Disclaimer: I do not own Code Geass or the song Viva la Vida by Coldplay, but heavily recommend both :D
I used to rule the world.
The world was in my hand, never was I afraid of those around me.
My word was law, the people believed in me for I believed in them.
Yet how is it that now I stand alone, a person without a place in this world.
I roam the streets, hearing laugher and cries of pain. How could I have been so ignorant of the cities I used to own?
Sure, I was never one to look for trouble, it always knocked at my door, and I always fought back and new an opportunity when it made it self present.
I was all a game to me. People were the pieces on a board. I would revel in the fear of the opponent. The game was mine. Until I became what I fought.
I fought for one, and became the saviour of many. The news would broadcast the revolts around the world.
They would cry out for me, pleading with me for help. They too needed to break free.
I had the king in check, in the perfect spot.
Then I forgot variables.
My men, my very own were falling apart.
How could I have forgotten human nature?
I can hear them now.
They search for me.
You there, I command you. Be here for me, fight for me, save me.
No, I ask you, I beg you. Be there not for me, but for those who followed me, for those who now fall apart. These countries that were mine belong again to terror and anarchy.
I know now that you can hear me. I forever knew we were tied in some fashion.
You left because you could see I was falling apart from inside out. You left because you could no longer see the promise that lay underneath. I could not fulfill the contract, and for that I am sorry.
For it was after you left I could see what I was becoming, and it meant I was no longer myself. I tried to move on, but kept second guessing my actions, future and present. It killed me inside trying to figure out where I went wrong. Hours of planning and never paying attention to the state of the world my world lead to my defeat.
An hour ago, I saw you again. Damm witch, you know too much of the future. He stood by you as I used too, so very confident in his purpose, his plans. I am glad you could find one so soon to fill in for me. All I could think was…
For a few months, I ruled the free world. I had proud men at my beck and call. I even had you for a time. I was all powerful. I had the power of kings. And after it all…
You smiled and said goodbye.
Thank you, and I am sorry
For some reason I can't explain.
I know Saint Peter won't call my name.
Never an honest word…
But that was when I ruled the world.
"Goodbye, witch…"
That day a saviour, a messiah did not die…
That day a boy died.
I was heavily inspired by the song Viva La Vida by coldplay, which I can't seem to stop listenign too.
I finished watching Code Geass R2 episode 14 and while it was raw I was overwhelmed with the feeling that Lelouch shall end up very close to something like his father. And like all good Tragic Hero he shall realize his mistakes at the end of his life.
So I hope you all liked it and that youreview it aswell. All comments welcome, just try not to hurt my feelings to much. Thanks Again.
