  Yes, it's an Advent Children AMV. To Metallica.
  
  Now that we've gotten that concept out of the way, allow me to continue. I've loved the song, "Unforgiven II" for long time, and have wanted to make a video with it for ages. I could not, however, find a footage source in which the characters really relate to the self-deprecating lyrics in a substantial way. That is, however, until I saw the sequel to Final Fantasy VII, Advent Children. Behind all the snazzy fight scenes, Advent Children was really about Cloud having to make a choice: does he continue to punish himself for his past failures and deny himself any right to happiness in the present, or does he forgive himself enough to embrace the future?
  
  That question is the soul of Advent Children, and attacking that idea is the purpose of this video. Enjoy. ^^
  
  UNFORGIVEN II LYRICS:
  
  Lay beside me, tell me what they've done
  Speak the words I wanna hear, to make my demons run
  The door is locked now, but it's opened if you're true
  If you can understand the me, then I can understand the you
  
  Lay beside me, under wicked sky
  Through black of day, dark of night, we share this pair of lives
  The door cracks open, but there's no sun shining through
  Black heart scarring darker still, but there's no sun shining through
  No, there's no sun shining through
  No, there's no sun shining
  
  [CHORUS:]
  What I've felt, what I've known
  Turn the pages, turn to stone
  Behind the door, should I open it for you?
  
  Yeah
  What I've felt, what I've known
  Sick and tired, I stand alone
  Could you be there, 'cause I'm the one that waits for you
  Or are you unforgiven too?
  
  Come lay beside me, this won't hurt I swear
  She loves me not, she loves me still, but she'll never love again
  She lay beside me, but she'll be there when I'm gone
  Black heart scarring darker still, yet she'll be there when I'm gone
  Yes she'll be there when I'm gone
  Dead sure she'll be there
  
  [CHORUS]
  
  Lay beside me, tell me what I've done
  The door is closed, so are your eyes
  But now I see the sun, now I see the sun
  Yes, now I see it
  
  What I've felt, what I've known
  Turn the pages, turn to stone
  Behind the door, should I open it for you
  
  What I've felt, what I've known
  So sick and tired, I stand alone
  Could you be there, cause I'm the one that waits
  The one that waits for you
  
  Oh, what I've felt, what I've known
  Turn the pages, turn to stone
  Behind the door, should I open it for you
  
  Oh, what I've felt
  Oh, what I've known
  
  I'll take this key
  And I'll bury it in you
  Because you're unforgiven too
  
  Never free
  Never me
  Because you're unforgiven too
