In the End

(It starts with)
One thing / I don't know why
It doesn't even matter how hard you try
Keep that in mind / I designed this rhyme
To explain in due time

All I know
time is a valuable thing
Watch it fly by as the pendulum swings
Watch it count down to the end of the day
The clock ticks life away

It's so unreal
Didn't look out below
Watch the time go right out the window
Trying to hold on / but didn't even know
Wasted it all just to
Watch you go

I kept everything inside and even though I tried / it all fell apart
What it meant to me / will eventually / be a memory / of a time when I tried so hard
And got so far
But in the end
It doesn't even matter
I had to fall
To lose it all
But in the end
It doesn't even matter

One thing / I don't know why
It doesn't even matter how hard you try
Keep that in mind / I designed this rhyme
To remind myself how

I tried so hard
In spite of the way you were mocking me
Acting like I was part of your property
Remembering all the times you fought with me

I'm surprised it got so (far)
Things aren't the way they were before
You wouldn't even recognize me anymore
Not that you knew me back then
But it all comes back to me
In the end

You kept everything inside and even though I tried / it all fell apart
What it meant to me / will eventually / be a memory / of a time when I tried so hard
And got so far
But in the end
It doesn't even matter
I had to fall
To lose it all
But in the end
It doesn't even matter

I've put my trust in you
Pushed as far as I can go I've put my trust in you
Pushed as far as I can go
For all this
There's only one thing you should know
I've put my trust in you
Pushed as far as I can go
For all this
There's only one thing you should know

I tried so hard
And got so far
But in the end
It doesn't even matter
I had to fall
To lose it all
But in the end
It doesn't even matter

"Come brother," Hawkfrost meowed to Brambleclaw. "We must put the plan in action." Brambleclaw followed after his brother, feeling a wave of ambition wash over him. As he unsheathed his claws, a new feeling came over him.

Reluctance.

"Here is the plan. You ask Firestar to go on a patrol with you. Alone. Lead him to this spot. I will be waiting here with a few of my warriors. We will ambush him and kill him. Tell the cats back at camp that he was killed by rouges."

"But, what if someone, Squirrelflight, maybe, sees through the lie?" Brambleclaw couldn't help but ask.

"Kill any of Firestar's kin. Squirrelflight, Leafpool, Cloudtail, Sandstorm, kill them all."

Brambleclaw gasped in horror, and before he could stop himself, he leaped at Hawkfrost.

It's so unreal
Didn't look out below
Watch the time go right out the window
Trying to hold on / but didn't even know

"No! I won't kill Squirrelflight!" Brambleclaw yowled as he tussled with Hawkfrost.

"Then you shall die as well!" Hawkfrost dug his claws into Brambleclaw's shoulder

Brambleclaw felt a wave of anger come over him. I'm so sorry, Squirrelflight! I should heave believed you!

I kept everything inside and even though I tried / it all fell apart

Brambleclaw screeched as Hawkfrost bit down on his tail. He raised his claws and brought the down, raking them across Hawkfrost's throat. The younger warrior gasped, and began to flail around.

"You traitor!" Hawkfrost screeched. Brambleclaw stepped back as Hawkfrost's struggles grew weaker and weaker.

"I am no traitor. You are."

I'm surprised it got so (far)
Things aren't the way they were before
You wouldn't even recognize me anymore
Not that you knew me back then

"I trusted you." Brambleclaw meowed as Hawkfrost gave one last breath and died. "But I lo-love Squirrelflight." With that the brown warrior yowled his grief to the sky. Blood ran down the bank and trickled into the river, staining the water with ribbons of red.

I've put my trust in you
Pushed as far as I can go I've put my trust in you
Pushed as far as I can go
For all this
There's only one thing you should know
I've put my trust in you
Pushed as far as I can go

As Brambleclaw padded back to camp, drenched in blood, the words of Leafpool's prophecy rang through his head.

"Blood will spill blood, and the lake will run red."

A/N: Hope u liked it. Yes, that is how I think the blood will spill blood prophecy will be fulfilled.
