Just Overwatch Trash

Reyes: What? That thing is not my son.

Reinhardt: Surely he is! What other living human could stand to be around you?

Genji: I thought he was your kid too, I just thought we weren’t supposed to say anything about it.

Reyes: Oh, for- alright, if you thought that McCree was my kid, raise your hand.

(everyone raises their hand)

Reyes: …Jesse, put your hand down.

McCree: Sorry, Dad. I mean Gabe.

My first overwatch fansong, this one’s about Hanzo Shimada and his feelings surrounding himself and his brother. One of the simplest, most metaphorical and most satisfying (at least for me) songs I’ve ever written. Enjoy :)

A sharpened sword stuck in my side fool to think that I could dig it out with arrows I shot one into God’s left eye and then no more light hit mine as the sun set one last time to the song of the sparrow

A feral beast, more thorn than paw claws the rooster from his nest, for lest he dare to crow I’ll aim again to make God blind lay my pelt upon your shrine, as the sun sets one last time to the cry of the wolf and the song of the sparrow

the dream of light; a baited cage to trap me where it waits, in its glare, if dare I go but to outrun that horizon would take stronger legs and lungs and wings, and I have none since last I saw the setting sun and sung the song of the sparrow

And here again, that stubborn flame I am immolate with sorrow, his forgiveness is my pyre and he stokes a fire that burns like shame and he calls himself your name says the sun will set the same and sings the song of the sparrow

so what will I when dawn arrives? Guide the hand of blinded god, or guard the hen, a loyal hound? Perhaps a breath, a chance to fly see the sun rise in your sky feel the warmth and hear the sound…

Hey there, cowboy.
