"No matter how much blood is spilled, No matter how many tears are shed, No matter how many hearts are broken, No matter how much time slips away, No matter how much feelings are carried, No matter how... sad it is, I want to be part of the dream of that man."

— Casca, 30 second TV advert.

"You're right, Corkus. It's true. I'd rather fight for my life than live it. When I took my first life, I was still a child without any idea of what I was doing. Yet since that time I have learned nothing more. Only refining the art of slaughter. So that I may live... I take life. But - I was content. No-one... There was... no-one there to lead me... But then, I learned what I needed to grow stronger. My longing would never help me to crush the skulls of my enemies. I became my own master. And then I met him... The man who made me challenge what I held true. And made me need his respect... He possessed nothing. And yet he intended to obtain everything. But — he aspired to reach such great heights, that the thought of losing all of what that promised was unacceptable. That's why he cannot afford to let the weak too close. Yet, recognising his ceaseless ambition, there is no-one in the world I respect more than him. But to be beneath him, serving his dream and admiring him; I can no longer stomach it. I want to be at his side, as an equal, when I have forged something for myself. No more. No more will I be anything less to Griffith than his equal."

— Guts, episode 19, "Seperation"

"That day you left, that's when I knew. The thing I could not stop gazing at and thinking about wasn't Griffith, kneeling in the snow defeated for the first time and devastated by it. It was you, watching you walk away from us and never look back. It gripped me, I couldn't accept what I was feeling, this woman unable to blink, unable to turn away as you disappeared. The life I had led the moment I met Griffith all at once felt betrayed. My life had been an honest one: I had only my pride, and I owe that to Griffith, but... I'm changing. There may be a place for me in this man's soul. Not because of what I may receive, but for something of worth I may have for him."

— Casca, episode 21, "Confession"

Tell Me Why by the Penpals

Feel no shame about shape
Weather changes their phrase
Even mother will show you another way
So put your glasses on
Nothing will be wrong
There's no blame, there's no fame
It's up to you
The first words should be finded
Whatever hold you back
I can, I can get it off

Tell me what, tell me what, tell me what you want
I don't know why, don't know why, don't know why you afraid
Tell me what, tell me what, tell me what you say
I don't know why, don't know why, too late, it's too late

Have no fear for real
It's just a turning wheel
Once you start up there's no other way
Don't put your eyes on boots
Step forward your roots
There's no aid, there's no trade
It belongs to you

Before you miss something given
You should know what's the truth
I can, I can make it out

Tell me what, tell me what, tell me what you want
I don't know why, don't know why, don't know why you afraid
Tell me what, tell me what, tell me what you say
I don't know why, don't know why, too late, it's too late

Before you miss something given
You should know what's the truth
I can, I can make it out

Tell me what, tell me what, tell me what you want
I don't know why, don't know why, don't know why you afraid
Tell me what, tell me what, tell me what you say
I don't know why, don't know why, too late, it's too late
(x2)

Waiting So Long by Silver Fins

Looking back and morning comes
Don't find your face in your glass
Take the moonlight by the tail
It's a rainy sight You're shading
What is that It's just the same
What is trying in your crown
I'm spending in my glass, walking back
So wear my glass You're fading
I'm waiting so long...
I'm waiting so long...
I'm waiting so long...
I'm waiting...

Blowing up The storm's around
Don't turn your face to your back
In a silence Have a better dream
Sing into the wind You're shading
The rainy winds will wash away
All what your want in your crown
There is an end but it's endless
Though anywise we're fading
I'm waiting so long...
I'm waiting so long...
I'm waiting so long...
I'm waiting...

What is that It's just the same
What is trying in your crown
I'm spending in my glass walking back
So wear my glass You're
I'm waiting so long...
I'm waiting so long...
I'm waiting so long...
I'm waiting so long...
I'm waiting so long...
I'm waiting so long...
I'm waiting so long...
I'm waiting...

Romaji

Toki wa kumo o tsuku yoo na nami o tate osou yo

Wasure wa shinai Kimi no koto wa
Kanawanu michi ni Nao hitori tachi

Yuke yo Jouetsu no kage yo kite Michibike

English

Time assaults us with towering waves
I answer to the fading voices trolling the night roads

I will never forget about you
On this road of unfulfillment, I still stand alone

Like a wounded bird, I endure the rain with grace

Awash in the blood of the wounded earth, we sleep
Oh stars, grandly recount the events of this night!

I will never forget about you
I simply exist alone in this freezing night

O unfading voices, revive now to your full strength!

Hai Yai Forces Hai Yai Forces

Listen, o soaring tower of darkness, at which even the wind cries
Shed light on you, wounded and trolling the night roads

I will never forget about you
On this road of unfulfillment, I still walk alone

Go forth! O loquacious shadows, come and guide me!

Hai Yai Forces Hai Yai Forces
