The Truth Beneath the Rose by Within Temptation



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)

Summons a version of Rits post-overcoming Gendo's influence - not the most stable individual, but a good computer or bio scientist and the song is long enough at a little over 7min for her to have a chance at accomplishing something. Might also work for Rei II or III.

...Might be good, except I don't thing Doug's ever going to meet Ritsuko in DW6. Maybe once, at a party at Misato's place, but hardly to the level that his subconscious would make a sim of her.

Then the horns kicked in...
...and my shoes began to squeak.

Ah well. Maybe another opportunity will crop up - characters who've been taken in by the baddies are far from uncommon.
