Sometimes I doubt the path I chose
Sometimes my dreams feel all on hold
There's no doubt that this will make me strong
Because it's the hardest thing I've ever done

Despite this cruel world
And all my best efforts
toi surprise me with just how perfect toi are

Even with all my flaws
And my bad examples
toi surprise me with
Just how perfect toi are

And when I'm Lost
toi chercher for me
And when I doubt
You're my belief

I'm suppose to be
The stronger one
toi always seem
To prove that theory wrong

Still, I hold my breath each time toi go
Out in the world that's beyond my control
If toi are dreaming
I never want to wake toi up

When I'm all in a spin
Full of cynicism
toi remind me of just how perfect toi are

When I'm at my wit's end
And I'm losing my head
toi remind me of just how lucky I am

Elizabeth's theme song: Elizabeth

posted by DeniseAnne

There's a mystery to what her l’amour can do
And she has a way of taking over toi
She can hold your cœur, coeur with every déplacer she makes
But a single smile is really all it takes

She'll make toi forget the way life used to be
Because once toi let her in, she will take your everything

Cause her name is always Elizabeth
And she'll take your cœur, coeur away and apologize for breaking it
Just the same, l’amour of any other kind
Would simply be a waste of time to me

She will tell me that her loves a jour away
And there's something in her eyes that makes me stay
But her expectations are too great for me
So she'll...

Jane Seymour's theme song: Things are not always how they seem

posted by DeniseAnne

First the Earth was flat
But it fattened up when we didn't fall off
Now we spin laps around the Sun
Oh the gods Lost 2-1
The host of Heaven pointed out to us from lightyears away
We're surrounded par a billion galaxies

Things are not always, things are not always how they seem
Will toi be ready (will toi be ready?)

The interim of life has got toi tiptoed and pinning all your hopes on the haut, retour au début dog of dreams
You're not alone in this
The pollyfilla way looks strong in the weakness of the gaps

Things are not always, things are not always how they seem
They don't turn out always, don't quite turn out always how...

Henry VIII's theme song: What I've done

posted by DeniseAnne

In this farewell
There's no blood
There's no alibi
'Cause I've drawn regret
From the truth
Of a thousand lies

So let mercy come
And wash away
What I've done

I'll face myself
To traverser, croix out what i've become
Erase myself
And let go of what i've done

Put to rest
What toi thought of me
While I clean this slate
With the hands of uncertainty

So let mercy come
And wash away
What I've done

I'll face myself
To traverser, croix out what i've become
Erase myself
And let go of what i've done

For what I've done
I start again
And whatever pain may come
Today this ends
I'm forgiving what I've done

I'll face myself
To traverser, croix out what i've become
Erase myself
And let go of what i've done

What I've done
Forgiving what I've done

Mary's theme song: Listen

posted by DeniseAnne

Listen,
To the song here in my heart
A melody I've start
But can't complete

Listen, to the sound from deep within
It's only beginning
To find release

Oh,
the time has come
for my dreams to be heard
They will not be pushed aside and turned
Into your own
all cause toi won't
Listen

Listen,
I am alone at a crossroads
I'm not at home, in my own home
And I tried and tried
To say whats on my mind
You should have known
Oh,
Now I'm done believing you
You don't know what I'm feeling
I'm plus than what, toi made of me
I followed the voice
you gave to me
But now I gotta find, my own

You should have listened
There is someone here...

Mary's theme song: Wishing on a étoile, étoile, star

posted by DeniseAnne

Ooh
Ooooooh.
Star.
Star.
I'm wishing.
I'm wishing.
On a star.

Chorus:
I'm wishing on a star.
To follow where toi are.
I'm wishing on a dream.
To follow what it mean.
And I'm wishing on the rainbows that I see.
I'm wishing on the people who really dream.
And I'm wishing on tomorrow rains never comes.
And I'm wishing on the other things we never done.

