Takes a second to say goodbye
Say goodbye, oh, oh, oh
It takes a second to say goodbye
Say goodbye, oh, oh, oh, say bye bye
Where you going to now?
'I'm just going out for a bit,' the Animagus says, reaching for the handle of the door.
'Where're you going?' his lover asks sharply, looking up from the book he'd been reading.
'Out,' the Animagus replies shortly. His lover nods and stands up, places a chaste kiss on his lips and goes into the kitchen to make some tea.
'Bye so,' his lover, the traitor, the spy, the werewolf says.
'Goodbye,' the Animagus murmurs quietly, regretfully.
Lightning flashes across the sky
East to west, do or die
Like a thief in the night
See the world by candlelight
The Animagus is running before the bike even comes to a loud crash on the road. He sees the ruin of the once comfortable house and a large, hulking figure beside it but doesn't yet understand what has happened. And, lain out on the grass, he sees his friend - no, his brother - and his friend's wife. He finds himself trembling violently, but still struggles to realise what must have happened. He turns to the giant.
'What happened?' he asks, his voice shakes uncontrollably.
'You-know-who, he-' the giant is sobbing and is hardly capable of putting the sentence together but the Animagus now suddenly, cruelly, understands what has happened. He stares unseeing at his friend's equally blind eyes and knows what he must do. Lightning flashes across the sky and he nods decisively.
A baby screams into the night.
Fall, rise and...fall, rise and...
The Dark Lord will rise again. His most loyal knows this. She will never abandon him. All others will. But she will never do that.
In an apartment on Time Square
You can assemble them anywhere
Held to ransom, hell to pay
The rat knows he was wrong to do what he did. He knows he should leave this city, go back to where people know him and finally tell the truth. But he also knows that he'll never do that. The rat will go back, and soon. But he will stay in hiding and allow one of his best friends to take his punishment for him. He has no other choice he thinks. And he must stay hidden from the ones he has sold his friends to. For he has hell to pay.
A revolution everyday
USSR, GDR, London, New York, Peking
It's the puppets, it's the puppets
Who pull the strings
And they're doing the atomic bomb
Do they know where the dance comes from
Yes they're doing the atomic bomb
They want you to sing along
The werewolf curses his lover. The Animagus cries out in the cold. His most loyal cackles at the pain she is causing. The rat struggles with his guilt.
Say goodbye, say goodbye
Say goodbye
AN: written for the U2 Challenge, the song is 'Seconds'. This is my first attempt at a songfic too, and I'm not sure it fits all that great since I found it very hard to fit in the political parts in the middle. And just to clarify, 'his lover', the werewolf is Remus, the Animagus is Sirius, his most loyal is Bellatrix and the rat is Peter. Anywho, please tell me what you thought of it :)
