Song to a Barricade Friend

by Ithilnen

Poem based on the Les Amis plot-line and the events of 1832, which can probably belong to all of them

Fighting on barricades, my friend,
Promise me now with faithful eyes.
That we'll be standing hand by hand
On a bridge
Over the sunrise.

When these black shadows leave our land,
And songs of the people fill the skies,
Oh, will you wait for me, my friend,
On a bridge
Over the sunrise?

When the flags wave with blue and red,
Blessing the world of the free and wise,
Will you be there with me, my friend,
On a bridge
Over the sunrise?

Lilies will grow from blood and sand
One day when no one falls and dies.
Will it be where we'll meet, my friend,
On a bridge
Over the sunrise?

Even the darkness will reach the end,
And a new Sun from ash will rise...

But will you be there with me, my friend,
Will you permit to hold your hand
On a bridge
Over the sunrise?
