City of Glass ARC contest entry: fanmix
With one day to go I have thrown myself into making a CoA fanmix. Here goes:
1. Riot
If you feel so empty
So used up, so let down
If you feel so angry
So ripped off so stepped on
You're not the only one
Refusing to back down
You're not the only one
So get up
Let's start a riot, a riot
Let's start a riot
Chapter: The Hunter's Moon
Quote:
' The boy himself was bloody-faced but hardly looked like someone who needed saving; he was grinning a grin as dangerous-looking as the broken glass that littered the floor. ’
2. Miracle
I've gone for too long living like I'm not alive
So I'm going to start over tonight
Beginning with you and I
When this memory fades
I'm gonna make sure it's replaced
With chances taken
Hope embraced
I hope I told you
I'm not going
cause I've been waiting for a miracle
And I'm not leaving
I won't let you
Let you give up on a miracle
Cause it might save you
Chapter: City Of Ashes
Quote:
‘ His hand came up to cover hers where it lay on his cheek. “Worth it,’ he said in such a low voice that she wasn’t sure it was what he’d said, after all. ’
3. Time of Dying
On the ground I lay
Motionless in pain
I can see my life flashing before my eyes
Did I fall asleep?
Is this all a dream
Wake me up, I'm living a nightmare
I will not die, I'll wait here for you
I feel alive, when you're beside me
I will not die, I'll wait here for you
In my time of dying
Chapter: The Mortal Sword
Quote:
‘ “S’io credesse che mia risposta fosse,” - “a persona che mai tornasse al monde...” ’
4. Up Against The Wall
It's over
Look out below
And I'm wasted
I still taste it
Yeah it's so hard to let go
So breathe in now
And breathe it out
The forecast
A car crash
It's looking like another...
Breakdown, rebound
This could be my last goodbye
You cross your heart, I hope to die
And I can't deny your eyes
You know I try to read between the lines
I saw a warning sign
And then you threw me up against the wall
Who said that it's better to have loved and lost?
I wish that I had never loved at all
Chapter: The Hostility Of Dreams
Quote:
‘ “I wish I could hate you” ’
5. Build Your Own Disaster
Causes it’s a constant tragedy
Connecting you and I
And I love when I hear you say:
I want to feel alive
I want to be with you one more night
Just you and I
And the city lights
We’ll do it one more time
Except this time we’ll get it right
Chapter: The Hostility Of Dreams
Quote:
‘ Maybe it was true what the Seelie Queen had said, after all: Love made you a liar. ’
6. Anthem Of Our Dying Day
The stars will cry
The blackest tears tonight
And this is the moment that I live for
I can smell the ocean air
And here I am
Pouring my heart onto these rooftops
Just a ghost to the world
That's exactly
Exactly what I need
From up here the city lights burn
Like a thousand miles of fire
And I'm here to sing this anthem
Of our dying day
Chapter: Fearless
Quote:
‘ Day of Wrath, that Day of burning,
Seer and sibyl speak concerning,
All the world to ashes turning. - Abraham Coles ‘
7. Get Out Alive
No time for goodbye he said
As he faded away
Don't put your life in someone's hands
They're bound to steal it away
Don't hide your mistakes
'Cause they'll find you, burn you
Then he said
If you want to get out alive
Hold on for your life
If you want to get out alive
Hold on for your life
Chapter: Dies Irae
Quote:
' "No!" - "I am not like you!" he cried, and drove the strut directly into his father's chest. '
8. It Ends Tonight
The walls start breathing, my mind's unweaving
Maybe its best you leave me alone
A weight is lifted on this evening
I give the final blow
When darkness turns to light
It ends tonight, it ends tonight
Just a little insight won't make this right
It's too late to fight, it ends tonight, it ends tonight
Chapter: Epilogue
Quote:
' It took her a long time to answer, and when she did, her own voice sounded like an echo, coming from very far away. "Yes," - "That's what I wanted." '
I think this song also sums up the whole book really beautifully.
Well this took me FOREVER!!!! But it's done!!! :D!!!!
