Where can I find all of the poem loveless outside of the game...I got interested and want to read it

[Kawaii Ryûkishi]

What Genesis says is what you get. The real-world Loveless is an album by My Bloody Valentine, and its presence on billboards in FFVII was just a reference to the album. It wasn't until Crisis Core that they decided (unwisely, I'd say) to turn it into an in-universe work.

[Masamunemaster]

not cool..I was hoping to have one

[Relapse]

i found a place that has the entire (well, most of it i hope) loveless acts. here you go...

Act I:

Infinite in mystery is the gift of the goddess
We seek it thus, and take to the sky.
Ripples form on the water's surface
The wandering soul knows no rest.

Act II:

My Friend, your desire
Is the bringer of life, the gift of the goddess.
Legend shall speak of sacrifice at worlds end.
The wind sails over the water's surface
Quietly, but surely...

Act III:

As the war sends the world hurtling towards destruction
The prisoner departs with his newfound love
And embarks on a new journey.

He is guided by hope that the gift will bring bliss
And the oath that he swore to his friends.

Though no oath is shared between the lovers,
In thier hearts they know they will meet again.

Act IV:

There is no hate, only joy
For you are beloved by the goddess.
Hero of the Dawn, Healer of Worlds.

Three friends go into battle
One is captured,
One flies away,
the one that is left becomes a hero.
If we were to enact it,
would I be the one to play the hero,
Or would You?
Indeed
After all, your glory should have been mine.

My Friend, the fates are cruel
There are no dreams, no honour remains.
The arrow has left the bow of the goddess.

My Soul corrupted by vengeance,
Hath endures torment,
To find the end of the journey in my own salvation.
And Your eternal slumber.

Now what i want most...
is the 'Gift of the Goddess'...

Act V:

Dreams of the morrow hath shattered soul
Pride is Lost.
Wings stripped away, the end is nigh
Such is... the fate of a monster.

Even if the morrow is barren of promises,
nothing shall forestall my return.
If this world seeks my destruction...
... It goes with Me

Prologue:

When the war of the beasts brings about the world's end,
The goddess descends from the sky

Wings of light and dark spread afar,
She guides us to bliss, her gift everlasting...

[Masamunemaster]

thanks...I guess thats the best I can get

[FFVIFan]

Actually, if people ever bothered to understand, the LOVELESS poems lead that Genesis was actually living that life. "The war of the beasts" as in when they are degrading and "The gift of the Goddesses" the gift is real and thats the item Genesis uses to turn into a somekind of demon in the final battle.

[leader of mortals]

And the end of the final act shows what genesis's fate was. You didn't add that in there though, but it is said at the end of the game.

[hanawa]

You guys missed out these lines:

Even if the morrow is barren of promises,
nothing shall forestall my return.
If this world seeks my destruction...
... It goes with Me (spoken by Genesis)

These lines are added by the lifestream:

Even if the morrow is barren of promises
Nothing shall forestall my return
To become the dew that quenches the land
To spare the sands, the seas, the skies
I offer thee this silent sacrifice.
