Love of mine, some day you will die
But I'll be close behind
I'll follow you into the dark

No blinding light or tunnels to gates of white
Just our hands clasped so tight
Waiting for the hint of a spark

If Heaven and Hell decide
That they both are satisfied
Illuminate the NOs on their vacancy signs

If there's no one beside you
When your soul embarks
Then I'll follow you into the dark

In Catholic school as vicious as Roman rule
I got my knuckles bruised by a lady in black
And I held my tongue as she told me
"Son, fear is the heart of love"
So I never went back

If Heaven and Hell decide
That they both are satisfied
Illuminate the NOs on their vacancy signs

If there's no one beside you
When your soul embarks
Then I'll follow you into the dark

You and me have seen everything to see
From Bangkok to Calgary
And the soles of your shoes are all worn down
The time for sleep is now
It's nothing to cry about
'cause we'll hold each other soon
In the blackest of rooms

If Heaven and Hell decide
That they both are satisfied
Illuminate the No's on their vacancy signs

If there's no one beside you
When your soul embarks
Then I'll follow you into the dark
Then I'll follow you into the dark


-- Death Cab For Cutie-I´ll follow you into the dark

Well basically, the song hasn´t much to do with the picture, it just helped me get a grip of it, because it went kinda out of hand...

It all started when I wanted to draw HRE, which turned into Italy cause I thought the expression was too Italy-esque, then I drew HRE next to it (the expression is still off, but what the hell). I drew the hands for practicing reasons (they turned out well, didn´t they?) and, well, when I started to color it I didn´t yet know what exactly to do with the picture. Then "I´ll follow you into the dark" started playing and I think it gave me the idea for the whole <strike>dying</strike> disappearing together scenario... Oh well it´s rather depressing... I blame a fic I read shortly before starting the coloring ^^°

Lots of experimenting, you can easily tell by the face, especially the coloring is slightly different than normally...

Currently reading 'Illuminati'. All the italian makes the Hetalia fangirl inside me go haywire XD

Something about the composition is so horribly WRONG...

Oh HRE, I love you so much ;o;
