Lawliet's Lament
There are few who deny
That at what I do I am the best
For my talents are renowned far and wide.
I have three aliases,
Which I use to solve my cases,
And I solve them with the fewest of mistakes.
With the smallest observation,
Made by unblinking eyes,
I can easily detect an indication
Of one's guilt-ridden heart,
Or their unbalanced mind,
And I quickly strike them down with my conviction.
But with every case,
That's been solved through the years,
I've grown so tired of the sound of cheers.
And I, L, Japan's genius,
Need someone to end this restlessness.
Oh there's a heart within these white sleeves
That longs for some reason to beat.
There's something out there I need to find
To appease my too weighted mind.
I'm the bloodhound of Japan,
The world's most wanted man,
And I refuse to go down without a fight.
For a teen in Tokyo
I am the singularly greatest foe
Because I solve each case out of sight.
And since I eat sweets
I have no need for sleep
To solve my multiple cases.
No animal nor man
Can corner criminals like I can
Or capture the guilt on their faces
But who here
Could even comprehend
That an eccentric detective, with a sugar-coated grin,
Could tire of this game?
But then Light came
He gave me my peace
By finding out my name…
Oh there's a heart within these white sleeves
That longs for some reason to beat,
Yet with every breath
I take when he's near
The tolling bells become all that I hear.
...And, on that dark note, HAPPY HALLOWEEN!
