I'm not sure that I got the lyrics right. Title is French for "cremate." I think.

I'll see you
Dancing in the rain of descending ash, dancing in your dust
I'll see you"

His third eye isn't the blind one; he wishes she could see what he does. Light, so much light: blinding, stunning, radiant. They kiss, bathed in the soft glow of a holographic computer monitor. Touching, holding, clinging. Hands clasped. Quiet acceptance of their fate. Did they ever believe in it in the first place?

Binary and Kanji - the code falls like rain, but they've already drowned. She's gone, she's gone, oh God, she's gone! Tears dripping in the calm after the storm. He gives his life to metal pieces; they've already claimed hers.

Dancing on ashes, their world collapses.
