"Through Her Eyes" 

She never really had a chance 
On that fateful moonlit night 
Sacrificed without a fight 
A victim of her circumstance..   -  Franz Hopper sending her to Lyoko 

Now that I've become aware 
And I've exposed this tragedy 
A sadness grows inside of me 
It all seems so unfair..    -   Learning her past 

I'm learning all about my life, 
By looking through her eyes... 

Just beyond the churchyard gates 
Where the grass is overgrown 
I saw the writing on her stone 
I felt like I would suffocate..    -   Going to the hermitage 

In loving memory of our child 
So innocent, eyes open wide 
I felt so empty as I cried 
Like part of me had died..    -    Flashbacks 

I'm learning all about my life, 
By looking through her eyes.. 

And as her image wandered through my head 
I wept just like a baby as I lay awake in bed..   -   Aelita's flashbacks of her mother in "Distant Memory"? 

And I know what it's like 
To lose someone you love 
And this felt just the same.. 

She wasn't given any choice 
Desperation stole her voice 
I've been given so much more in life 
I've got a son, I've got a wife..    -  ??? (probably referring to Franz's life here) 

I had to suffer one last time 
To grieve for her and say goodbye 
Relive the anguish of my past 
To find out who I was at last..   -   The end to "The Key" 

The door has opened wide, 
I'm turning with the tide, 
Looking through her eyes...
