Once

Threads of gold began to fade.A pattern shifting, choices made,Your heart, a garden turned to stone,Once blooming roses, now grown alone.My water cannot bring it back to life,I can't force you to avoid the strife.You sail a distant sea,While I watch from beneath this tree,Grief may sting and shadows fall,I understand, though losing all.

Zeu decăzut

Tatăl meu a fost un zeudecăzut, puțind a vin și tutun.
