    When I disagree there is nothing more that can be said than thats the way it goes and sorry for your luck please try again
    Thats what brings me here today in front of the Gods that may one day hear the things I keep to myself in vain
    A weary month I spent in the line to get to where I am today, a number without a numeral, a name without letters, a face without eyes
    And for the first time in a long time; the first chance in a long drought; the first snow in a long summer; I finally enter without disguise

    This is a calling to all of those who see me today
    I live my life hoping I won't have all that much to repay
    You give me gifts and I have to take them
    You say I better enjoy and to someone else you say "if he dont then I'll make him"
    And we all smile pretending there's no tension around
    As a pool of sweat shows my reflection on the ground
    These times of love, hatred, jealousy have an end thats not very near
    And until that time all the the things we envy will not disappear
    Give me today the strength I never had
    For the time I am given has no end in sight
    And I know wrong from wrong and right from right
    But when you frown you're happy and when you smile you're sad​