Verse:
I never thought I'd see the time when toi would be.
So far away from home.
So far away from me.
Just think of all the moments that we spent.
I just can't let toi go from me, we were meant.
I didn't mean to hurt you, but I know.
In the game...

Elizabeth's theme song: I will not bow

posted by DeniseAnne

Fall

Now the dark begins to rise
Save your breath, it's far from over
Leave the Lost and dead behind
Now's your chance to run for cover

I don't wanna change the world
I just wanna leave it colder
Light the fuse and burn it up
Take the path that leads to nowhere

All is Lost again
But I'm not giving in

I will not bow
I will not break
I will shut the world away
I will not fall
I will not fade
I will take your breath away

Fall

Watch the end through dying eyes
Now the dark is taking over
Show me where forever dies
Take the fall and run to Heaven

All is Lost again
But I'm not giving in

I will not...

Mary's theme song: Best of me

posted by DeniseAnne

It's so hard to say that I'm sorry
I'll make everything alright
All these things that I've done
What have I become, and where'd I go wrong?
I don't mean to hurt just to put toi first
I won't tell toi lies
I will stand accused
With my hand on my cœur, coeur
I'm just trying to say

I'm sorry
It's all that I can say
You mean so much
And I'd fix all that I've done
If I could start again
I'd throw it all away
To the shadows of regrets
And toi would have the best of me

I know that I can't take back all of the mistakes
But I will try
Although it's not easy
I know toi believe me
Cause I would not lie
Don't...

Letter of Princess Elizabeth to Princess Mary

October 27, [ ? ].

Good Sister, as to hear of your sickness is unpleasant to me, so is it nothing fearful; for that I understand it is your old guest that is wont oft to visit you, whose coming though it be oft, yet is it never welcome, but notwithstanding it is comfortable for that iacula præuisa minus feriunt. And as I do understand your need of Jane Russel's service, so am I sorry that it is par my man's occasion letted, which if I had known afore, I would have caused his will give place to need of her service. For as it is her duty to obey his commandment, so is it his part to attend your...

Letter of Princess Elizabeth to Queen Mary I

Written when the order came that she was to be sent to the Tower, on suspicion that she was implicated par Wyatt's rebellion. Wyatt's correspondence with Elizabeth was seized, and amongst the evidence produced was an alleged copy of a letter written par Elizabeth to Henri II; this was apparently a forgery.

March I6, I554.

If any ever did try this old saying, 'that a king's word was plus than another man's oath,' I most humbly beseech your Majesty to verify it to me, and to remember your last promise and my last demand, that I be not not condemned without answer and due proof, which it seems that...

Mary's theme song: Never go back

posted by DeniseAnne

Everything is so dark
And I know there's something wrong
But I can't turn the light on
In that divisé, split seconde change
When toi knew we couldn't hold on
I realized I'd lived to l’amour toi

Save yourself
Don't look back
Tearing us apart until its all gone
The only world i've ever known
Sleeps beneath the waves
What I remember

I won't give up on toi
I can feel toi in my cœur, coeur
Just montrer me the way
I don't belong here - alone

I can still your face
Where its burned into my mind
I die every time i close my eyes
You're always there

Save yourself
Don't look back
Tearing us apart until its all gone

Anne Boleyn's last letter to Elizabeth

18th May, 1536, Tower of London

From Anne the Quene to Her Grace, Princess Elizabeth Tudor of Wales,

This shall be the last letter I ever write, and I would not see it written to anyone but you, my only daughter. From my window I watch the dusk ebb away, and the sky flare up like a blushing rose; twilight of this new day, my last day, has come.

They will make sure that toi never know me, my Elizabeth, and if they do me, they will see that toi know me as the lewd, traitorous whore your father created and destroyed. Still I urge toi to l’amour him because though the fiery passion with which he once...

