Author: frankieskywalker
Genre: songfic
Disclaimer: the song is no bravery by james blunt and the great one owns the charcters. i make nothing from this.
Notes: lyrics are in normal font. can you guess whos thoughts these are?



there are children standing here arms out-stretched to the sky
tears drying on their faces he has been here
brothers lay in shallow graves fathers lost without a trace
a nation blind to their disgrace since he has been here

Oh how the mighty have fallen. You used to fight for justice but now you kill who he tells you to without a second thought about justice, about what we fought for, about who we fought for.

houses burned beyond repair the smell of death is in the air
a woman weeping in despair says he has been here
trace the lighting of the sky it?s another family?s turn to die
a child afraid to even cry out says he has been here

Oh how the mighty have fallen. Do you remember her? She loved you. Even as she lay dying she believed in you. I guess she was wrong you became the very thing we swore to fight. You broke her heart. Do you remember her?

and I see no bravery no bravery in your eyes only sadness and I see no bravery no bravery in your eyes anymore only sadness

Oh how the mighty have fallen. I failed you my friends. I am sorry.

there are children standing here arms out stretched to the sky
but know when I ask the question why he has been here
old men need to except their fate a generation drenched in hate
says he has been here

Oh how the mighty have fallen. I watch over him. He?s becoming a fine man like his father before him. I see so much of you in him but his smile and gentleness are her?s. hopefully that is enough. I wont be able to hide him much longer but until then I will protect him from the monster you?ve become. I will not fail him as I failed you my friend.

and I see no bravery no bravery in your eyes anymore only sadness and I see no bravery no bravery in your eyes anymore and I see no bravery no bravery in your eyes anymore only sadness and I see no bravery no bravery in your eyes only sadness only sadness

Oh how the mighty have fallen and been redeemed. I guess she was right my friend.

Nice post... I am not a big songfic fan, but this reads very well. It reminds me of the Psalms in the Old Testament.
