain falls,

You will be surprised and amazed by me once more

My high wire act, my dancing under the lights,

It is all illusionary, a diversion I am using to put you all at ease

When the lights go down, after I take my bow

The real show will begin

I will raise myself into my machine

I will close my ears and ignore the screams

I will give my friends time to escape

And then my enemies will share my fate

I want to be like he was

My compatriot

The first of us

I will carry out the mission

Which was given me, with pride

None shall look upon a Gundam

And live to tell of it

And you will see your end

In my hand this night
