Listen first. It sets the scene.
Third person.Amanda and her fellows take their helicopters and many cars to the field, bringing as many weapons as possible. They bring futuristic swords, grenades, slingshots with sharp rocks, metallic clubs, guns and bows with arrows. Amanda and her team of rangers get there before the rest of the compound and the kill off all of the warriors who come first. A few of the weak and young have been killed already, but her team stands as strong as possible before the oncoming army.
Jaimie is running as fast as possible and is almost there. She is one of the last people to have left since she had to load up the cars with weaponry, ammo and people. She is running swiftly behind the other men and women in front of her, and soon she hears the sounds of gunshots and swinging swords
No time for rest
No pillow for my head
Nowhere to run from this
No way to forgetAs the men and women approach Amanda and her growing team, many people die. Bodies are piling up everywhere, from both teams.
Around the shadows creep
Like friends they cover me
Just wanna lay me down
And finally try to get some sleepAs Jaimie gets closer, the sounds get louder amd sharper. Her ears ring and almost deafen with very shot.
We carry on through the storm
Tired soldiers in this war
Remember what we're fighting forJaimie can't see what's going on in front of her, but more and more people fall in front of her. Some die immediately, others fall tothe ground in agony before they die.
Meet me on the battlefield
Even on the darkest night
I will be your sword and shield
Your camouflage and you will be mineSoon Amanda is almost the only one on her team left. There are about 30 rangers by her side, but the other teams are still standing strong.
Echoes and the shots ring out
We may be the first to fall
Everything could stay the same
Or we could change it allJaimie is getting closer and closer. She can smell the wet soil as rain starts hammering down in torrents.
Meet me on the battlefield
Amanda can barely see through the heavy rainfall, and she shoots her arrows out in the direction of the sounds. But soon, she can barely hear either.
We're standing face to face with our own human race
We commit the sins again and our sons and daughters pay
Our tainted history, is playing on repeat
But we could change it if we stand up strong and take the leadJaimie is so close now, but she can't see where she is going. She feels a sharp pain in her right shoulder as she feels a metallic arrow pierce through her armour and into her skin.
When I was younger I was named
A generation unafraid
For the heirs to come
Be braveAmanda is shooting in all directions, killing anyone she can. She feels herself being launched backwards as a grenade explodes infront of her, but she jumps to her feet.
And meet me on the battlefield
Even on the darkest night
I will be your sword and shield
Your camouflage and you will be mineJaimie is at the front now, but she is blinded by the rain and the piercing pains in her body. She removes the arrow and feels her blood trickle down.
Echoes and the shots ring out
We may be the first to fall
Everything could stay the same
Or we could change it allAmanda is jumping around lik a gymnast and trying to kill what she can see. There are almost none left on both teams anymore.
Meet me on the battlefield
Jaimie gets hit in the head with a rock and falls backwards, her helmet breaking and falling off.
Meet me on the battelfield
Even on the darkest night
I will be your sword and shield
Your camouflage and you will be mineThe rain clears, and Amanda looks out to see there is only her, and Alice left. But there is another person out there.
Echoes and the shots ring out
We may be the first to fall
Everything could stay the same
Or we could change it allJaimie straightens up and looks out, but stops dead in her tracks... Could it be?
Meet me on the battlefield
Jaimie is standing right in front of Amanda. They look into each other's eyes, looking equally scared.
Meet me on the battlefield
Amanda reaches out and touches Jamie's shoulder, as Jaimie touches the burn marks on her face.
"Amanda?" Jaimie whispers, almost crying.
Amanda nods. "I missed you so much, Jaimie!" She gasps as she begins to sob.
Jaimie catches Amanda's mouth in hers to stop her crying, and it feels as if fireworks explode around them. Finally they break apart.
"I love you more than anything." Jaimie sobs, resting her forehead against Amanda's.
"Me too." She whispers, letting silent tears fall.
Amanda turns to Alice, and she nods, smiling at them.
"Let's bring you two back to the compound." She says.
Jaimie picks Amanda up, ignoring the pain in her shoulder.
Everything is going to be ok.
