Lani: Okay, here's the next piece for my countdown to November 5th! This is another song, only this time it's from L's perspective to Light. Also! There are spoilers to episode 25 and volume 7, so if you're not there yet, you might not want to read this. And because it's really hard to show separation between each stanza, I've put in little periods to keep them apart.
Disclaimer: I don't (sob) own this (sob) TRAGEDY! Ohba and Obata do.
Immortal Ringing
. . .
Death was far from me
Until the bells began to ring.
Ring, ring, toll for me;
Isn't it lonely?
.
So far, far from me:
Reality.
.
Chorus –
Ring, ring,
Just end it quickly.
Show me
My wicked ending.
I know:
In the rain we stand,
So close
But so far away.
What do you have planned
For me,
My dear, only friend?
.
Abrupt and unseen,
Wasn't your hand; too cowardly,
So you chose instead
To insincerely
.
Smile a farewell;
Smile me dead.
.
Chorus –
Ring, ring,
Just end it quickly.
Show me
My wicked ending.
I know:
In the rain we stand,
So close
But so far away.
What do you have planned
For me,
My dear, only friend?
.
So this is the end?
Be on guard; I will be avenged.
Your lies sicken me;
But I still so need . . .
Your friendship's precious
Just to me.
.
Chorus –
So ring,
Bells keep on tolling;
Ending
Only then with me.
I know:
In the rain we stand,
So close
But so far away.
Now I've felt your plans.
Tell me,
What was my meaning
To you,
My dear, only friend?
