If I cannot be your Cosette
Let me be your Marianne
Virgin martyrs and wartime comrades
You would not think twice of the sacrifices I make
But maybe as I die
You will hold me on your arms
And comfort me with a charade of love
Can you hear me sing
Singing the songs of angry men
This is the music of a girl
Who never wants to hurt again
Will you weep if I fall?
I dreamed a dream that life was more than this
But no matter
As comrades we will be equal in death
This I swear on the stars.
Inspired by Les Miserables

ReplyDeleteI have looked at this Tumblr slideshow of the ABCs or les As.
The Eponine-Cosette comparison grabbed me immediately.
Very concise and the references are weaved through.
(And the film is a musical Les Mis, isn't it?)
