A/N: IF YOU HAVEN'T READ BRING ME TO LIFE THERE IS NO POINT IN READING THESE SONGFICS! However, if you've got time on your hands and want to read Bring Me To Life just to past the time and so you can understand these songfics, that's fine by me.

Did you hear?! Michael Jackson died! Of a heart attack! So if any of you know Michael Jackson haters, I suggest rifling through their stuff to see if they have a Death Note.

Anyway, Viva La Gloria is in Mello's POV, and is about him wanting to find Near and stuff, and how he wants to tell him why he left him.


Hey Gloria
Are you standing close to the edge?

Near, wherever you are... I will always be close in your mind and in your heart. Even if you are standing close to the edge of despair you will remember me. I am sure of it.

Lookout to the setting sun
The brink of your vision

Just don't wake up too early my darling, even the setting sun can kill you in an instant. You were always cautious though, I trust you wouldn't do that. Even if you wanted to... It wouldn't happen. Because you would remember me.

Eternal youth is
A landscape of the lie

And yet will live it every day. We will never grow old, you will be stuck in the adorable seventeen year old body of yours, as will everyone of us. Our existence is a lie, blood drinkers have no place on this earth. And yet we roam freely about any landscape we choose. I have heard stories of some vampires who have lived well lives in the ice of Antarctica, feeding off the animals that live there. Would that interest you, darling? I'm not quite sure... You could have changed immensely since I left you...

The cracks of my skin can prove
As the years will testify

As the years go on the cracks of our skin smooth as out mortal tissue leaves us. It's been a while now, merely blinks of they eyes for some blood drinkers, but to you this time has counted, have you noticed the cracks of your skin fading Near? I'm sure you have, you were always an observant boy.

Say your prayers and light a fire
We're going to start a war

Remember me Near, I still remember you. I still love you. I'm sorry I never got the chance to tell you why I left you so cruelly... There's been a war going on among our kind. The type of horror I would not wish to tell you. I was being hunted, Near, I was going to be killed by those I am against. I could not burden you any longer by forcing you to keeping moving from country to country. I am relatively young, it would be easy for them to find me. I could not let you watch that happen to me. I'm sorry, but I had to leave...

Your slogans a gun for hire
It's what we waited for

Some of us say that you're mortal ethics and morals are going to be the start of a Revolution for us. They don't know you though, you would not be the type to force war and change upon others. If anything my darling, if this war comes to you I hope you will advocate peace. I am sick of running and fighting.

Hey Gloria,

This is why we're on the edge
The fight of our lives been drawn to
This undying love.

Near, my darling I still love you as much as the day I found you. I will fight to keep you protected, I don't want you drawn into this...


Gloria, Viva La Gloria
You blast your name
In graffiti on the walls

I hope I can still find things that will tell me where you are, I'm looking for you Near.

Falling through broken glass that's
Slashing through your spirit
I can hear it like a jilted crowd

I know I hurt you when I left. It hurt me as well, my darling. I can tell the monotony of your new life will send you into despair. You only have to wait so long though, I will find you.

Gloria, where are you Gloria
You found a home
In all your scars and ammunition

For months and months I have searched for you. I cannot believe it only dawned on me recently where you might be hiding. New Orleans. Your home. Have you found solace and comfort there, my darling? Have you drowned out all your sorrows and faded memories? Have you returned to your family, your friends you once knew? Even if you have, it will never work out. They know you Near, they will noticed what's different about you sooner or later. And when they do, my darling, I know not what will happen.

You made your bed in salad days
Amongst the ruin
Ashes to ashes of our youth

Your childhood is over now, Near. You are on an entirely different plane of thinking and living. The only way to kill you... Is to let you burn in the sunlight until you are nothing but mere ashes. I would never let that happen though.

She smashed her knuckles into winter
As autumn's wind fades into black

You are like the winter in many ways, my darling. So white and pure but full of the cold harsh reality of the world. I wouldn't wonder if you hated me after I left... I wonder what type of reaction you let show...

She is the saint on all the sinners
The one that's fallen through the cracks
So don't put away your burning light

You are the most beautiful and pure of us, my darling Near. All the rest of us are filled with hatred and false love, but mine is true please don't doubt that. That is why they want you in this war, to see everything you know fall apart. They really hate you. So whatever you do Near, stay strong and alive, what they want is to see you whither. Don't let them see that.

Gloria, where are you Gloria
Don't lose your faith
To your lost naivete

Stay strong for me Near, you have to have faith that I am coming for you, darling! Don't believe that just because I left you means I'm gone forever, forever is a meaningless word to all of us. Wherever you are Near, I will find you and keep you safe. But for now you have to protect yourself, even though you don't know of this war, of what you're up against, or that I'm coming for you, you have to stay strong!

Weather the storm and don't look
Back on last November
When your banners were burning down

Don't remember the bad times, Near. Remember all the good times we had together, all the love we had for each other. Remember that and I'm sure you'll be fine.

Gloria, viva la Gloria
Send me your amnesty down
To the broken hearted

I apologize with all my heart and soul for leaving you! Please, Near, I love you. You must forgive me, I can't take being with out you for any longer! It broke my heart to leave you, but it was for your protection and safety. I was doing it for you.

Bring us the season
That we always will remember
Don't let the bonfires go out

Near you're the only one who can turn us around. You alone can stop this war and bring peace to the blood drinkers, you have to do it, or sooner or later all of, including me and you, will be dead. This war is bringing the destruction of our kind, they're burning inside...

So Gloria,
Send out your message of the light
That shadows in the night.

I'm sure it make take some time, I'm sure you will risk a lot to safe us all, and I'm sure you will do it. Once you find out about all of this, you wouldn't just let everyone die, would you? You need to prove to everyone that the old way of thinking is not right. I understand if you do not want to go to such lengths though, you were never one to proclaim your beliefs openly. I will love you no matter what you do, Near.

Gloria, where's your undying love?
Tell me the story of your life

You loved me, and I loved you, and we were happy that way. I want it to be like that again, war reagardless. I want to know everything about you Near, to better understand you. What had your life been like before I found you? Speaking of which, how did you end up starving and homeless? I didn't say much about my past, or the history of us vampires, so maybe, maybe if I find you we could sit down for a couple of nights and just talk? I would like that, but most of all Near, I want to be with you again.


A/N: That was my first hand at a songfic, so tell me how I did!
