SMALL TWO OF PIECES ~Broken Shards~

SMALL TWO OF PIECES ~Broken Shards~ (called Small Two of Pieces -Screeching Shards- on the Revival disc, sometimes unofficially referred to as Small Two Of Pieces ~Restored Pieces~) is Disc 1, Track 19 on the Xenogears Original Soundtrack and track 45 on the Xenogears Original Soundtrack Revival Disc -the first and the last-. The track was remixed for the Xenogears 20th Anniversary Concert -The Beginning and the End-, and is the 22nd track on the associated Blu-Ray disc. It was also remixed for -MYTH- The Xenogears Orchestral Album. A Japanese version was made for CREID, called Möbius.

Faraway Promise (and, by extension, A Distant Promise - Piano Version -, Wind from the Valley - A Distant Promise, and A Distant Promise (Music Box Version)) are versions of this track, with Faraway Promise being played on a music box.

This track is the ending theme of Xenogears, playing at the end of the final cutscene as well as in the staff credits.

The lyrics were written by Masato Kato and sung by Joanne Hogg, and are as follows:

Run through the cold of night as passion burns in your heart Ready to fight, a knife held close by your side Like a proud wolf alone in the dark with eyes that watch the world And my name like a shadow on the face of the moon

Broken mirror A million shades of light The old echo fades away But just you and I Can find the answer and then We can run to the end of the world We can run to the end of the world

Cold fire clenched to my heart in the blue of night Torn by this pain, I paint your name in sound And the girl of the dawn with eyes of blue and angel wings The songs of the season are her only crown

Broken mirror A million shades of light The old echo fades away But just you and I Can find the answer and then We can run to the end of the world We can run to the end of the world

We met in the mist of morning And parted deep in the night Broken sword and shield and tears that never fall But run through the heart Washed away by the darkest water The world is peaceful and still

Broken mirror A million shades of light The old echo fades away But just you and I Can find the answer and then We can run to the end of the world We can run to the end of the world

Run to the end of the world
