Come waste your millions here
Secretly she sneers
Another corporate show
A guilty conscience grows
I'll feel a guilty conscience grow

She burns like the sun
And I can't look away
And she'll burn our horizons, make no mistake

Come let the truth be shared
No one ever dared
To break these endless lies
Secretly she cries

And I'll hide from the world
Behind a broken frame
And I'll burn forever
I can't face the shame


I made this vid for the Dragon*Con Twilight vidding contest. It was supposed to be a straight-up retelling of the film, and honestly never intended to be an alternative reading. With that in mind, the way the vid ultimately turned out seems very telling about some of the underlying issues in canon.

I could get into more detail, but others have expressed it more succinctly elsewhere, so I'll leave it here.
