Tricks Of Temptation
In the tales of war, Lessons have leant from the spear of fears, Experiences have gathered through blood thirsty tournaments, Never to be unconscious of your back. . On my fighting wing, An axe ready for the taste of blood, With hands of anger, Dangling the sword that knows no truth. . There i remembered how Archilles and Crixus fell, Samson crushed in the rails of Delilah, Ananias and Sapphias soaked in quest for wealth, Esau sold his birthright to Jacob for porriage. . In the midst of the war, Tricks of enemy i couldn't resist, Strength to stand still i lacked, My back i turned, Alas! A wounded warrior i became. . Back to my master the king of all battles, For i've fallen to tricks of temptation, I surrender all to you Lord, Teach me more and i will live to fight through. . FOOTNOTES ARCHILLES- In Greek mythology, Achilles was a Greek hero of the Trojan War and the central character and greatest warrior of Homer's Iliad. CRIXUS- Crixus was a Gallic gladiator and military leader in the Third Servile War between Roman Republic and Slave rebels.

ESAU AND JACOB- The Book of Genesis speaks of the relationship between Jacob and Esau, focusing on Esau 's loss of his birthright to Jacob and the conflict that had spawned between their descendant nations because of Jacob's deception of their aged and blind father, Isaac, in order to receive Esau's birthright/blessing from Isaac. .

Unbreakable heart
Behind your back people are talking Using words that cut you down to size You want to fight back It's building inside you Holding you up Taking you hostage It's worth fighting for They'll try to take your pride Try to take your soul They'll try to take all the control They'll look you in the eyes Fill you full of lies Believe me they're gonna try So when you're feeling crazy And things fall apart Listen to your head Remember who you are You're the one You're the unbreakable heart

Пиріг із медом (UA)
Крокуй до раю, крокуй до мене. Гаряча кава, пиріг із медом. Або якщо забажаєш — ромашковий чай. Приходь до мене. Будь ласка. Приїжджай. Крокуй до двері, а я у чашку відріжу лимона ломтик. На столі — пиріг із медом, а мені найсолодший твій дотик.