Oh, to my dearest ruler and lord
Merciful husband
Noblest of kings...
Your cœur, coeur of or has long since tarnished
In my champers
What will the morning bring?
What it my cœur, coeur that doth betray me
Cause I loved plus than one man?
Is it true your wear a wounded spirit?
Pray let me mend it and make our l’amour anew...
Allow me to be your humble servant
Once again, as before...
Are toi like the others, so quick to judge
And for this the Queen must fall
What is my cœur, coeur that doth betray me
Cause I loved plus than one man?
Truth within the writings of a letter
Signed and sealed poor Catherine Howard's fate...

On Saturday 30th September 1553, at 3 o’clock in the afternoon, Mary I left the Tower of Londres to the sound of pistolets firing and church bells ringing. This was her coronation procession and the suivant jour she would be crowned Queen of England.
The procession leaving the Tower consisted of the Queen’s messengers, trumpeters, esquires of the body, the knights of the bath (including 15 young noblemen who had been knighted that morning), heralds, bannerets, the council, the clergy, the Garter knights, the nobility, foreign ambassadors, merchants, soldiers, knights and then the Queen’s entourage....

Catherine Parr's theme song: Tomorrow

And I wanna believe you,
When toi tell me that it'll be ok,
Ya I try to believe you,
But I don't

When toi say that it's gonna be,
It always turns out to be a different way,
I try to believe you,
Not today, today, today, today, today...

I don't know how to feel,
tomorrow, tomorrow,
I don't know what to say,
tomorrow, tomorrow
Is a different jour

It's always been up to you,
It's turning around,
It's up to me,
I'm gonna do what I have to do,
just do

Gimme a lil time,
Leave me alone a little while,
Maybe it's not too late,
not today, today, today, today, today...

I don't know how to feel,

Letter 5 - July 1527

Henry VIII to Anne Boleyn:

For a present so beautiful that
nothing could be plus so (con-
sidering the whole of it), I thank you
most cordially, not only on account
of the fine diamond and the ship in
which the solitary damsel is tossed
about, but chiefly for the fine inter-
pretation and the too humble sub-
mission which your goodness hath
used towards me in this case; for I
think it would be very difficult for
me to find an occasion to deserve it,
if I were not assisted par your great
humanity and favour, which I have
always sought to seek, and will seek
to preserve par all the kindness in my
power, in which...

Mary's theme song: The change

Thought that I was strong
I know the words I need to say
Frozen in my place
I let the moment slip away

I've been screaming on the inside
And I know toi feel the pain
Can toi hear me?
Can toi hear me?

Oh-woah-oh-woah-oh
Oh-woah-oh-woah-oh

Say its over, yes its over
But I need toi anyway
Say toi l’amour me
But its not enough

Never meant to lie
But I'm not the girl toi think toi know
I know that I am with toi
The plus that I am all alone

I've been screaming on the inside
And I know toi feel the pain
Can toi hear me?
Can toi hear me?

Oh-woah-oh-woah-oh

Mary's theme song: Still waiting

posted by DeniseAnne

So am I still waiting
For this world to stop hating
Can't find a good reason
Can't find hope to believe in

Drop dead
A bullet to my head
Your words are like a gun in hand
You can't change the state of the nation
We just need some motivation

These eyes
Have seen no conviction
Just lies and plus contradiction
So tell me what would toi say
I'd say it's time too late....

So am I still waiting
For this world to stop hating
Can't find a good reason
Can't find hope to believe in

Ignorance
And understanding
We're the first ones to jump in line
Out of step for what we believe in
But who's left to stop...

Axe

posted by WildCherryWolf

Hello all Tudor fans!! I'm écriture some one-shots about all the Tudor methods of execution. They're all going to be kinda gruesome :) So, on with the show!

I looked out into the crowd of folk who wanted to see the death of me. I raised a hand to my neck instinctively. I was pushed vers l'avant, vers l’avant par the jailer, and the axemen beckoned to me with a malicious grin. I tried to retain some of my dignity when I dropped him a or chain. I made a quick speech, before kneeling and laying my head on the block. I could see remnants of blood, I knew I was not the first woman to be executed on this block. I wrapped...
