"I think continually of those who were truly great --
The names of those who in their lives fought for life,
Who wore at their hearts the fire's center."
-Stephen Spender
Note: This AMV is a tribute to our soldiers overseas and the sacrifices they have and will make for their country and the world.

The song 'Rise' (composed by Yoko Kanno and Tim Jensen, performed by Origa), the opening theme for Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex 2nd GIG, always struck me as the perfect song to describe the sacrifices soldiers of any nation have had to make in war (as well as being my favorite song from any GITS soundtrack). Typically I wouldn't use a song from an anime with the same anime in an AMV (because it lacks imagination in song choice), but GITS is the only anime I feel is appropriate to use with this particular song. Besides that, GITS quite often deals with the subject of terrorism and its damaging effects on global society.
While 'Rise' does romanticize war a bit, the lyrics still ring true, especially in respect to America's current relations with the Middle Eastern countries. Regardless of how any one person may feel about the morality and motives of the War on Terror, the fact still remains that citizens of our country risk their lives every day to keep us safe -- and I think this song captures that sentiment well.
This is also probably going to be the first and last time I'll be using both seasons of GITS: SAC and the movie, Solid State Society, all at once in a video. Most of the clips I chose were from the 2nd GIG, although I'd intended to heavily draw from the movie for this. Every clip was chosen for a reason, even if it might seem random in some places. Emotionally speaking I'm not so sure I hit the mark this time, but I'll let you be the judge of that.
I'd also like to dedicate this AMV to all of my subscribers and everyone who's supported my videos over the past year -- you guys make the time I spend on these worthwhile, and I deeply appreciate all the feedback. ^^ Thanks for giving me a great first year as a video editor.
I'm not certain why, but Origa uses both Russian and English in this song, so I've provided a translation for you further down. The original lyrics can be found at http://www.animelyrics.com.
English Translation:
I'm a soldier, meaning that I'm
Both the defendant and the judge
I'm standing on both sides of the fire
Going around turns, overtaking death and life
I'm running to fight with the shadow of a lie
No matter how many threads deception would weave
Truth will show its face of light
Chorus:
Save your tears
For the day
When the pain is far behind
On your feet
Come with me
We are soldiers, stand or die
Save your fears
Take your place
Save them for the judgement day
Fast and free
Follow me
Time to make the sacrifice
We rise or fall
I'm a soldier, born to stand
In this waking hell I am
Witnessing more than I can compute
Pray myself we don't forget
Lies, betrayed and the oppressed
Please give me the strength to be the truth
People facing the fire together
If we don't, we'll lose all we have found
Repeat Chorus
After a dream to the edge of a chasm
Only that way can the world be saved
Don't you cry
Hide the tears
Because a new day will start
Your fire
Will be heated
By thousands of hearts
But now get up
Hide the pain and fear far
The one who's right will win
Know that everything is in your hands
Repeat Chorus

Ryan Skyy - Warmth and Prose (poem) Why is it that I always end up in relationships where the other person is never as passionate or (More) Why is it that I always end up in relationships where the other person is never as passionate or "ready" as I am. I was dumped because the person that I was with wasn't over the dude they were with before me. I told them that once I left that that would be it and they would regret leaving me. But people can't help how they feel I guess. I wrote this poem shortly after the breakup. And ironically not too long after the breakup they wanted to get back together with me because they realized they were happiest when they were with me and they probably wouldn't find someone else like me again. I had already forced myself to move on and do what I needed to do to get over them and I just could never feel the same way about them that I did when we were together. So the moral of this poem is DON'T TAKE ANYTHING FOR GRANTED!! The grass is ALWAYS going to be greener on the other side, but there's nothing wrong with being ok with just looking at it from the already green grass you're standing on. There are dozens of people out there who will equally make you happy and happiness is happiness. If you find it keep it. You're lucky. "Warmth and Prose" by: Ryan Schmidt The sunrise woke me up today To a mem'ry of a bitter sweet melody Of a song I used to hum as I'd watch you sleep, Wondering if you'd wake to see the sun with me. Do you remember what it feels like to lie in my bed? Can you see the flecks of light dancing off my head? Can you hear the gentle words that were softly said? Or are those memories of me in your heart now dead? Did you push that away? Did you cover it up? Do you swallow my existence with your morning cup? Or did you drink me away with another love? I doubt that you are capable of drinking enough. I hope you are happy if that's what you chose. Even now you still inspire me to write my prose. But the sunrise doesn't bring the same warmth to me. It's colder in my room now that Fall's been freed. It's a different time. I am a different man. This is a different poem flowing out a different hand. But I have the same heart. Still have the same soul. I'm still in love with life, I'm still strong and bold. And the sun is gonna rise every morning for me. And the warmth will work it's way back eventually. And you know what? Life will bring me someone unexpectedly, Who will wake up in the morning and wanna lay with me, Who will write me poems back unpoetically, Who will make me fall in love uncontrollably. And I'll get to show them things that you think you've seen. But it'll change them in ways you could never be, And it'll take us to a place you could never reach, And it'll drive us down a one-way shaded private street, And it'll fly us to a private-owned deserted beach, And it'll make up for the hurt and pain you caused in me. And finally in my life when I go to sleep, And wake up in the morning as the sunrise peaks, I'll be inspired still to let my thoughts prose me out, But I'll have someone else I'll want to be writing about!
