Three Evils (Embodied in Love and Shadow) by Coheed and Cambria

Summary:  Break for him here just how much he's worth.
Fandom: BtVS/Angel
Characters/Pairings: Spike, and of course Spuffy, since Spike is a Spuffy shipper.  
Authors Notes/Warnings:  An ode to Hurt/Comfort. So yeah, lots of violence.  To a happy, peppy song about torture.  Yeah, I might be a little insane.  I did cut about a minute off the end of the song, because it failed to fit what I was going for.  If any of you know Coheed, it's incredibly hard to vid because of the whole 'it actually being a sound track to another sci-fi story' thing.  It's always sprinkled with proper nouns and actual references that can't be metaphor...Good thing this song was pretty damned perfect.  At least, most of it.

Three Evils

Across the floor in the hand of where we drove the drill
A cautious ear to the mouth of your confession
Think of all the things we put him through
In the face of his God would he tell the truth?

Still recorded were the words that dribbled out his kiss
When eyes go blind in this man of what could once become
Sever the limbs off his torso in sleep
And burn what remains so the world may now see no longer,
Will we wait for your answers...
Back to the hell where you've come from
Think of all the times you've once had
Write them in a letter that says goodbye

You'll listen to reason while you're face down in the dirt
You'll stomach the hurt and break for him here just how much he's worth

Slowly discarded were the remains of his lonely youth
Among the alley where the dwellers scare to notice
Picture a young boy in pieces and streets with leveled malfunctions
No name to be called redeemer
We'll fix him, restore him
With the love if no other..
Think of all the things you did before
Write them in a letter that says reborn

You'll listen to reason while you're face down in the dirt
You'll stomach the hurt and break for him here just how much he's worth..
