Gyah. I'm low on creativity at the moment. Anyway:
Song: Melissa, the opening theme to Full Metal Alchemist
Suggested effect: generates a psi-blade, or a weapon of mental energy if you will. As it's a purely psychic weapon, it doesn't do *PHYSICAL* damage... but it's a pretty good way to cut up someone's mind, or, more specifically, their memory.
Lyrics: Unfortunately, I couldn't find a copy of the lyrics to the long version of the song, but, for obvious reasons, I have a copy of the lyrics to the short version on my subtitled copies of the episodes. Anyway, according to the AF-F fansub (I disagree with them on spacing issues, among other things -- they conjoin things into single words that I really wouldn't), the lyrics are:
Kiminotede kirisaite tooihino kiokuwo,
Kanashimino ikinonewo tometeku re yo.
Saa aini kogareta munewo tsuranuke!
Asu gakuruhazuno sorawo mite,
Mayou bakarino kokoro moteamashiteru.
Katawarano toriga habataita,
Dokoka hikari wo mitsukeraretanokana?
Naa, omaenoseni oremonosetekurenaika?
Soshite, ichiban takaitokorode,
Okizarinishite yasashisakara toozakete.
Kiminotede kirisaite tooihino kiokuwo,
Kanashimino ikinonewo tometeku re yo.
Saa aini kogareta munewo tsuranuke!

Translated (same source):
Cut it up with your hands, memories of the old days.
Stop the breath of sadness. Please...
Now pierce through the heart burned by love!
Looking at the sky, tomorrow is supposed to come,
Unable to control the doubtful heart.
The bird beside me flapped its wings,
Did it find a light somewhere?
Hey, will you let me on your wings?
Leave me on the highest place and,
Take me far from kind hearts.
Cut it up with your hands, memories of the old days.
Stop the breath of sadness. Please...
Now pierce through the heart burned by love!

Unfortunately, it's too recent for the Walk, but it might be helpful elsewhere. :-)-------------------
*No,* Sachiel replied.
*Aww, come on,* I answered.
*Absolutely not,* he insisted.
*What's so bad about my idea?*
*While I have no problem with withdrawing and allowing you to handle the situation, I have... issues with your plan to tell the Lillim that you are the "3.14th Angel, Auwhotda'ell".*

Full Metal Alchemist... I've seen translations of the manga, but I hadn't know of an anime... It's new, I guess?
Either way, while it's highly derivative, I'd say it'd be worth a rent, at least.
Blessed be.

It's fairly interesting, although I need to see more episodes to really judge it. That being said, what do you think of my idea for the song?-------------------

Interesting. Another tool to use against the Psi Corps if I ever do Babylon 5...

First I'd heard of it was in the latest Newtype. DIdn't exactly reach out and grab me but I do remember the show so it may have something.
I was a little more grabbed by the Figure 17 episode on the freebie DVDs. Now that looks rather interesting.
