The wind plays a haunting tone It tells me that I’ll die all alone Far from my friends A breaths away from where they can no longer defend My footsteps fall to the sound of guns It’s too late to become undone Shiny eyes watch me The little, waiting absentee With ****** wrists wrenched behind my back Standing bound before a man on horseback And a ***** rag covering his eyes The absentees’ about to die Long live France; Long live the future And the flower falls to the shots of the shoo

The Death of the Absentee
The wind plays a haunting tone It tells me that I’ll die all alone Far from my friends A breaths away from where they can no longer defend My footsteps fall to the sound of guns It’s too late to become undone Shiny eyes watch me The little, waiting absentee With ****** wrists wrenched behind my back Standing bound before a man on horseback And a ***** rag covering his eyes The absentees’ about to die Long live France; Long live the future And the flower falls to the shots of the shoo
based off a certain character death in Les Miz. Try and guess which one
