I've done 10 of these fucking things.
What is wrong with me.
----
[Background]
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9!
[Tigerstar]
There are ten things you need to know!
[Background]
Number 1!
[Tigerstar]
We rode across the Hudson at dawn,
My friend Thistleclaw signed on as my-
.[Background]
Number 2!
[Tigerstar]
Firestar arrived with his crew,
Graystripe and a doctor that he knew
[Background]
Number 3!
[Tigerstar]
Firestar examined the terrain,
I wish I could tell you what was happening in his brain
This man has poisoned my political pursuits!
[Background]
Most disputes die and no one shoots!
Number 4!
[Tigerstar]
Firestar drew first position,
Looking to the world like a man on a mission
This is a warrior with a marksman's ability,
The doctor turned around so he can have deniability
[Background]
5!
[Tigerstar]
Now, I didn't know this at the time,
But we were near the same spot his daughter died, is that why? (Firestar: Near the same spot my daughter died, is that why?)
(Ok pretend Squirrelflight died after that battle in eclipse)
[Background]
6!
[Tigerstar]
He examined his gun with such rigor,
I watched as he methodically fiddled with the trigger
[Background]
7!
[Tigerstar]
Confession time, here's what I got
My fellow soldiers will tell you I'm an amazing shot
[Background]
Number 8!
[Tigerstar & Firestar]
Your last chance to negotiate,
Send in your seconds,
See if they can set the record straight
[Tigerstar]
They won't teach you this in your classes,
But look it up,
Firestar was wearing his glasses
Why? If not to take deadly aim?
It's him or me, the world will never be the same!
I had only one thought before the slaughter:
This tom will not make an orphan of my children!
(They already are orphaned but whatever)
[Background]
Number 9!
[Tigerstar]
Look him in the eye, aim no higher!
Summon all the courage you require!
Then count!
[Background]
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9
Number 10!
Places, fire!
*gun shot*
[Firestar]
I imagine death so much it feels more like a memory.
Is this where it gets me?
On my feet,
Several feet ahead of me?
I see it coming,
Do I run?
Or fire my gun?
Or let it be?
There is no beat, no melody.
Tigerstar,
My first mentor,
My enemy,
May be the last face I ever see
If I throw away my shot,
Is this how you'll remember me?
What if this bullet is my legacy?
Legacy
What is a legacy?
It's planting seeds in a garden you never get to see
I wrote some notes at the beginning of a song someone will sing for me
ThunderClan, you great unfinished symphony, you sent for me!
You let me make a difference,
A place where even orphan kittypets can leave their fingerprints and rise up
I'm running out of time, I'm running, and my times up, wise up,
Eyes, up
I catch a glimpse of the other side
Hollyleaf leads a soldiers chorus on the other side
My daughter's on the other side!
She's with my mother on the other side!
Bluestar is watching from the other side!
Teach me how to say goodbye!
Rise up, rise up, rise up-
Sandstorm!
My love, take your time,
I'll see you on the other side.
Raise a glass to freedom.
[Background]
He aims his pistol at the sky!
[Onestar]
Wait!
He strikes him right between his ribs.
I walk towards him, but I am ushered away.
They row him back across the Hudson.
I get a drink.
I hear wailing in the streets.
Somebody tells me:
"You'd better hide."
I see Cinderpelt and Sandstorm
Who were both at his side when he died.
Death doesn't discriminate between the sinners and the saints,
It takes, and it takes, and it takes
History obliterates,
Every picture it paints,
It paints me and all my mistakes
When Firestar aimed at the sky,
He may have been the first one to die,
But I'm the one who payed for it
I survived, but I payed for it.
Now I'm the villain in your history.
I was too young and blind to see
I should've known, I should've known
The world was wide enough for both Firestar and me
The world was wide enough for both Firestar and me.

Ok so you may be wondering with that switch between Tigerstar as Burr to Onestar as Burr
Ysee
Onestar didn't kill Firestar in this au thing
Tigerstar did
But Onestar regrets never having the ability to apologize for all the terrible things he did to Firestar after becoming leader
So yea
