Lyrics
I never really feel quite right and I don't know why, all I know is something's wrong
Every time I look at you, you seem so alive
Tell me how you do it, walk me through it, I'll follow in every footstep
Maybe on your own you take a cautious step
Till you want to give it up, but all I want is for you to
Shine, shine down on me
Shine on this life that's burnin' out
I say a lot of things sometimes that don't come out right
And I act like I don't know why
I guess a reaction's all I was lookin' for
When you look through me, you really knew me, like no one else ever looked before
Maybe on your own you take a cautious step
Till you want to give it up, but all I want is for you to
Shine, shine down on me
Shine on this life that's burnin' out ( I know , I know, know you got somethin' )
Shine, ( shine it on me ) shine down on me ( I want to feel it)
Shine on this life that's burnin' out
Maybe on your own you take a cautious step
Till you want to give up, but all I want is for you to
Shine, shine down on me ( just show me something )
Shine on this life that's burnin' out ( you give me something that I've never known )
Shine, ( if you could show me the way ) shine down on me ( I want to know what's going on in your life )
Shine on this life that's burnin' out ( don't you know I want you to )
Shine, shine down on me, Shine on this life that's burnin' out
Ending Sequence
The ending starts off with a wooden table that has a glass, with a bottle and most importantly, Alucard's glasses at the side. Then, it cuts off to the Casull, including its magazine. The next scene shows the table again before cutting into Seras Victoria's Harkonnen, including its giant round and a box that says "Harkonnen 30mm Anti Midians Canon". It cuts off to the table, but we're visibly shown to be getting closer and closer to Alucard's glasses. It cuts off to the Jackal before we're shown to a clear view of Alucard's glasses.
The appearance on Alucard's glasses' reflection some times changes, here's the list:
- Alucard's eyes opening (Episode 1, Episode 4, Episode 7, Episode 10, Episode 13)
- Sir Integra smoking (Episode 2, Episode 5, Episode 8, Episode 11)
- Seras Victoria running while holding the Harkonnen on her shoulder (Episode 3, Episode 6, Episode 9, Episode 12)
