We Will Not Go Quietly
The only people that you find are gonna slay us
I'd really love to hear the sound of your voice
When you're screaming their name, when you're screaming their name
The female flicked an ear, not noticing the Risen Empire until he was there clearing his throat. The girl flinched a bit, but when she looked upon the man her gaze had hardened once more, her raised fur the only sign that she’d surely been caught off guard. For a long moment she just glared him at him, her blue eyes shining with defiance and emotion. There was no doubt that she hated this man… hated his family. This was the one that had taken her father… a good father away from his family… before she even had the chance to say goodbye.
“I should tell you no,” The girl averted her gaze, breathing out slowly. “My family is broken because of you, Emperor, and I’m sure you feel no remorse for it.” Her ears pinned against her skull, though she didn’t move other than that. “I’m sure you think he was a fool… but my father was a brave man. I know he knew he’d lose. He sacrificed himself for his loved ones… to give the rest of the pack a chance of getting away.” She hadn’t had the chance to speak her piece yet, and she figured now was as good a time as any.
“Make no mistake -- I am not your ally. I am no friend. One day you’ll face the consequences of your actions, but, whether from me or another, I can not say.” Philomena closed her eyes, if only to hide the tears she wanted to shed. “...so go ahead and take the time you need. I’m sure you’re keeping me and my brother as prisoners of war anyway, aren’t you?” Philomena opened her eyes again, regaining her composure as she looked upon the man. He was a frightening figure… His whole family were like a pack of nightmares that had crawled out of the deepest darkest depths of Hell.
But her father and Uncle had always told her to not be afraid of the dark… and her mother had always promised her that light would come after the night. Even if she was scared… she would do her best to be brave. She’d do everything in her power… to make things right somehow. But if the girl was being honest with herself... she was afraid. Afraid for herself... afraid for her brother... so right now she had to put on a tough face before these monsters.
...because that was all they were.
...right?
Hey! If this is how the world will end
Well you can burn it again
'Cause we will not go quietly
Hey! If this is how the world will end
Well you can tell all your friends
That we will not go quietly
(Not go quietly)
