We imagined as a promise, to an angelic hope
Rises in the land know us one better, the history ever bolder...

Proud and seldom in seclusion, with reflections of moments that began
With your neglect oft a praise in heat, that chose suicide for is...
When nightmares make wonder, even you to will survive for the couth...
