Bliss Stage: Children of Children opening theme song:
It's Not My Time
Three Doors Down holds the copyright. I am using this for my and my friends personal use: no challenge to copyright is intended.

Suggested by MrSitouh.

Add or edit imagery as needed: put images in italics (two apostrophes to open and two to close).

Still sepia photos in rapid succession: Young Sara hanging off anchor Nathan, while Josh looks on in pain - Keenan holding anchor Yukiko as they cry into each other's shoulders - Anna kissing Anchor Meredith goodbye - the run on the base - the exploding moon.

Then, color photos: A sixteen-year old Sara in a plain white dress and Josh in a makeshift suit - Anna's grave, and Sara and a child Archer strewing it with flowers - a young teenaged Archer Lin kissing Sophie, to her shock and Keenan's amusement ...

Looking back at the beginning of this

Sara walking with her son and daughter in the evening, Ari talking with Isaac to, Jon's amusement. Kids play PA&M in the background - then the lights flash red. Sara, worried, kisses Jon, then Ari, who rush to the creche.

And how life was

Jessica gives Ariana a thumbs-up and a grin: Lily squeezes Jon's hand in passing. Casey is already in position: Noah and Archer look on, Noah in wonder, Archer in resignation.

Just you and me and love and all of our friends

Thier ANIMa - Ari's Magical Femroid Glorious Princess; Jon's walking cannon; Casey's angular machine; Archer's Kakashi-Bot; and Noah's close-in skirmisher - fly out over the dreamscape sea at night, crescent moon with the convex-side pointing downwards and occasional shooting stars, to meet the alien enemies: targets light up all over Jon's HUD.

Living life like an ocean

Suddenly a tentacle snakes up from the waters, dragging Casey's mech down. She, in the cockpit, silently screams: Jon, in his cockpit, gasps in shock and his ANIMa grabs for her mech's hand. More tentacles whip out, latching on to them and slowly, surely, dragging them down.

Now the current's slowly pulling me down
It's getting harder to breathe
It won't be too long and I'll be going under
Can you save me from this

('Cause) It's not my time,
I'm not going
There's a fear in me
It's not showing
This could be the end of me
And everything I know
Oh, I won't go

I look ahead to all the plans that we made
And the dreams that we had
I'm in a world that tries to take them away
Oh, but I'm taking them back
All this time I've just been too blind to understand
What should matter to me
My friend, this life we live
Is not what we have, it's what we believe

(And) It's not my time
I'm not going
There's a fear in me
It's not showing
This could be the end of me
And everything I know
But, it's not my time
I'm not going
There's a fear in me
Now I know that
This could be the end of me
And everything I know
Oh, I won't go
I won't go

(solo)

There might be more than you believe
(There might be more than you believe)
There might be more than you can see
But, it's not my time
I'm not going
There's a fear in me
It's not showing
This could be the end of me
And everything I know
But, it's not my time
I'm not going
There's a will in me
Now it's gonna show
This could be the end of me
And everything I know, oh
There might be more than you believe
(There might be more than you believe)
There might be more than you can see
And I won't go
No I won't go down (yeahh)

: SunKitten, MoonShadow, would posting this be all-right? I've put a disclaimer here and we kind of need the lyrics side by side with the imagery or the imagery won't make sense, but if it really is going to cause a problem... --ElliottBelser

See CopyrightMatters for the policy.

I did. It seems to be kosher: they allow this sort of thing. I found this on a free lyrics site saying as much. --ElliottBelser

If that's their policy, fine; it's up to them. Link to the site?

: Give me a sec... [1]. --ElliottBelser
