Lyrics
Taking over this town, they should worry,
But these problems aside I think I taught you well.
That we won't run, and we won't run, and we won't run.
That we won't run, and we won't run, and we won't run.

And in the winter night sky ships are sailing,
Looking down on these bright blue city lights.
And they won't wait, and they won't wait, and they won't wait.
We're here to stay, we're here to stay, we're here to stay.

Howling ghosts - they reappear
In mountains that are stacked with fear
But you're a king and I'm a lionheart.
A lionheart.

His crown lit up the way as we moved slowly
Past the wondering eyes of the ones that were left behind.
Though far away, though far away, though far away
We're still the same, we're still the same, we're still the same.

Howling ghosts - they reappear
In mountains that are stacked with fear
But you're a king and I'm a lionheart.
And in the sea that's painted black,
Creatures lurk below the deck
But you're a king and I'm a lionheart.

And as the world comes to an end
I'll be here to hold your hand
'Cause you're my king and I'm your lionheart.
A lionheart. [8x]

Howling ghosts – they reappear
In mountains that are stacked with fear
But you're a king and I'm a lionheart.
And in the sea that's painted black,
Creatures lurk below the deck
But you're a king and I'm a lionheart.
A lionheart. [8x]

MY EMOTIONS. Oh my god, so, mysterious vidder, I have longed for this vid to this song for a long time! And this is even more beautiful and emotional and wonderful than I could have dreamed for. I'm a bit overwhelmed by how great it is and can't manage a coherent comment about all the amazing things you did here right now, but it's really fantastic. Thank you so much. <33333

Oh, wow, this is just *beautiful*. I'm kind of just sitting over here wibbling over King Stacker and Mako the dutiful knight and how much Raleigh respects both of them. This is such a gorgeous vid, and I love what you've done with it.

[delphi]

Beautifully done!

[ladymercury_10]

This is absolutely lovely and your pacing is wonderful.

[ratcreature]

Wow, this was awesome. All the Mako feels!

[pearwaldorf]

Absolutely gorgeous. I am crying. Excellent job.

[digitalmeowmix]

This is the most perfect Mako vid in existence! I literally squealed and went OMG and Awww several times at your choice of clips. All the feels! This song fits Mako and Pacific Rim perfectly and your editing was flawless. THANK YOU FOR THIS AMAZING VID!

[kaydeefalls]

Wow, this is gorgeous.

[schemingreader]

This is lovely work. All the images of Mako swearing fealty to Stacker Pentecost, including and especially the images of the robot with the sword--you picked them out and emphasized them, and juxtaposed them with the actors' expressions. Wonderful.

[cupidsbow]

What a lovely character study.

[cofax7]

oh, that was marvelous!

[cosmic_llin]

I haven't even seen the film and this nearly made me cry!

[leanwellback]

Holy crap, this is beautiful. Just gorgeous, I'm going to watch it a million times.

[purplefringe]

Wow, this gave me feelings about a film that I really don't have that many feelings about! Your editing is beautiful and perfect.

[niyalune]

This is wonderful ! I love it <3

[sasha_feather]

This is really, really beautiful. I love the song and I love your focus on Mako's awesome face.

[heresluck]

OH MY GOD. This vid is gorgeous, both aesthetically and emotionally. I gasped out loud on "his crown lit up," and then the intercutting on "we're still the same" actually made me tear up. I would never have thought of this song for Pacific Rim, but you make it feel obvious and inevitable for Mako and Stacker, the lionheart and her beloved king. I will be rewatching this one a lot.

[vivien]

This was beautifully done and emotionally powerful.

[monkey_pie]

Just beautiful, I really loved everything about this vid.

[chaila]

This is really lovely. Mako's faaaaaaace and I love the focus on her relationship with Stacker as well as Raleigh. <3

[valoise]

Wonderful!

[giandujakiss]

Oh, that was just lovely.

[aris_tgd]

So many Mako and Stacker feelings! ALL THE FEELINGS!
