A/N: OK, so here's a songfic. Hope you'll like it. It's a song from Muse, who I think are one of the best bands ever. Don't know how will their song work with the story, but I think their style is pretty good for me.
Disclaimer: I don't own the Teen Titans, Muse, and anything else written in this story, except for the story itself.

Sing for Absolution
Raven was walking through the streets. The same streets which only days ago were full of people going to work, home, or just having fun. The sounds of cars were constant, but not irritating. It was a normal day, no worries. Unlike now. The street once full of life is empty, windows broken, smoke rising from the ruins of the buildings. Wrecks of cars litter the surrounding, the wind is blowing dust from the direction of an island. An island in the bay, an island that represented the pillar of hope in the darkest times. But that tower is no more, four of it's inhabitants are dead. And the fifth one? She's now approaching the place where she had lived for many years. The place that held painful memories and a promise of greater pain to come.
Lips are turning blue
A kiss that can't renew
I only dream of you
My beautiful
She had finally arrived at the rubble that once stood high above the ground.The citizens had always thought, that as long as the tower remains and their heroes inside it watch over the town nothing bad can happen. But it happened anyway. The end of the world. Without any warning, any sign of the approaching disaster. In a matter of minutes whole civilizations were destroyed, nations had died, people hunted down by demons. The armies were unable to stop the waves of hellish creatures that had flooded Earth. If there was a God he had abandoned them. And now the dark girl stood silently on the island in front of the ruins. She watched them, maybe hoping that her friends would just arise from them, run to her, hug her. And forgive her. But they would no longer smile, no longer reassure her. She was alone. Alone in a world that was dying, becoming the outpost of Hell. She feels that this is all her fault. She feels remorse. But not because of what happened to the world, but because she had killed even the person who was in love with her. The memory hurts so much.
Tiptoe to your room
A starlight in the gloom
I only dream of you
And you never knew
All the moments she had spent with him are gone forever, lost in the coming age of darkness. There's no way to reverse the process, no hope of changing the past. She falls on her knees, so hard that they start to bleed. But she doesn't feel the pain. At least not the physical one. Her blood below her gets mixed with the ashes. She wishes that she would die as well. But there's no reason to die. It wouldn't change anything. Maybe...maybe she could fight the demons back. She has been fighting her father in her mind for years and knew the strengths and weaknesses of the demons. Demons. She is partly demon as well. Is this what she would want to do? She can't bring back her friends, she can't change her decisions. There's no sense in fighting those that are so much like her. Not even her father could set things right. Not that he would ever consider this, after all it is his kingdom. The kingdom of sorrow, suffering and pain on Earth. He is and forever will be it's ruler. And she is his daughter. She is the reason of this invasion. She is helpless. Raven starts crying, her tears falling at the small puddle of blood under her.
Sing for absolution
I will be singing
And falling from your grace
She no longer has to hold back her emotions. No one's left to get hurt. Black auras form around the rocks and they start exploding around her. She doesn't try to calm down. She doesn't want to. She's crying for the first time in her life, she wants to cry all her pain out of her soul. She's the one who did this! She has destroyed the world! She is a monster! The tears are forming small rivers on her cheeks. She can no longer kneel, she falls even further. Now she's lying on the ground, her fists clenched tightly, her arms folded under her head. It feels like she is being torn apart from the inside. She hopes that she would die like this. It's unbearable.
There's nowhere left to hide
In no one to confide
The truth burns deep inside
And will never die
Lips are turning blue
A kiss that can't renew
I only dream of you
My beautiful
She can't remember how much time she had spent on the island in that position. She has stopped crying hours ago. She had no more strength to cry. But the guilt and the pain have remained. She knew that they would. They will forever haunt her. No matter where she goes she will always be reminded of all the death and misery she had brought to this world. And she will forever know that she had killed her love. He was innocent, he has done her nothing wrong, yet she killed him. And the other Titans as well. Her only friends in the cold world, the only ones who have ever trusted her. They are gone. Gone forever. She is the only one who has remained, a living testament of the horrors witnessed by millions. In time she will be consumed by the grief in her heart. She will become a ruthless killer, bent on slaying everyone. And eventually she will destroy herslef as well. But right now she's broken, her soul filled with self-hatred and sadness. Her name's Raven.
Sing for absolution
I will be singing
And falling from your grace
Sing for absolution
I will be singing
And falling from you grace
Our wrongs remain unrectified
And our souls won't be exhumed.
