    One-Winged Angel (FFVII)

    Estuans interius ira vehementi,
    estuans interius ira vehementi.

    Sephiroth!
    Sephiroth!

    Estuans interius ira vehementi,
    estuans interius ira vehementi.

    Sephiroth!
    Sephiroth!

    Sors immanis
    et inanis.

    Sors immanis
    et inanis

    Estuans interius ira vehementi,
    estuans interius ira vehementi.

    Sephiroth!
    Sephiroth!

    Veni veni venias,
    ne me mori facias
    Veni veni venias,
    ne me mori facias
    Veni veni venias,
    ne me mori facias
    Veni veni venias,
    ne me mori facias

    Veni veni venias, (Gloriosa)
    ne me mori facias (Generosa)
    Veni veni venias, (Gloriosa)
    ne me mori facias (Generosa)
    Veni veni venias, (Gloriosa)
    ne me mori facias (Generosa)
    Veni veni venias, (Gloriosa)

    Liberi Fatali (FFVIII)

    Fithos Lusec Wecos Vinosec

    Fithos Lusec Wecos Vinosec
    Fithos Lusec Wecos Vinosec

    Excitate vos e somno, liberi mei
    Cunae non sunt.
    Excitate vos e somno, liberi fatali
    Somnus non eat.

    Surgite!
    Invenite!
    Veni hortum veritatis,
    Horti verna veritatis.

    Ardente veritate
    Urite mala mundi.
    Ardente veritate
    Incendite tenebras mundi.

    Valete, liberi,
    Diebus fatalibus.

    Fithos Lusec

      TOUCHED BY THE SUN

      If you want to be brave
      And reach for the top of the sky
      And the farthest point on the horizon
      Do you know who you'll meet there
      Great soldiers and seafarers,
      Artists and dreamers
      Who need to be close, close to the light
      They need to be in danger of burning by fire
      And I, I want to get there
      I, I want to be one
      One who is touched by the sun,
      One who is touched by the sun

      Often I want to walk
      The safe side of the street
      And lull myself to sleep
      And dull my pain
      But deep down inside I know
      I've got to learn from the greats,
      Earn my right to be living,
      Let my wings of desire
      Soar over the night
      I need to let them say
      "She must have been mad"
      And I, I want to get there
      I, I want to be one
      One who is touched by the sun,
      One who is touched by the sun

      I've got to learn from the greats,
      Earn my right to be living,
      With every breath that I take,
      Every heartbeat
      And I, I want to get there
      I, I want to be one, One who is touched by the sun,
      One who is touched by the sun.

      NOBODY DOES IT BETTER


      Nobody does it better, makes me feel sad for the rest,
      nobody does it half as good as you, Baby, you're the best.
      I wasn't lookin' but somehow you found me.
      I tried to hide from your love light,
      but like heaven above me, the spy who loved me,
      is keeping all my secrets safe tonight.

      Nobody does it better, sometimes I wish someone could.
      Nobody does it quite the way you do. Did you have to be so good?
      The way that you hold me, whenever you hold me,
      there's some kind of magic inside you,
      that keeps me from runnin', but just keep it comin',
      how'd you learn to do the things you do?

      And nobody does it better, makes me feel sad for the rest.
      Nobody does it half as good as you.
      Baby, baby, baby you're the best!

      • The Red Strokes
        Garth Brooks

        Moonlight on canvas, midnight and wine
        Two shadows starting to softly combine
        The picture they're painting
        Is one of the heart
        And to those who have seen it
        It's a true work of art

        Oh, the red strokes
        Passions uncaged
        Thundering moments of tenderness rage
        Oh, the red strokes
        Tempered and strong (Fearlessly drawn)
        Burning the night like the dawn

        Steam on the window, salt in a kiss
        Two hearts have never pounded like this
        Inspired by a vision
        That they can't command
        Erasing the borders
        With each brush of a hand

        Oh, the red strokes
        Passions uncaged
        Thundering moments of tenderness rage
        Oh, the red strokes
        Tempered and strong (Fearlessly drawn)
        Burning the night like the dawn

