• Comments: Editing Notes:
  
  This one I came up with when listening to the song while at work. I
  listened to it twice, then the idea of the three Eva pilots and their
  trials came to mind. The song is a very tragic war song, and fits their
  role as tragic heroes of the future, fighting a seemingly invincible enemy.
  
  From that germ of an idea, I selected a number of episodes and End of Evangelion
  to use as footage. Then I listened to the song a number of times more
  to get down exactly how to pace the song and what was needed.
  
  After I finished up the rough cut, I pulled out more footage to enhance
  some of the scenes. At the end, I zoomed in the footage of End of Eva
  to match the Eva Platinum footage, which resulting in the two looking
  the same on the screen.
  
  The end result came out just the way I wanted it to, and really does work well.
  
  Enjoy the video. :)

  Lyrics:
  
  We met as soulmates
  On Parris Island
  
  We left as inmates
  from an asylum
  
  And we were sharp
  as sharp as knives
  and we were so gung-ho to lay down our lives.
  
  We came in spastic
  like tameless horses
  We left in plastic
  as numbered corpses
  
  And we learned fast
  to travel light
  our arms were heavy but our bellies were tight
  
  We had no homefront
  we had no soft soap
  
  They sent us Playboy
  they gave us Bob Hope
  
  We dug in deep
  and shot on sight
  and prayed to Jesus Christ with all of our might.
  
  We had no cameras
  to shoot the landscape
  
  We passed the hash pipe
  and played our Doors tapes
  
  And it was dark..
  so dark at night
  and we held onto each other
  like brother to bother
  we promised our mothers we'd write
  
  And we would all go down together
  We said we'd all go down together
  Yes we would all go down together.
  
  Remember Charlie?
  remember Baker?
  they left their childhood
  on every acre
  
  And who was wrong,
  and who was right?
  It didn't matter in the thick of the fight,...
  
  We ... held the day,..
  in the palm of our hands
  
  They ... ruled the night
  And the night, seemed to last as long as
  six weeks
  on Parris Island
  
  We held the coastline
  they held the highland
  
  And they were sharp
  as sharp as knives
  
  They heard the hum of the mortars
  they counted the rotors
  and waited for us to arrive
  
  And we would all go down together
  We said we'd all go down together
  Yes we would all go down together
