And now, a song

This is for those brave souls who try desperately not to fight evil with more evil, and still end up damned for their pains.

In the country of the blind,
the one-eyed man is hated for his sight.
In the country of the blind,
the one-eyed man is scorned for being right.
For no-one sees as he does the path they all must tread,
They cannot know the dangers that lie in wait ahead.
In the country of the blind,
the one-eyed man can't always sleep at night.

In the country of the blind,
the one-eyed man must sometimes break the rules.
In the country of the blind,
It's hard to take good care of all your...tools.
They say he plays with people's lives like pieces in a game.
They never see his sorrow, his anger or his shame.
In the country of the blind,
the one-eyed man must learn to suffer fools.

One slender chance for victory, but not if he should tell.
To change the path of prophecy could damn them all to hell.
One slender chance for safety, but only if he'll lie,
And hide the bitter reason for the twinkle in his eye...

In the country of the blind,
the one-eyed man sees only half the end.
In the country of the blind,
they never see on whom they all depend.
As allies fall around him and enemies draw near,
And those who found him laughable now turn to him in fear,
In the country of the blind,
the one-eyed man...could really use a friend.

I'm just saying.

A strange request

Some time back, in someone's LJ, I encountered a link to a wonderful review-by-parody of Kingdom of Heaven, which we saw today (and yes, I fell asleep. It happens). I don't remember who or when or where, and now that axylides has seen the original I would love to show her the review. If anyone reading this knows where to find this piece, could they possibly post a link? Please?