        Oh, the blues will be blue and the jealousies green
        But when love picks its shade it demands to be seen

        Oh, the red strokes
        Passions uncaged
        Thundering moments of tenderness rage
        Oh, the red strokes
        Tempered and strong (Fearlessly drawn)
        Burning the night like the dawn

        Oh, the red strokes
        Passions uncaged
        Thundering moments of tenderness rage
        Oh, the red strokes
        Tempered and strong (Fearlessly drawn)
        Burning the night like the dawn

        Steam on the window, salt in a kiss
        Two hearts have never pounded like this




        You Move Me
        Garth Brooks

        This is how it seems to me
        Life is only therapy
        Real expensive
        And no guarantee

        So I lie here on the couch
        With my heart hanging out
        Frozen solid with fear
        Like a rock in the ground

        But you move me
        You give me courage I didn't
        know I had
        You move me on
        I can't go with you
        And stay where I am
        So you move me on

        This is how love was to me
        I could look and not see
        Going through the emotions
        Not knowin' what they mean

        And it scared me so much
        That I just wouldn't budge
        I might have stayed there forever
        If not for your touch

        Oh but you move me
        Out of myself and into the fire
        You move me
        Now I'm burning with love
        And with hope and desire
        How you move me

        You go whistling in the dark
        Making light of it
        Making light of it
        And I follow with my heart
        Laughing all the way

        Oh 'cause you move me
        You get me dancing and you
        make me sing
        You move me
        Now I'm taking delight
        In every little thing
        How you move me
        You're a man- you can be replaced.

        • [b]The Way You Like it by adema[b]

          I?ll get inside you
          I?ll get inside you
          Don?t live in shame
          ?Cause feelings change
          And fame remains
          The reason why you?re gonna wanna take me home tonight
          It?s all the same
          Up in this game
          But people change
          The money claims
          Everyone from everything
          I can?t believe that you would think that **** of me
          I was amazed at the torment that you put me through
          If you could see
          Right through the greed
          And all your needs
          You?d realize that you?re just about as bad as me

          Sometimes I only remember
          The days when I was young
          Nowadays no one remembers when they were young and stupid
          The way you like it
          Come on baby
          Help me someone to confide in
          I?ll get inside you
          Now you?re begging me to stay

          My life has changed
          But **** the fame
          I?ll stay the same
          You can?t complain when you can pay the bills and do your thing
          Appreciate
          Don?t playa hate
          Congratulate
          I miss the pain and the torment that you put me through
          So what?s to fear when everything is crystal clear
          You realize that you should do the things you wanna do
          Don?t give into
          What people say
          Don?t be ashamed
          To separate the feelings on your mind you can?t sedate

          Sometimes I only remember
          The days when I was young
          Nowadays no one remembers when they were young and stupid
          The way you like it
          Come on baby
          Help me someone to confide in
          I?ll get inside you
          Now you?re begging me to stay
          I?ll get inside you
          Now you?re begging me to stay
          I?ll get inside you

          They would always say I?d never be ****
          You would always say I?d never be ****
          But look at me now, look at me now!

          I?ll get inside you
          Now you?re begging me to stay
          I?ll get inside you
          Now you?re begging me to stay
          The way you like it!

          Sometimes I only remember
          The days when I was young
          Nowadays no one remembers when they were young and stupid
          The way you like it
          Come on baby
          Help me someone to confide in
          I?ll get inside you

                Cool, Clear Water

                I want to feel my earth turn over,baby
                In this hardened winter ground
                Feel my earth turn over, darlin'
                Till' I'm rootless and unbound
                I want to feel my body tremble
                When there's no one else around
                Just this cool, clear water runnin'
                In this love that I've found

                Hey baby
                See how it can be
                Every time you reveal yourself to me
                I'll come runnin'

                I want to feel myself go under,baby
                Where the deepest river bleeds
                I want to feel it pull me under,darlin'
                Until it drops me to my knees
                I want to know that I can find you
                When there's no more eyes to see
                In this cool, clear water runnin'
                You'll come runnin' to me

                hey baby
                All my life I have known there's something more
                A love to blind me like the sun
                Deep in dreams, I will wash upon your shore
                Now I know that you're the one

                When I feel my baby callin'
                It's like a whisperin And when the softest rain is fallin', darlin'
                I will crumble in your hand
                And when all that's left is wonder
                And no need to understand
                Well this cool, clear water runnin'
                Will be all that I am...

