  This video took me almost a month of work, re-edits, swearing, and a huge amount of coffee. The idea was to use the same method I used with my Blinded by Rainbows video, i.e. use the anime to follow the song. From an "anime" point of view, this video doesn't follow a chronological order, it isn't a character profile, it doesn't tell you the story of fullmetal alchemist. Nevertheless, it tells you the lyrics, or at least it tries to explain what Bruce Springsteen is saying. ^^
  
  DEVILS AND DUST
  
  I got my finger on the trigger
  But I don't know who to trust
  When I look into your eyes
  There's just devils and dust
  We're a long, long way from home, Bobbie
  Home's a long, long way from us
  I feel a dirty wind blowing
  Devils and dust
  
  I got God on my side
  And I'm just trying to survive
  What if what you do to survive
  Kills the things you love
  Fear's a powerful thing, baby
  It can turn your heart black you can trust
  It'll take your God filled soul
  And fill it with devils and dust
  
  Well I dreamed of you last night
  In a field of blood and stone
  The blood began to dry
  The smell began to rise
  Well I dreamed of you last night, Bobbie
  In a field of mud and bone
  Your blood began to dry
  And the smell began to rise
  
  We've got God on our side
  We're just trying to survive
  What if what you do to survive
  Kills the things you love
  Fear's a powerful thing, baby
  It'll turn your heart black you can trust
  It'll take your God filled soul
  Fill it with devils and dust
  It'll take your God filled soul
  Fill it with devils and dust

  Now every woman and every man
  They wanna take a righteous stand
  Find the love that God wills
  And the faith that He commands
  I've got my finger on the trigger
  And tonight faith just ain't enough
  When I look inside my heart
  There's just devils and dust
  
  Well I've got God on my side
  And I'm just trying to survive
  What if what you do to survive
  Kills the things you love
  Fear's a dangerous thing
  It can turn your heart black you can trust
  It'll take your God filled soul
  Fill it with devils and dust
  Yeah it'll take your God filled soul
  Fill it with devils and dust

  Notes: For the ending, I chose what I think it's the perfect scene to describe this song. We have Ed hitting, and trying to kill, the persons that he loves, as Envy is changing into all his friends, we have all his fears, that in the end kill him.
  For the love/faith part, I chose Rose because she's the one who represents Faith, but still her actions bring the end of Liore and death of 7000 soldiers.
