Until the End of the World

This is a new Rue/Mytho AU AMV that I came up with. I have noticed the AU videos that the1koolkitty made to Nightwish songs and have decided to take another crack at it, this time with a more intense song than my last one.
Well, The Joshua Tree and Achtung Baby are perhaps 2 of my favorite non-musical theatre albums ever. As great as U2's newer stuff is, some of the best they ever did was when I wasn't born yet or when I was too young to appreciate it at the time. I found in particular that many Achtung Baby songs fit the troubled and often frightening relationship of Rue and Mytho, especially this song. It actually gives hints of the Judas and Jesus encounter, as well as that of a man and a woman. Well Bono (who I consider to be one of the greatest singers/songwriters to ever grace the music industry) is known for putting multiple meanings in his words. I found that many of these words fit with many Rue/Mytho scenes very well.
So the lowdown on this plot is that Mytho and Rue are told to do the bidding of the ravens in order to stay together. The first verse is from Mytho's point of view, talking about his experience with Rue. In the second verse it switches to Rue talking about what she has done to Mytho in order to satisfy the ravens, who told her that it would keep them together. Their actions to each other and to the outside world become more violent as the ravens prepare for the ultimate battle. But Mytho has now become a raven. Rue finally breaks the raven's spell by confessing her true love, but it's too late. It happened mid-flight and Mytho falls to his death. With that, the ravens destroy everything in sight until there is nothing but wasteland. Even the ravens who have long since decayed to bones continue to dance. Rue is the only living person left, and she dances with the many bones to the very end.
Pretty morbid, huh?
Well, my latest AMV is set to "Until the End of the World" by U2. Enjoy!

Lyrics:
Haven't seen you in quite a while
I was down the hold just passing time
Last time we met was a low-lit room
We were as close together as a bride and groom
We ate the food, we drank the wine
Everybody having a good time
Except you
You were talking about the end of the world

I took the money
I spiked your drink
You miss too much these days if you stop to think
You lead me on with those innocent eyes
You know I love the element of surprise
In the garden I was playing the tart
I kissed your lips and broke your heart
You...you were acting like it was the end of the world

In my dream I was drowning my sorrows
But my sorrows, they learned to swim
Surrounding me
Going down on me
Spilling over the brim
Waves of regret and waves of joy
I reached out for the one I tried to destroy
You...you said you'd wait
'til the end of the world