                    I never read it in a book
                    I never saw it on a show
                    but I heard it in the alley

                    if you want to get to heaven
                    you got to raise a little hell

                    I never felt it in my feet
                    I never felt it in my soul
                    but I heard it the alley

                    if you want to know a secret
                    you got to promise not to tell

                    now I got it on the run
                    if you want to see an angel
                    you got to find it where it fell
                    if you want to get to heaven

                    What's Happened Along In My Life


                    I've been sittin' today, looking out over my land
                    a home of my own, I'm so lucky for all that I have
                    if ev'ry one I knew, could feel the way I do...

                    I'm so amazed at what's happened along in my life
                    I don't deserve all the right turns along the way
                    if ev'ry one could see, the smile you've put on me...

                    I'm so amazed you just happened along in my life
                    I really like the way it feels with you
                    and I really think our love will slide on through

                      Searching My Soul

                      I've been down this road walkin' the line
                      That's painted by pride
                      And I have made mistakes in my life

                      To find my way back home

                      One by one, the chains around me unwind
                      Every day now I feel that I can leave those years behind

                      Oh, I've been thinking of you for a long time
                      There's a side of my life where I've been blind and so...

                      Baby I been holding back now my whole life

                      I've been searchin' my soul tonight

                      Tell Him

                      I know something about love
                      You've gotta want it bad
                      If that guy's got into your blood
                      Go out and get him

                      If you want him to be the very part of you
                      That makes you want to breathe
                      Here's the thing to do
                      Tell him that you're never gonna leave him
                      Tell him that you're always gonna love him
                      Tell him, tell him, tell him, tell him right now

                      I know something about love
                      You gotta show him it and make him
                      See that moon up above
                      Reach out and get it

                      If you want him to
                      Make your heart sing out
                      And if you want him to
                      Only think of you

                      Tell him that you're never gonna leave him
                      Tell him that you're always gonna love him
                      Tell him, tell him, tell him, tell him right now

                      Ever since the world began it's been that way
                      For woman and man were created
                      To make love their destiny
                      Then why should true love be so complicated? Oh

                      I know something about love
                      You gotta take it and
                      Show him what the world is made of
                      One kiss will prove it

                      If you want him to be
                      Always by your side
                      Take his hand tonight
                      Swallow your foolish pride and
                      Tell him that you're never gonna leave him
                      Tell him that you're always gonna love him
                      Tell him, tell him, tell him, tell him right now


                      Someone You Use

                      Just a shoulder to cry on
                      That's all I've been to you
                      Just someone to rely on
                      When your world is empty and blue

                      I'm just someone you call dear
                      Anytime you choose
                      I'm someone you run to
                      Someone you use

                      I'm just someone to talk to
                      And that's all I'll ever be
                      Just a clown you can laugh with
                      Someone to treat as you need

                      I'm just a fool you can love on
                      Any time you choose
                      I'm just someone you run to
                      Someone you use

                      I'm just someone you run to
                      I'm just someone you use
                      Don't you know when you need me
                      My little heart just can't refuse

                      I'm just someone who loves you, baby
                      I can't win and I can't lose
                      I'm just someone you run to
                      I'm just someone you use
                      "Love the earth and sun and animals, despise riches, give alms to every one that asks, stand up for the stupid and crazy, devote your income and labor to others, hate tyrants, argue not concerning God, have patience and indulgence toward the people, take off your hat to nothing known or unknown . . . reexamine all you have been told at school or church or in any book, dismiss whatever insults your own soul, and your very flesh shall be a great poem and have the richest fluency" - Walt Whitman

