Blue blood bleeds Red
Mystery Girl

The forest fades like a mist

But you will not stop, son

I’m falling down the mountain
Courage can you save me?
My world's turned upside down
Inner strength to my rescue

All in forbidding black uniforms

Snowing again, this is unbelievable
When is it going to end
This winter of so much discontent
What happened to the warming trend
