Glass and Gold

[Verse 1] Sa Barangay Danleg naming mahal May isang mutya, kay gandang dangal Liwanag ng buwan sa kanyang mata Bituwin sa gabi, siya'y nagliliwanag [Pre-Chorus] Bawat ngiti niya'y lambing ng hangin Tinig niyang musika, awit ng bituin [Chorus] Oh, Mutya ng Danleg, kay rikit mong tunay Sa iyong pagdampi, lungkot ay lumisan Puso mong dalisay, tulad ng bituin Sa 'yong piling, mundo'y kay ganda rin [Verse 2] Sa bukang-liwayway, siya'y sumasayaw Kasabay ng hangin, may himig na tanaw Duyan ng pag-ibig, sinag ng araw Sa kanyang pagdating, ligaya'y sumasalaw [Bridge] Ikaw ang pangarap ng bawat puso Mutya ng Danleg, aming kayamanang tunay [Chorus] Oh, Mutya ng Danleg, kay rikit mong tunay Sa iyong pagdampi, lungkot ay lumisan Puso mong dalisay, tulad ng bituin Sa 'yong piling, mundo'y kay ganda rin [Outro] Sa Danleg ika’y walang kapantay Mutya naming mahal, hinding-hindi ka malilimutan kailanman.

<ZWROTKA> The crystal beauty of simplicity, Shines troughout my bounded heart, Tied up with ropes of INTENSITY, Streaching between eternal love and craving to die. I can be low & I can be high, My border dance I can't deny, Ridicle sophistication, of exaggeration. <REFREN> Perfectly-ugly truth to reveal Lost and torn but rawly real I can be low & I can be high My border dance I can't deny Ridicle sophistication Of exaggeration <ZWROTKA> They say: "it's way to much, You need to balance out", But that's not a throwable part, I can't just cut it out. Squeezed out my smothered flame But there is no-one else to blame Chained with a pride Binded and tied Die, burn, reborn Brigdes fallen apart <REFREN> Perfectly-ugly truth to reveal Lost and torn but rawly real I can be low & I can be high My border dance I can't deny Ridicle sophistication Of exaggeration <BRIDGE> Please, let me out! There is no way, No path in sight, Lost in the maze. <ZWROTKA> There is no me, in this reality, Miserable human being, completly dissapearing. All those deludions of notions, They are my pleasure and pain. Imaginary things keeping me awake, Sadness and sorrow, that makes me break. Looking desperately for any safe place, Where I can finally pass away.

[Verse] Gió thổi qua ngàn chiều không lời Nhớ mãi ánh mắt giữa dòng đời Trời xanh nay vắng ánh mặt trời Người đi mà lòng này chơi vơi [Verse 2] Ai hứa câu yêu tình mãi lâu Giờ đây như chiếc lá rụng màu Còn đâu hơi ấm cũ thuở đầu Chỉ còn lại giấc mộng mờ sâu [Chorus] Hết thương người có buồn như tôi Đêm dài lạnh lẽo chẳng còn đôi Ký ức như sóng dập dềnh trôi Cạn nhớ rồi em hỡi xa xôi [Bridge] Em từng là tất cả giấc mơ Nhưng giấc mơ giờ đây tan vỡ Người quay đi Chẳng đợi chờ Tình yêu giờ chỉ là cơn mơ [Verse 3] Lặng thầm nhìn bóng dáng xa dần Tựa như một kiếp kiếp phù vân Thương em mà nỗi đau cắn răn Chẳng thể giữ lại được một lần [Chorus] Hết thương người có buồn như tôi Đêm dài lạnh lẽo chẳng còn đôi Ký ức như sóng dập dềnh trôi Cạn nhớ rồi em hỡi xa xôi

