Ascending, not repenting, from a failure mouth is pretending, waiting a million months. Descending, softly landing, her burdened back is bending, feeding a million mouths. I will tell you a secret. We are building an empire. It might claim a few lives... even mine. After conquering Szeged, we stayed in Budapest. And we will get to Berlin, if we finish this journey from within. She was my princess of Nice, I was unworthy of Venice. And we were destined for doom, yet we pulled through. I am standing, notwithstanding. The Salvation job is landing, awaited a million months. Ascending, we are attending my sister's lavish wedding, dreaming of a better life.

Scornful Cry 01:42
They should have warned you. They should have told you there is more to life than this chasing daylight. They knew 過労死 was real. How does that make you feel? Oh, I will let them know with a spectacular throw. So, never ask me why I sometimes scornfully cry. You should have known by now we will get through this. Because we are brave. We are Rain Delay. And we are here to stay.

It's been so long now since we first met, but the time and place I will never forget. And of all the things that seem to be, you find your luck and it disappears. There is so much more of the world to see than Coffee, Tea & Sympathy. And on the coast of the Libyan Sea we have found the place where we need to be. Amor litoral... So, now when everything is alright, why do I feel like I am dying? Now when everything is alright, why do I feel like Ναυάγιο?

Siena 05:39
We spent the end of May in Archangel Gabriel's town. I was in a little haste, trying to get something done. Can't believe my eyes just how those stars at night shine so bright. Can't believe that after all everything will be alright... Then we were awake and still waiting for you. And the end of June, came a little too soon. Can't believe my eyes just how those stars at night shine so bright. Can't believe that after all we will be moving to Provence... We will take her home. With our strength and wisdom we will raise her as heiress of our kingdom. Shine, dear Moon, the win is ours Winged Lion via submission! This time next year we will still be here awake and still waiting for you to fall asleep.

"All fears that outnumbered dunes of endless deserts now seem smaller than the grains that made them. I've earned the rank but defected instead, amused by the crumbling, plagiarized worlds. These oases - green walls are a comforting lie. They won't last forever; it is just a matter of time. I need not fall asleep, for all these dreams of mine are already painted turned gold and Argentine. True anthem is calling to the western red sky. No matter the foe I still hold the line." And when you hear a lark above the Capitol Park, you'll know I'm in that dark wearing the sign of Saint Mark. If you decide to stay by my side, I will protect you when those waves collide. But if you decide to pursue the western red sky, please convey my good-bye to Kim Morning Star. "There's only one thing I can tell you, my dear friend, wherever the winds take me, my heart's still gold and blood-red. Storms have passed, taking light, leaving us in a peaceful night, guided by the Moon and stars. I have wandered way too far. When I land it will start the end of the life that we have dreamt of. I'll reach those shores all on my own."

"Another day – the next page, still in daze – still in a dream. Out of the pipe – my lust for life comes and goes. From above, demanding purity – sobriety, cursing me like a sledge, hammering down at me. Out of the waterpipe I suck my lust for life and all my floating dreams it seems. Up on the gallery, God is shouting down at me something I can not hear. Tears falling from the sky, words from a lullaby, everything beautiful dies. For now, we’re hanging in though we are blessed with sin. You make my tired heart sing. You can be a sunbeam and shine for a while. You can laugh a lot and bring out that smile. For now we’re hanging in even though we’re blessed with sin. You make my tired heart sing. Pain / Scars / Blood / Mind / Fear / Eyes / Wound / Die Bleed / Tears / Hopes / I / Dead / Hate /Years / That can be I don't fear! I’m on a tender trip, slowly I’m losing grip. Madness is in the air, I fear. Stay, you’re my acid-queen. Stay on my faded team. Run through the corridor with me."

Samarcołin 03:12
Cuésta sera a sitadeła xe magica. El vento, caldo e bon, caressa el Adria. Perasto, Cattaro, Castelnòvo, Istria, Dalmaçia... tuti i leoni xe ancora eà. Cuésta sera me ricordo de chei nostri momenti de serenità e me fa ancora tanto mal.

And yes, I know it's daylight, although I am not awake. And yes, I fear the amount of body shots I’m willing to take. And now I know that Winged Lion in me is bleeding. And yes, I know it is winter although it is globally changed. And yes, I fear that we might never ever visit Japan. And now I know that Winged Lion in me is sleeping. And now I know that Winged Lion in me is dreaming. 父 Siena? 僕らをさまよわ How could it be? You shouldn’t be here before 2023. You even sound like her. Yet, we are still not ready for thee. How could it be 娘? How could it be? This season brought us gold. And yes, I know it is winter although it is globally the same. And yes, I hope one day we just might visit Japan. And now I know that Winged Lion in me is breathing. Without you so self-assured I’m no more. I hoped that we’ll both be in the game. May we never change. In winter...
