!!!READ THIS FIRST!!!
Ok, I had NO IDEA that so many people had created videos using this song, so if mine happens to resemble anyone's: SORRY, IT WASN'T INTENTIONAL!!!
Please read the lyrics (Lyrics Below) before you watch the AMV, as I tried my best to suit the scenes to the words. Mind you, this song is amazingly suitable for the Code Geass Anime!!
Oh yeah, ignore the subs. I dont have the RAW version
Anyway, this video is supposed to depict Lelouch's "downfall" from being emperor, as well as flashbacks from his pre-emperor, and glory days as king. I think I made him look real evil, though he regrets that he has lost many friends, etc....It also shows a relationship with C.C, and his best friend, Suzaku whom he finally asks to kill him.
This is the first time I've used a full anime to make a video...please comment!!!

I used to rule the world
Seas would rise when I gave the word
Now in the morning I sleep alone
Sweep the streets I used to own
I used to roll the dice
Feel the fear in my enemy's eyes
Listen as the crowd would sing
"Now the old king is dead! Long live the king!"
One minute I held the key
Next the walls were closed on me
And I discovered that my castles stand
Upon pillars of salt and pillars of sand
I hear Jerusalem bells a ringing
Roman Cavalry choirs are singing
Be my mirror, my sword and shield
My missionaries in a foreign field
For some reason I can't explain
Once you go there was never
Never an honest word
And that was when I ruled the world
It was the wicked and wild wind
Blew down the doors to let me in
Shattered windows and the sound of drums
People couldn't believe what I'd become
Revolutionaries wait
For my head on a silver plate
Just a puppet on a lonely string
Oh who would ever want to be king?
I hear Jerusalem bells a ringing
Roman Cavalry choirs are singing
Be my mirror, my sword and shield
My missionaries in a foreign field
For some reason I can't explain
I know Saint Peter won't call my name
Never an honest word
But that was when I ruled the world
I hear Jerusalem bells a ringing
Roman Cavalry choirs are singing
Be my mirror, my sword and shield
My missionaries in a foreign field
For some reason I can't explain
I know Saint Peter won't call my name
Never an honest word
But that was when I ruled the world
Disclaimer: I own neither the anime nor the song but merely the AMV. They belong to their respective producers: Sunrise/Coldplay.
The chessplayer who played both sides of the board. One who knew even a stalemate cannot last forever without everyone losing. In the end the king must be captured.

Great Characters. Epic Story. Intense Battles. Great Music. Superb Animation.
Deep Themes. And Much More.
Code Geass is and will always be (in My mind and heart) ...
One of The GREATEST ANIMES' IN THE HISTORY OF THE WORLD
