Another AMV I just had to make. I mean seriously, since Phantom is so full of the characters (mainly Ein, Zwei and Cal) gaining something and then losing it, this song was like a perfect match with the series. I especially love the part where I put the scene of Cal and Zwei in the car and the song going Let me fly once again, like I did way back when, since it so goes well with the hope that meeting Cal gave Zwei after going through so much. In any case, I have to say that some of the finer aspects of this AMV will be probably lost to people who have not seen the series themselves, but the harmony between the lyrics and the scenes should hopefully be enjoyable for all.
Oh yes, and this AMV is dedicated to my good friend, blackmage15, as a very belated birthday present! I blame my assignments for the huge delay. Sumimasen. :c

Lyrics:
Which way to the fountain of my youth I wonder
Which way to the years I’ve let go by
Let a thirsty man drink in its memories while the water still flows sweet and crystal clear
For yesteryear
Oh to see the sun’s eclipse
on the horizon like ships
sailing way away from here
Oh just one more time my dear
Before I’ll go hear me out
Cos of this there ain’t no doubt
When it’s time for curtain call
Just before the shadows…
Fall like a leaf in the wind on the ocean
Of blue like your eyes in the twilight theater
With symphonies playing in the world without sound
We’re given and denied
Give me back my innocence cos I wish to dream again
Like I never outgrew my old playground
Where the sun sets slowly with a golden crown and the leaves sing lullabies ‘round vacant swings
Give me those wings
Let me fly once again
Like I did way back when
I would gamble and win
To lift me high above the din
Of the future we see
Does it hold something for me
I’m weightless again
Just before the shadows…
Fall like a leaf in the wind on the ocean
Of blue like your eyes in the twilight theater
With symphonies playing in the world without sound
We’re given and denied
Before I’ll go hear me out
Cos of this there ain’t no doubt
When it’s time for curtain call
Just before the shadows…
Fall like a leaf in the wind on the ocean
Of blue like your eyes in the twilight theater
With symphonies playing in the world without sound
We’re given and denied
Fall like a leaf in the wind on the ocean
Of blue like your eyes in the twilight theater
With symphonies playing in the world without sound
We’re given and denied
