Tristesse
By SMYGO4EVA
They
remember the promise
A former Britannian prince
An immortal,
mysterious witch
The contract is very much alive
And very dead
indeed
A haven for all of humankind
A dream realized and
brought
Hell on Earth was there
Heaven is only a lingering
thought
To them, the contract is a curse
A mixed blessing, if
you will
People obeyed the prince
Never refusing him, never
doubting
Only through manipulation
Was there any progress
In
the plan to liberate Area 11
Christening the name Japan
Born
again from the chains of Britannia
The blood that has spilled
The
endless lifelines
Hearts torn in half
Souls shattered and
stolen
They remember the promise
They remember very
well
Lelouch Vi Britannia
C.C.
The graves are unmarked
They are now a memory
Who once knew them are no more
There
is a Heaven for them
May they rest in peace, dear lovers
And
may they begin again
Free from the everlasting sadness
And the
tears they left behind