                        There's so many things
                        I didn't say
                        And even though
                        It may be too late
                        I want you to know
                        I still love you so
                        Every car I meet
                        Looks like your car
                        Every movie I see
                        You play the leading part
                        You're on my mind
                        Can't leave you behind

                        When I close my eyes
                        You're all I see
                        In the dark of night
                        You're in my dreams
                        Throughout the day
                        You're easy to find
                        You're always there
                        When I close my eyes

                        In my mind I know
                        You're far away
                        But here in my heart
                        Nothing has changed
                        I'm still holdin' you
                        Like I used to
                        On a busy street
                        In a crowded room
                        Wherever I go
                        It's just me and you
                        Together again
                        Girl it never ends

                        When I close my eyes
                        You're all I see
                        In the dark of night
                        You're in my dreams
                        Throughout the day
                        You're easy to find
                        You're always there
                        When I close my eyes

                        One Day Closer To You
                        by Carolyn Dawn Johnson

                        My married friends keep asking
                        When I'll settle down.
                        They tell me time is passing
                        And there's not too many good ones still around
                        I tell them I am not afraid to be alone
                        And there's no need to rush
                        Into something wrong.

                        So I'm not gonna worry
                        No I'm in no hurry
                        It's in the hands of fate, theres nothing I can do.
                        And it might be tomorrow
                        Or the one that follows
                        I've got the rest of my life to look forward to
                        Cause every day is one day closer to you

                        You might be in Montana, living in the hills
                        Or you might be in Virginia, working in the mill
                        All I know is that I haven't found you yet
                        And who knows
                        Maybe we've already met

                        So I'm not gonna worry
                        No I'm in no hurry
                        It's in the hands of fate, theres nothing I can do.
                        And it might be tomorrow
                        Or the one that follows
                        I've got the rest of my life to look forward to
                        Cause every day is one day closer to you

                        Oh everyday I pray that God will keep you safe.
                        Cause I know you're out there somewhere.

                        So I'm not gonna worry
                        No I'm in no hurry
                        It's in the hands of fate, theres nothing I can do.
                        And it might be tomorrow
                        Or the one that follows
                        I've got the rest of my life to look forward to
                        Cause every day is one day closer yeah

                          Simple Minds

                          Won't you come see about me
                          I'll be alone, dancing --- you know it will be me
                          Tell me your troubles and doubts
                          Giving me everything inside and out
                          Love's strange --- so real in the dark
                          Think of the tender things
                          That we were working on
                          Slow change may pull us apart
                          When the light gets into your heart, Baby

                          Don't you forget about me
                          Don't, don't, don't, don't
                          Don't you forget about me
                          Will you stand above me
                          Look my way, never love me
                          Rain keeps falling
                          Rain keeps falling
                          Down, down, down
                          Will you recognize me
                          Call my name
                          Gonna walk on fire
                          Rain keeps falling
                          Rain keeps falling
                          Down, down, down

                          Don't you try and pretend
                          It's my beginning
                          We'll win in the end
                          I won't harm you
                          Or touch your defences
                          Vanity, insecurity

                          Don't you forget about me
                          I'll be alone, dancing --- you know it, Baby
                          Going to take you apart
                          I'll build us back together a heart, Baby
                          Don't you forget about me
                          Don't, don't, don't, don't
                          Don't you forget about me

                          As you walk on by
                          Will you call my name
                          As you walk on by
                          Will you call my name
                          When you walk away

                          Oh, will you walk away
                          Will walk away
                          Oh, call my name
                          Will you call my name
                          Life is not measured by the number of breaths you take, but by the moments that take your breath away.

                            Barenaked Ladies


                            Everywhere I go someone's tryin' to be my girlfriend's best friend
                            I'm tryin' to pretend I'm relaxed but I'm playin' castanets with my knees
                            I try to be cool and give her space
                            But a guy's always there ready to jump right up and take my place
                            Everyone in this room seems to want to make a big fool out of me.

