Another begins,
As peace is forced to stand,
So is fight empowered to stand.
Where blood strive against blood,
Where is the love in the blood?

that had a key protected by fear
Hidden in the darkness...

See, I’m depressed,

Stood God’s own groom, within sight,
Vows exchanged in whispers, quiet & tender,
With Devil's daughter, her heart not to surrender.4

His heart like a pure...

Maybe one day I'll meet Him on Jebel Amianin,

To climb to the prime
Level of the care

We disperse and dispense
In the interaction
Whose essence
Consolidates affection

Million hugs showing gladness,
A gift for the hero I will raise,
