Lyrics
Each step I left behind

Each road you know is mine

Walking on the line ten stories high

Say you'll still be by my side.



If I could take your hand

If you could understand

That I can barely breathe the air is thin

I fear the fall and where we'll land.



We fight every night for something

When the sun sets we're both the same

Half in the shadows

Half burned in flames

We can't look back for nothin'

Take what you need say your goodbyes

I gave you everything

And it's a beautiful crime.



Each breath I left behind

Each breath you take is mine

Walking on the line ten stories high

Fear a fall you're asking why



We're leaving the things we lost

Leaving the ones we've crossed

I have to make an end so we begin

To save my soul at any cost.



We fight every night for something

When the sun sets we're both the same

Half in the shadows

Half burned in flames

We can't look back for nothin'

Take what you need say your goodbyes

I gave you everything.

This darkness is the light.



This darkness is the light.



We fight every night for something

When the sun sets we're both the same

Half in the shadows

Half burned in flames

We can't go back for nothin'

Take what you need say your goodbyes

I gave you everything

And it's a beautiful crime.

Ooh! I love what you did with Sveta and repeated footage.

[cupidsbow]

I wish I knew the source so I could appreciate it even more, but even so this is creepy and gorgeous.

[kiki_miserychic]

Oh, this song is such a good choice. I like how you really went for the character moments and emotions. It's really beautiful.

[no_detective]

What a beautiful song! I love that you focus on the rewriting of fate at the end of a vid that feels so epic and haunting. Gorgeously done.

[echan]

This is so beautiful. My favorite part is the chorus that starts around 2:30 and the long clips after that flow into the musical shift, my poor heart. But that's like saying, "my favorite type of gold" because this is all exquisite.

[jb_slasher]

Oh wow, this vid gave me chills. <3

[bironic]

Ooh, man, well done -- that was hard to watch and impossible to look away from at the same time. Mesmerizing song choice. I haven't seen the source, but is it still possible to say that it feels like you've elevated it here? Because it does.

[aris_tgd]

Oh, this is amazing! These movies are so goddamn stylish and you have totally captured that. Amazing job.

[bingeling]

That was beautiful, I loved the music!

[condnsdmlk]

Thank you! I'm glad you liked it. I really enjoyed vidding the films and I finally got round to reading the books (just so that I didn't miss anything!), so that was an added bonus :)

[condnsdmlk]

Thank you! I'm so glad you enjoyed it, I really enjoyed making this :)

[condnsdmlk]

Yay! I'm so glad you liked the vid (and the song choice). Thank you :D

[condnsdmlk]

Thank you for the lovely comment! I'm so glad you liked the vid :)
<3<3

[condnsdmlk]

:D I'm glad you liked it and thank you! <3

[condnsdmlk]

\o/!! Thank you so much for the lovely comment, I am so glad you liked the vid. 'this is all exquisite' - Very high praise indeed. <3<3

[jb_slasher]

Umm, the signed vid entry is locked? I was hoping for a download. :)

[condnsdmlk]

Thanks for letting me know! I see I gave the wrong link to my signed post. I'll contact the mods about it, but in the meantime, here is correct link: http://condnsdmlk.dreamwidth.org/13040.html

[condnsdmlk]

Thanks so much, I'm glad you enjoyed it :D

[condnsdmlk]

Thanks so much! The films are visually stunning and I had a great time vidding this, glad you liked it :D

[condnsdmlk]

Thank you! I am so glad you found the vid engaging, especially without being familiar with the source. <3<3.

The films can be very silly/cheesy at times, and then go the opposite direction into heart-wrenching seriousness. I decided to go down one route and not vid both aspects, although I imagine fun could be had going the other way!
