A question about Monsoon and his theme song <The Stains of Time>
Recently I've been addicted to this song :D I've always like Monsoon also.
But as Monsoon's theme song, do the lyrics of the song really fit Monsoon's character?
Here are the lyrics:

<The Stains of Time>
Wash away the anger...
Here I stand beneath the warm and soothing rain.
The droplets falling gently down on the terrain.
Wash away the sorrow all the stains of time.
But there's no memory it's only dry inside.

In the mud and sinking deeper...
Into a peaceful life.

And it will come like a flood of pain pouring down on me
And it will not let up until the end is here
And it will come through the darkest day in my final hour
And it will never rest until the clouds are clear...

Until it finds my dreams have disappeared...

================================================
"In the mud and sinking deeper into a peaceful life"
Does this mean Monsoon actually yearn for a peaceful life?
While in the game I always feel like he's an antisocialist, a misanthrope; he doesn't really have feelings (cherry blossom is neither beautiful nor ugly, it's just nature running its course), and ignores the value of life (including his own). Before becoming a cyborg, he was the best criminal whose feats easily outrank anybody else's. Such a cold-blooded character, does he really also seek for a peaceful life?

Besides...What does it mean by "Until it finds my dreams have disappeared" ?

:D Anybody has done research on Monsoon?
Help me out! This question has been haunting me for a while...

It's about how he used to have people person hopes and dreams until all the pain of war left them out in the middle of the Sahara to dry into nothing, so he became an anus member.[www.anus.com]

Alos living through having his friends and family genocided didn't help that much either.

So you mean the cruel past has turned him into a cold-blooded killer, but deep inside he still wants a peaceful life?
