Heaven bent to take my hand
And lead me through the fire
Be the long awaited answer
To a long and painful fight
Truth be told I've tried my best
But somewhere along the way
I got caught up in all there was to offer
And the cost was so much more than I could bear
Katara stumbled; struggled, panted until her lungs were on fire and ran until her legs ached. But she wasn't faster than him.
She never could be.
(down plunging into darkness black holes nothing)
One hit and down she went.
Though I've tried, I've fallen...
I have sunk so low
I have messed up
Better I should know
So don't come round here
And tell me I told you so...
Iroh watched the whole thing with amusement- the fights, the kisses, the laughs.
And sighed because he knew it couldn't go on for ever.
(a fairytale is a perfect life which is why they are just stories)
All good things had to end sometime.
We all begin with good intent
Love was raw and young
We believed that we could change ourselves
The past could be undone
But we carry on our backs the burden
Time always reveals
The lonely light of morning
The wound that would not heal
It's the bitter taste of losing everything
That I have held so dear.
War had been hard on everyone. The smallest babe to the oldest man had suffered a loss because of the war.
Villages destroyed, homes ruined, families torn apart; hopes dashed and dreams slashed to pieces.
(more fights more confusion more pain save me please)
Fate had her work cut out for her.
I've fallen...
I have sunk so low
I have messed up
Better I should know
So don't come round here
And tell me I told you so...
Heaven bent to take my hand
Nowhere left to turn
I'm lost to those I thought were friends
To everyone I know
Katara ran from the palace; ran hard and long. It didn't matter that there was a baby growing inside her belly, or that the cause of her flight had just been all a misunderstanding just a fight some confusion.
(run run run as fast as you can)
Because it didn't really matter anyway.
Oh, they turned their heads embarrassed
Pretend that they don't see
But it's one missed step
You'll slip before you know it
And there doesn't seem a way to be redeemed
One look back at the Palace was enough to let Katara's world crash down on her, tumbling head over heels into a whirlwind of dispair.
(then comes the hard part: reality setting in)
Katara's heart hardened just a little that day.
Though I've tried, I've fallen...
I have sunk so low
I have messed up
Better I should know
So don't come round here
And tell me I told you so...
Katara held her son close as her husband walked down the iron plank, into the snow and ice. He looked worried and nervous and just a little bit angry and cold all at the same time. But he had something to do, and he would get it done.
"Are... are you alright?"
All he received was a cold, stony glare.
(why are you here what are you doing why)
"Katara, I've made a decision. You clearly weren't happy in the Fire Nation, so I'm going to try living
here for a while."
Sure, Katara thought. Right.
"Because... I do love you. I don't know why you ran away, but I want to be with you... and watch our son
grow up." He hesitated with his words, because what was the right thing to say when
"Really?" came the suspicious reply.
(the hopes and fears of all the years are met on thee tonight)
The soldiers and villagers looked on; a hundred years of hatred and war passing between them.
He's lying he's lying he's got to be lying
Oh I hope she says yes please Agni let her say yes I love her so much please
His answer came in the form of a great sob from Katara as she buried her head in his chest.
So don't come round here
and tell me I told
you so
I'm sorry
So am I
Oh my. :) I am quite proud of this one. By far the longest. It is quite weird, I know- it is a
songfic/drabble/other weird things thrown in. I hope you understand it- but it was meant to be vague.
'Fallen' belongs to Sarah McLachlan. It is a beautiful song and perfect for Avatar, which I do not own.
I hope you get it.
