Song inspired by Evey's feelings for V This is a song written by Valarie on the other board. I thought this song was so beautiful, poignant, and powerful. I asked Valarie if I could post it here and she gave her permission. Her song is copyrighted, so please no stealing.

V
“Something is terribly wrong…”
“Evil strides when good men do nothing…”
I was blind now I can see
All the wrongs inside of me
I turned away from the pain
Now I know “God’s in the rain”
You took me by the hand
And showed me where to stand
I saw what I gave away
And now I’m here to say
Chorus:
I won’t back down again
I know what I’m fighting for
I want to know and feel
And be blinded no more
I know now what is real
…I’m in love with an ideal
I watch and waited silently
Seeing something inside of me
It grew and I began to know
The truth that you show
I don’t want you to die
I’m fighting the urge to cry
Your reasoning
Isn’t good enough for me
Chorus
But what of the flesh
Behind the mask?
Is knowing you’re loved
So hard to grasp?
Come run away with me
We’ll find our own tree
Please…Please…
Chorus (x2)
--- In honor of KaTie

Beauty is just the beginning of a terror we can only just barely endure,
and we admire it so because it calmly disdains to destroy us.
Every angel is terrible. (Rilke's elegy)
well done, Valerie.
