The sarcasm hidden under...

They're trying to decapitate the hood magistrates,
with fabricated reasons for treasons
It's the season that we evaluate and saturate,

It must be hard
To carry it around
That load of hate
Weighing on your heart
A powder keg
Waiting to explode
Hurting others but
Killing your own soul

Though I knew not, and though the silence broke
My spirit, shattered there, but then...

So one day you will see
That all I want for...

He didn't give himself up to fear.
And his voice had a life of its own.
He didn't give himself up for broke.
Just a man who played his guitar.

He said 'I can play the guitar', 'I can...

until he found the supreme joy
of snowboarding, made it an art
in which no one can take a part

Knowing to be with you theres nothing I wouldn't do.

When I someday see your face I'll know I'm finally yours,
The day when we close the distance...

So, how to end this senseless war
You Russians have begun?
No peace again until Ukraine
Has smashed you, every one.

We’ll give them lethal weaponry 
To fight our proxy war.

The Quartermaster’s store.

But you...

Both sweating profusely from the strain
Of climbing the...
