卐Shattered卐

Yesterday I died; tomorrow's bleeding
Fall into your sunlight
The future's open wide beyond believing
To know why hope dies

Ever since his new ruler, Germany had become cold.

He had become something that you'd never thought you'd see him as.

Monster

That's what they called him.

All because of one man's control over him.

And nothing that Ludwig said could stop Hitler.

Hitler had taken Ludwig, the man you respected, your lover.

You hoped that the allied forces would come soon.

You know they'd have to come soon.

They would have too.

If not... all hope dies.

And losing what was found, a world so hollow
Suspended in a compromise
But the silence of this sound is soon to follow
Somehow sundown

You watched day after day.

The Jews continued to die.

How could he allow this to go on?

Why wasn't he doing something!

Not only this world, but your world they had become hollow.

The sounds of children crying out as they meet their maker.

Parents crying out for the life of their children.

Then, silence soon followed...

And finding answers
Is forgetting all of the questions we call home
Passing the graves of the unknown
As reason clouds my eyes with splendor fading
Illusions of the sunlight

The smell almost killed you.

Watching as German soldiers piled up the dead skeleton like bodies of the Jews.

Ludwig stood next to you.

"It's your job just as much as it is mine!"

He had shouted such words at you in his office later on that day.

You were being pushed over the edge.

This wasn't the Ludwig that you loved anymore...

A reflection of a lie will keep me waiting
With love gone for so long
And this day's ending
Is the proof of time killing all the faith I know
Knowing that faith is all I hold

It was one big lie, all of it.

And you believed it all.

You still loved him, even with everything that's happened.

That continues to happen around you.

You had to continue believing, even if it was hopeless...

You believed that he would return to you.

And I've lost who I am, (I'm waiting)
and I can't understand (and fading)
Why my heart is so broken, (and holding)
rejecting your love, (love) without, (onto these tears)

"You've got to find a way to stop this!"

You shouted standing in the middle of Ludwig's office.

He slammed his hands down on top of his desk.

"I have no control over this!"

You felt the tears roll down your cheeks.

"It is his doing! HE gives me the order and I follow it!"

You took a step forward.

"This isn't you! This isn't the Ludwig that I love!"

Suddenly Ludwig took his arm and knocked the books off of this desk.

He looked at you, those once shinning blue eyes... were now black as ice.

love gone wrong; lifeless words carry on (i am crying)
But I know, all I know is that the end's beginning (I'm dying tonight)
who I am from the start, (I'm waiting)
take me home to my heart (and fading)

You sat on your bed, you cried.

The hateful words echoed through your mind.

How could he say such things to you...

Your heart was beating so fast it made you hurt inside.

You wanted your home back.

You wanted Ludwig back.

Let me go and I will run, (and holding)
I will not be silent, (silent) all this time (onto these tears)
spent in vain; wasted years wasted gain (i am crying)
All is lost but hope remains and this war's not over (i'm dying tonight)

America was closing in on Hitler, they now had him in the heart of Berlin.

It looked as if this were the end for him.

You sat in your office, your eyes red.

The past few months you'd been crying yourself to sleep.

Ludwig had gotten orders to hurry and finish off the Jews.

You wanted no part of it.

Even though the war seemed at a close.

It was really going to continue for many years onward.

You closed your eyes and leaned back in your chair.

And for once, you cursed Ludwig's name.

There's a light, there's a sun (i'm waiting...)
taking all these shattered ones
To the place we belong (i am waiting...)
and his love will conquer all

The war was over, Hitler had killed himself.

Ludwig was finally free from his grasp.

You opened Ludwig's bedroom door and seen him sitting there on his bed.

You walked over towards him and without hesitation wrapped your arms around him.

You buried your face into his back, and begin to cry.

"Ich liebe dich, Ludwig."

You felt Ludwig pull you around the side of him into his chest.

You felt his head lay on yours, his breath hitting your hair.

"Ich liebe dich, [Name]"

You was glad that it was finally over.

Ludwig had come back to you...

Yesterday I died; tomorrow's bleeding
Fall into your sunlight
