Origin: Dream Theater - Hollow Tears
Types: Filk
My take on Yuki's feelings for Piro at this moment in the plotline. It's my first filk, and I tried to get that 'sad girl in the snow' feeling. I think its good overall, but try to not to be too harsh if you need be -_-.
Original song: Hollow Years by Dream Theater
Yes, I know, none of you knows the song or heard about Dream Theater. My own fault for hearing all those underground bands ¬_¬ (I swear a meteor will incinerate me alive if someone in this forum knows the song). Well, i provided a midi file for to avoid confusing the 100% of readers who never heard the song. Its about 30kb and i greatly thank Shoka from sparing me the pain of linking it to geocities:

IMPORTANT: The midi is very good, but it does have one problem: the vocal line volume is too low. Very bad considering it is what matters for this filk, and that the rythm of this song is less linear than most ballads. I would recommend putting on head phones and playing the midi on a player that shows elapsed time. Just try to listen to the cello-like sound in the back
I really really wanted to get a better midi, but couldn't find another version, and i haven't figured out how to edit the current file without destroying most of the music. I just hope my lyrics hold up.
Special thanks to Daniel Negrão for the excellent midi and to Shoka for file-hosting, advising, motivating, spell-checking, and almost co-authoring this filk with great ideias. Couldn't have done this without you Shoka
(Yuki's) Silent Tears
[Intro up to 0:32]
Are you kind of man
I hear about?
Who leaves his girlfriend for
An easy out?
I never saw the signs
You never said a word...
I can't stand another day!
Why are your drawings so sad?
Is there a wound to mend?
Let me soothe your aching heart
Please let me understand!
Once my doubts were torn asunder
I knew my heart was loving
Then, sensei, why leave me?
Ignore my pain?
And disappear...
You said you'd be here
But you left me shedding Silent Tears
[Interlude from 1:52 to 2:05]
Am I the kind of girl
You'd care about?
I'll never want another...
I'll never be without!
I'd give you all my heart!
You left me there still...
Don't turn around and walk away
Why are your drawings so sad?
Is there a wound to mend?
Let me soothe your aching heart
Please let me understand!
Once my doubts were torn asunder
I knew my love was growing
But, sensei you ignored me
I understand...
I'll disappear
You don't wish me near
My heart cries in pain of Silent Tears
[Solo from 3:25 to 3:50]
Why was your aura so sad?
In the store we first met?
I could see awe in your eyes
Why don't you understand?
Once the cloud you're hiding under
Is lifted off your shoulders
In your soul, you'll listen
That our love...
Is meant to be
I won't let you leave!
Please, don't let me drown in Silent Tears
Once the cloud you're hiding under...
Once the cloud you're hiding under...
