Gaeta's Lament

Throughout Guess What's Coming To Dinner, Gaeta sings to distract himself from the pain after his leg is amputated. The song, Gaeta's Lament, serves as a narrative thread connecting the entire episode, not only communicating his character's misery, but weaving together the multiple story arcs.

* Alone she sleeps in the shirt of man
* With my three wishes clutched in her hand
* The first that she be spared the pain
* That comes from a dark and laughing rain
* When she finds love may it always stay true
* This I beg for the second wish I made too
* But wish no more
* My life you can take
* To have her please just one day wake

Gods, I miss this show.

The song's not from Death Note, fans dubbed it over, this is the actual scenes put together for it. The 'jump' is a Cylon Basestar in the middle of the fleet making a faster than light jump without warning. The lady who shouts is hardwired in to serve as the ships 'brain'.

It is not from Death Note.Michael Angeli and ''Bear McCreary'' won't write a song for a cartoon.
