Remember...

Cold winds may chill a fleeting thought, but rooted memories stay warm forever.

Venia ad vitam aeternam

There'll be no grief if you don't blind me

but I'll take your heart, I'm a foolish thief
don't lie, 'cause you can't trick my mind
but if not known I will ask why.

Fortuna exprimitur artibus falsis
et mendacem memorem esse oportet.

I could be your moon, shining in the night
I could be the light, I'll give it as a boon
I could be your earth, steady for to stand on
I could be your find, whatever for you searched.

Adoratio permanebit
quotiens me eges, adero.

I have tried to see infinity in eyes of someone else
but only for myself have I felt the misery
I didn't recognize what has to be
and lived my life in disguise.

Venia ad vitam aeternam
non mibi, non tibi, sed nobis.

I belong to someone that I'm dedicated to
wanting, having, holding is all gone and done
passes in slow motion one thoughtless moment
and lasts forever this blind devotion.

Fortuna mutual coniuncti
Per tota saecula futura.

You'll be mine if you don't blind me
I'll take your heart and I'll give you mine
and I'll strife, for all I'm worth
to love and give eternal life.

Firefly (songtext)

We look up to the sky

fireflies are flying high

like little stars their lights

how it feels so free to fly.

I would like to know

but we are ruled by fears below

there's more than meets the eye

there's more than we deny.

Chorus:

We are told our future, fortune

still we live behind a veil

but I can tell you there can't always be

a happy end to every tale.

We look to the skies

at all the little fireflies

even though reality denies

we can fly...

but still we can't deny

our dreams ar not alive.

Chorus:

We are told our future, fortune

still we live behind a veil

but I can tell you there can't always be

a happy end to every tale.

So all that you can do

is all that you can try

every once in a while set your light on fire

and fly.
