about

I am not a fatalist. I do not believe in any mystical interpretations. I am pragmatic. But I am an artist. How is that?

The life I live I chose. My abilities were revealed to me through various circumstances when I was young. I chose to want to play musical instruments; so I did. I chose to want to write songs; so I did. In doing all this throughout my entire life the very life I live today is the result of these choices. The same goes for everyone else.

My choices were entirely based on production. I love the act of making music. It is a life that is burning still. It is fire.

lyrics

Night is dark and dark is lame
Into the ally once again
Convenient answers cannot explain
From all illusions do abstain
Abandon hope cry you to me
That reflects your misery
Contented with the life you've scorned
From the stone then pull your sword

This is life
This is life that is chosen
This is life
This is life that is burning
This is burning
The fire is burning

Night is dark and dark is lame
Into the ally once again
Convenient answers cannot explain
From all illusions do abstain
Abandon hope cry you to me
That reflects your misery
Contented with the life you've scorned
From the stone go ahead pull your sword
pull your sword

This is life
This is life that is chosen
This is life
This is life that is burning
This is burning
The fire is burning
