O Caminho 04:50
on the road to find my fate i took the long way. i took all the aches. but, in my blood but, in my heart i was shored up from the start. some people wish for cities of gold. some people wish fortunes untold. but, in my mind i wish for a peace. but, in my mind, i wish for a peace. on the road to find my fate i took the long way. i took all the aches. but, in my heart and in my mind i knew well that i'd be just fine. some people wish for cities of gold. some people wish for their names to be known but, in my mind i wish for a peace. but, in my mind, i wish for a peace.

in the regions of the throne in the realms of the Enchantment i chanced it and grasped at that everlasting magic. and i wondered could it save me from temptation and the static from this wicked algorithm from these brujas and their lances. perchance it's been ordered by fate, an open portal but, i am no mortal and i shape the order the brick and mortar(thas me) the love child that grew wild from bliss and disorder and the nights i walked the city all the mornings i cursed returning tell Mama i'm back. tell my Mama i'm back tell Mama i'm back tell my Mama i'm back all the nights i walked this city all the mornings i cursed returning all the nights i walked this city all the mornings i wished i'd died. tell my Mama i'm back tell my Mama i'm back tell Mama i'm back tell my Mama i'm back.
