CHAPTER 3: DID I LIVE IT RIGHT
Authors Note: This chapter, and ONLY this chapter is a songfic to "the day that I die" by Good Charlotte. I LOVE THAT SONG.
One
day I woke up
I woke up knowing
Today is the day
I will
die
The Killing list was passed out to every cell on the eve
of the fifth day. It read...
From Decree Of The Great Lord Slorchian Mangerine ,
Due to over population the following Irkens will be sent off to for execution later today.
Zalor
Zita
Invader Zim
Nik
Lou
Chi
Invader Skoodge
Invader Stink
Zim smiled he knew today was it, the hell was going to be over, and he was moving on.
Cashdogg
was barking
Went to the park and enjoyed it one last time
I
called my mother, told her I loved her
And I begged her not to
cry
He sat in the cell, everyone had seen the list and was ignoring him. As if they were afraid to catch his nonexistent death disease. May sat in the corner crying her eyes out, he walked over to her slowly and put his arm around her, in a loving way.
I
wrote a letter
I said I'd miss her
And I signed that Goodbye
"May," He breathed softly into her ear, "Tell me you love me."
"Zim," May said, "I do."
They
held each other for hours like that remembering there old days at the
orphanage.
Chorus:
You know the happiest day of
my life
I swear the happiest day of my life
Is the day that I
die
Can you feel the cold tonight (the day that I die)
It sets
in, but it's alright (the day that I die)
Darkness falls, I'm
letting go (the day that I die)
All alone but I feel fine (the day
that I die)A
The
Guard arrived with the cup. It was a goblet full of a dark sticky
substance; he offered it out to Zim. Any one else would have believed
this to be a token of friendship, but the other prisoners knew better
than that, it was the execution. Zim took the goblet in his hands and
began to raise it to his lips. He could hear May yelling and crying.
But Liz and Kim held her back; they knew it had to be done.
We
took a drive and we drove thru D.C.
To see the places we lived,
long conversations
We talked of old friends and all the things
that we did
Summer nights
Drunken fights
Mistakes we
made
Did we live it right
Zim paused for a moment,
thinking. How long had he been a mess up, how long had he truly been
a plague on other people. Maybe secretly everyone was glad he was
going, no one was thinking "oh poor Zim, he was such a screw up but
I'll miss him anyway." His whole life had been a lie.
He took the first and last sip.
Chorus:
You know the happiest day of my life
I know the
happiest day of my life
I swear the happiest day of my life
Is
the day that I die
Can you feel the cold tonight (the day that I
die)
It sets in, but it's alright (the day that I die)
Darkness
falls, I'm letting go (the day that I die)
All alone but I feel
fine (the day that I die)
Did
I live it right, I hope I lived it right, Did I live it right? (the
day that I die)
Did I live it right, I hope I lived it right, I
know I lived it right (the day that I die)
Screams filled his ears as he blacked out, all he wanted now was to be thrown into that wheelbarrow with Kiz, where he couldn't be a problem to anyone anymore.
The world faded away.......