                            Everybody open you're mouth
                            Everybody just say Ahhhhh (Ah Ahh Ahh Ahhhhh)
                            Everything will be all right
                            If you play along

                            Everywhere I go there's someone in a trench coat staring at me
                            When I'm not at home I'm sure someone's rummaging through my trash
                            Whatever could they want from me
                            Is it just a part of a giant government conspiracy?
                            I gotta go see my doctor about this itchy pentagram-shaped rash.

                            Everybody open you're mouth
                            Everybody just say Ahhhhh (Ah Ahh Ahh Ahhhhh)
                            Everything will be all right
                            This won't hurt at all

                            Everybody get in line
                            Everybody turn and cough (cooouuuggghhh)
                            Everything will be all right
                            If you just lay off

                            Dictate a memo to myself
                            Try to find if I'm the only one in complete health
                            Consult contemporaries if there's some to see
                            There really isn't anyone who's in my league

                            Every night at Elaine's someone thinks they have to find beyond me
                            I try to take three deep breaths as I lock and arm my mini-van
                            Everyone says I'm looking great
                            But it's hard to stand-up let alone to try to concentrate
                            I wish that everyone that I knew hadn't sold out to the man

                            Everybody open you're mouth
                            Everybody just say Ahhhhh (Ah Ahh Ahh Ahhhhh)
                            Everything will be all right
                            This won't hurt at all

                            Everybody get in line
                            Everybody turn and cough (cooouuuggghhh)
                            Everything will be all right
                            If you just lay
                            Everything will be all right
                            If you just lay
                            Everything will be all right
                            If you just lay off
                            Today, you are the waves of the Pacific, pushing ever eastward. You are the sequoias rising from the Sierra Nevada, defiant and enduring.

                              HARVEST MOON

                              Come a little bit closer
                              Hear what I have to say
                              Just like children sleepin'
                              We could dream this night away.

                              But there's a full moon risin'
                              Let's go dancin' in the light
                              We know where the music's playin'
                              Let's go out and feel the night.

                              Because I'm still in love with you
                              I want to see you dance again
                              Because I'm still in love with you
                              On this harvest moon.

                              When we were strangers
                              I watched you from afar
                              When we were lovers
                              I loved you with all my heart.

                              But now it's gettin' late
                              And the moon is climbin' high
                              I want to celebrate
                              See it shinin' in your eye.

                              Because I'm still in love with you
                              I want to see you dance again
                              Because I'm still in love with you
                              On this harvest moon.

                              IF I COULD HAVE HER TONIGHT

                              All of a sudden she was on my mind
                              I wasn't ready for her kind
                              And she was taking her time.

                              What if she came to me
                              Would she be kind?
                              And if she stayed with me
                              Do you think that she'd like to do anything
                              I would, or would she leave me?

                              Lately I've found myself losing my mind
                              Knowing how badly I need her
                              It's something hard to find.

                              What if she came to me
                              Would she be kind?
                              And if she stayed with me
                              Do you think that she'd like to do anything
                              I would, or would she leave me?

                              If I could have her tonight
                              Does she want to go?
                              Look at those eyes
                              Does she want it?
                              If I could have her tonight

                              If I could have her tonight
                              If I could have her tonight.

                              I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR YOU

                              I've been looking for a woman to save my life
                              Not to beg or to borrow
                              A woman with the feeling of losing once or twice
                              Who knows how could it be tomorrow?

                              I've been waiting for you
                              And you've been coming to me
                              For such a long time now
                              Such a long time now.

                              I've been waiting for you
                              And you've been coming to me
                              For such a long time now
                              Such a long time now.

                              WINTERLONG

                              I waited for you, Winterlong
                              You seem to be where I belong.
                              It's all illusion anyway.

                              If things should ever turn out wrong
                              And all the love we have is gone,
                              It won't be easy on that day.

                              Waiting to follow
                              Through the dreamlight of your way
                              Is not so easy for me now.

                              Half the time has passed away
                              Things we thought of yesterday
                              Come back now, come back now.

                              Waiting to follow
                              Through the dreamlight of your way
                              Is not so easy for me now.

                              Half the time has passed away
                              Things we thought of yesterday
                              Come back now, come back now.

                              I waited for you Winterlong
                              You seem to be where I belong.