[Verse] Nhớ ngày cũ tay trong tay mãi Ngỡ rằng mãi sẽ chẳng rời xa Ánh mắt ấy giờ đây xa lạ Lòng chợt đau cứ mãi xót xa [Verse 2] Gió về rét buốt cả màn đêm Từng kỷ niệm dội mãi trong tim Khi yêu thương hóa thành kỷ niệm Chỉ còn lại lặng im lặng tìm [Chorus] Tình yêu đã phai như mưa rơi ngoài song Nỗi buồn hòa cùng gió cứ quấn mãi lòng Những ngày hạnh phúc giờ như khói phù du Chỉ còn câu hỏi: "Giờ anh Em ở đâu?" [Verse 3] Phố xưa vắng tiếng ai bên nhau Hoa tan tác chẳng còn xanh màu Bước chân này lạc lối về đâu Lòng ngổn ngang như biển sóng sâu [Bridge] Có người bảo thời gian xóa đau Nhưng ký ức mãi mãi chẳng phai màu Hình bóng cũ vang vọng thật lâu Thầm gọi tên trong những giấc mơ sầu [Chorus] Tình yêu đã phai như mưa rơi ngoài song Nỗi buồn hòa cùng gió cứ quấn mãi lòng Những ngày hạnh phúc giờ như khói phù du Chỉ còn câu hỏi: "Giờ anh Em ở đâu?"

The Ballad of Pastor John (A Folk Song of Rise and Ruin) (Verse 1 – Slow & Solemn) Oh, gather ‘round and hear the tale, of Pastor John so bold, A preacher man with silver tongue, who turned his words to gold. He built a flock, he raised a shrine, he swore he’d lead the way, But oh, the sins that hide in light would drag his soul away. (Chorus – Catchy & Haunting) Ohhh, Pastor John, where’d you run? Your kingdom’s dust, your name’s undone. The law came knockin’, the truth came down, Now you're breathin’ deep in a border town. (Verse 2 – Midtempo, Driving Beat) He claimed the Lord had shown him signs, a vision pure and bright, But in the dark, he chased a high, a different kind of light. A sacred jar, a breath so foul, he called it holy grace, And one by one, his faithful bowed to seek that sweet embrace. (Chorus – Repeated, More Energy) Ohhh, Pastor John, where’d you run? Your kingdom’s dust, your name’s undone. The law came knockin’, the truth came down, Now you're breathin’ deep in a border town. (Bridge – Stripped Down, Reflective Tone) They dragged his name through fire and stone, The temple fell, he stood alone. No prayer could save, no gold could buy, So south he fled beneath the sky. (Verse 3 – Final Verse, Slow & Wistful) Now in the heat of Mexico, he sits with jar in hand, A fallen king, a faded man, just sippin’ on the sand. No hymns remain, no flock to kneel, just whispers on the breeze, A preacher lost, a lesson told, to bring the proud to their knees. (Final Chorus – Haunting & Drawn Out) Ohhh, Pastor John, where’d you run? Your kingdom’s dust, your time is done. The law came knockin’, the truth came down, Now you're breathin’ deep in a border town. (Outro – Fades into the night…)

[Verse] Mùng Tám tháng Ba thật xanh Hương thơm qua ngõ mỏng manh gió chiều Ngày vui rực rỡ bao nhiêu Hoa tay ai đã thêu điều ước mơ [Verse 2] Cho bà nụ cười vừa tròn Cho mẹ con cháu luôn còn yêu thương Chị em duyên dáng bên đường Nụ hồng cứ nở như gương ánh cười [Chorus] Ngày này dệt đủ niềm vui Người đời khắc mãi một hồi ca vang Bông hoa trong nắng thênh thang Tình yêu ngọt như bát vàng yêu thương [Verse 3] Mặt trời dạo khắp sân siêng Câu chào nhẹ vọng qua liền xuân reo Người nào quên thán thư treo Lời chúc thêm đậm sắc treo đất tình [Bridge] Thế gian có chị có em Có bà có mẹ đêm hẹn mộng mơ Quây quần nhìn ánh đèn thờ Lời chúc cứ thế ngàn tờ vẫn vang [Chorus] Ngày này dệt đủ niềm vui Người đời khắc mãi một hồi ca vang Bông hoa trong nắng thênh thang Tình yêu ngọt như bát vàng yêu thương

[Verse] Yuvraj sits alone room so bare Silence fills spaces where love was shared Tears trace paths on cheeks that mourn A heart once whole now bruised and torn [Verse 2] He gave her his heart she let it fall Shattered echoes bounce off the wall Memories whisper in the midnight shade Promises woven now start to fade [Chorus] Time to rise from this shadowed fight Leave the ghost of love in the night Stars still shine though skies are cold The story's his now to be retold [Verse 3] The walls remember but they won't speak Every crack holding moments weak The clock keeps ticking a steady beat A reminder life moves past defeat [Bridge] Dreams don't die they shift and turn Through the ashes new fires burn Though tears may blur this view inside Healing begins as wounds subside [Chorus] Time to rise from this shadowed fight Leave the ghost of love in the night Stars still shine though skies are cold The story's his now to be retold

