Empire of Dirt - Code Geass R2 AMV

[SPOILERS FOR SERIES END]

Title: Empire of Dirt
Anime: Code Geass
Song: Hurt (written by Trent Reznor)
Artist: Johnny Cash

I didn't notice until after I'd uploaded the video that I had goofed up one or two parts in it. Goddamn. If you want to see a slightly revised version, here's the HQ download link: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=MFPER8WG


I hurt myself today
To see if I still feel
I focus on the pain
The only thing that's real
The needle tears a hole
The old familiar sting
Try to kill it all away
But I remember everything

What have I become
My sweetest friend
Everyone I know goes away
In the end
And you could have it all
My empire of dirt
I will let you down
I will make you hurt

I wear this crown of thorns
Upon my liar's chair
Full of broken thoughts
I cannot repair
Beneath the stains of time
The feelings disappear
You are someone else
I am still right here

What have I become
My sweetest friend
Everyone I know goes away
In the end
And you could have it all
My empire of dirt
I will let you down
I will make you hurt

If I could start again
A million miles away
I would keep myself
I would find a way.

Still one of my favourie AMV's of all time :D

@blissfulltorment Well, actually, "Hurt" was written by Trent Reznor of Nine Inch Nails, but I prefer the Johnny Cash cover for numerous reasons. But NIN definitely did the song first, and their version has its own merits.

@rini10010 But I prefer Johnny Cash singing *.*

He may have died but he came back to life. He is immortal. C2 died dozens of times in the anime but she still lived.

How to tell if an important character dies for real in code geass: whether or not he's got bags under the eyes. .

Suzaku didn't have bags when Lancelot blew up, so he's still alive.

Nunnally didn't have bags when the Freyja detonated, so she's still alive.

Lelouch had bags when Suzero stabbed him, so he's... yeah...

I <3 this video so much, but I can only watch it like once because it makes me cry like a hormonal teenager at a chick flick.