[Verse 1] (Soft, distant, fading like a memory) In the silent dark, I hear them call, Voices lost, yet never gone. Bound by chains of fate so cruel, Their sins remain… unseen by all. [Verse 2] (A weight of judgment, inescapable fate) Through the endless halls they fade, Names erased, yet scars remain. A world adorned in borrowed light, Yet none can leave… this hollow cage. [Chorus] (Resigned yet sorrowful, the voice of Reciprocity itself?) 🔹 Echoes of remembrance… 🔹 Written deep, yet left unsung. Turn the page, but read the same, A fate that never ends. [Verse 3] (A brief moment of doubt, as if the system questions itself) If all returns to dust once more, Why do their voices linger still? The past erased, the future chained, Yet something stirs… beyond the veil. [Final Chorus] (A realization that fate will not bend, that the cycle will continue regardless.) 🔹 Echoes of remembrance… 🔹 Turn the page, but read the same. No new dawn will break these walls, For fate cannot be changed. [Outro] (Soft, fading, as if the song itself is disappearing into history.) A nameless song upon the wind… Drifting far… far away…

(A solemn, hymn-like ballad in the style of My Brother from Berserk: The Golden Age, centered on Reciprocity and the Bell in Feerie’s Mirage.) [Verse 1] (Soft, sorrowful, as if sung from the depths of time itself.) The bell will toll, again, again… A name is lost upon the wind. The weight of time, the hands of fate, Will carve the sins that none defend. [Verse 2] (A slow march toward inevitability, fate’s unshaken will.) The voice it calls, yet none will hear, The pages turn, yet none will weep. For judgment waits behind the veil, And silence binds what none will keep. [Chorus] (The core refrain, the moment where the weight of judgment is sealed.) 🔹 The bell, it rings… it rings for thee. 🔹 No hand may stop the turning key. The shadow falls, the name is gone, Yet still… the tolling bell will sing. [Verse 3] (A glimmer of resistance, a question within the silence.) If dust returns to dust again, Then why do echoes never fade? A voice remains beneath the stone, Yet none will dare to speak its name. [Final Chorus] (Acceptance of the cycle, the inescapable decree of Reciprocity.) 🔹 The bell, it rings… it rings for thee. 🔹 No hand may stop the turning key. The shadow falls, the name is gone, Yet still… the tolling bell will sing. [Outro] (The final sound, a whisper before all fades to silence.) A name is lost upon the wind… And still… the bell will ring.

[Verse 1] (Female voice) The night is heavy, the silence deep, Secrets I carry won’t let me sleep. I did what I had to, but gods, does it ache, Another piece of me I had to break. [Pre-Chorus] (Female voice) She looked at me like nothing changed, But I know the price, the cost remains. How many more truths must I hide? How much more must I leave behind? [Chorus] (Both female and male voices) Not alone, not anymore, Your heartbeat is my open door. In the dark, I feel you near, Holding on, drowning out the fear. [Verse 2] (Female voice) Lying here, tracing scars on your skin, Trying to forget the war within. If I could steal just one more breath, I’d choose this moment over all the rest. [Pre-Chorus] (Female voice) But the weight still lingers, the echoes call, The burden I bear, I feel it all. How many more truths must I hide? How much more must I leave behind? [Chorus] (Both female and male voices) Not alone, not anymore, Your heartbeat is my open door. In the dark, I feel you near, Holding on, drowning out the fear. [Bridge] (Male voice, soft and reassuring) Lay your sorrow here with me, You don’t have to bleed unseen. No more burdens left to bear, I am here, I’m always there. [Chorus] (Both female and male voices, swelling in emotion) Not alone, not anymore, Your heartbeat is my open door. In the dark, I feel you near, Holding on, drowning out the fear. [Outro] (Female voice, fading into quiet acceptance) For tonight, it’s enough to know, That in your arms, I’m not alone
