All around me are familiar faces
Worn out places, worn out faces
Bright and early for their daily races
Going nowhere, going nowhere
Their tears are filling up their glasses
No expression, no expression
Hide my head I want to drown my sorrow
No tomorrow, no tomorrow

And I find it kinda funny
I find it kinda sad
The dreams in which I’m dying
Are the best I’ve ever had
I find it hard to tell you
I find it hard to take
When people run in circles
It’s a very, very mad world mad world

Children waiting for the day they feel good
Happy Birthday, Happy Birthday
Made to feel the way that every child should
Sit and listen, sit and listen
Went to school and I was very nervous
No one knew me, no one knew me
Hello teacher tell me what’s my lesson
Look right through me, look right through me

And I find it kinda funny
I find it kinda sad
The dreams in which I’m dying
Are the best I’ve ever had
I find it hard to tell you
I find it hard to take
When people run in circles
It’s a very, very mad world … mad world
Enlarging your world
Mad world

I wake from a nightmare now
In the day it haunts me
It slowly tears me apart
With dreams of a distant love
I’m a wandering satellite

Spirit dreams inside
Spirit dreams inside
Spirit dreams inside
Spirit dreams inside

Excitate vow somno, liberi mei.

Cunae non sunt.

Excitate vow e somno, liberi fatali.

Somnus non eat.

There is no cradle.

Invenite hortum veritatis.

Ardente veritate.

Urite mala mundi.

Ardente veritate.

Incendite tenebras mundi.

Scorch the world of evil.

Set fire to the world of darkness.

Valete, liberi,

Diebus fatalibus.

(FF VIII)

Taiko, … kisah tentang laki-laki yang membuat burung itu ingin berkicau. (Eiji Yoshikawa 1892-1962)

Son
You’ve got a way to fall
They’ll tell you where to go
But they won’t know

Son
You’d better take it all
They’ll tell you what they know
But they won’t show

Oh
I’ve got something in my throat
I need to be alone
While I suffer

Son
You’ve got a way to kill
They’re picking on you still
But they don’t know

Son
You’d better wait to shine
They’ll tell you what is yours
But they’ll take mine

Oh
I’ve got something in my throat
I need to be alone
While I suffer

Oh
There’s a hole inside my boat
And I need stay afloat
For the summer
Long

Oh
I’ve got something in my throat
I need to be alone
While I suffer

Oh
There’s a hole inside my boat
And I need stay afloat
For the summer

Son
You’ve got to wait to fall
They’ll tell you where to go
But they won’t know

Hidup bukan saja hanya mewariskan gen. Kita dapat mewariskan lebih dari sekedar DNA kita. Melalui pidato, musik, literatur, film…melalui apa yang pernah kita lihat, dengar, rasakan,…marah, senang, dan sedih…inilah yang akan kita wariskan. Untuk itulah saya hidup.

Kita perlu untuk memberikan obor tersebut, dan membiarkan anak-anak kita membaca sejarah kita yang sedih dan kacau dengan cahayanya. Kita memiliki semua keajaiban di era digital untuk melakukannya. Mungkin suatu hari manusia akan musnah, dan spesies baru akan menguasai planet ini. Bumi mungkin tidak abadi, tetapi kita masih memiliki tanggung jawab untuk meninggalkan jejak kehidupan yang bisa kita tinggalkan. Membangun masa depan dan mempertahankan masa lalu, tetap hidup adalah satu hal yang sama.

( Pada tahun 80′an ada lebih dari 60.000 hulu ledak nuklir di dunia, kekuatan penghancurnya sama dengan satu juta kali bom yang dijatuhkan di Hiroshima. Pada januari 1993, START2 ditandatangani, Amerika dan Russia setuju untuk mengurangi jumlah hulu ledak nuklir strategis ke angka 3.500 - 3.000 di tiap negara selambatnya 31 Desember 2000. Namun, melewati 1998, masih terdapat 26.000 hulu ledak nuklir di dunia )

I stare at the stars and the sky up above

and think "what am I made of?"

Am I full of sorrow? Am I hurt and pained?

Or am I filled…with love?

I walk by my self on the streets below

and ask every child I know,

"Do you think tomorrow will bring sun or rain?

Wich one of these will show?"

I can’t say good-bye to yesterday, my friend,

I keep holding on ’till the end

Out of the darkness there is no other way

than the light leading to yesterday

It’s there that I’ll find

In a peace not warm

and dreams that I let slip away

I’ll find the joyfulness I’m looking for

way back in yesterday

Why can’t each of us in the world ever see,

"The best things in life are free"

little sounds of laughter or one hug, a smile

a kiss from you to me

I fall to my kness

I cry and I cry

Love, do not pass me by

Happy everafter, please stay for a while

make time refuse to fly

I can’t say good-bye to yesterday, my friend

’cause I know how good it has been

face it forever, here I stand, come what may

in the old in the new yesterday

It’s there that I’ll find

in a peace not warm

and dreams that I let slip away

I’ll find the joyfulness I’m looking for

way back in yesterday

Aku tahu, ya aku tahu!

Jika aku keluar, sungai menelanku.

Inilah takdirku: Hari ini aku pasti mati!

Tapi tidak, kekuatan jiwa ‘kan mengatasi segalanya.

Ada beribu rintangan. Ku akui itu.

Tak ‘kan aku keluar.

Jika harus mati, biarlah terjadi di gua ini.

Peluru, apakah yang dapat ia lakukan jika takdirku adalah mati tenggelam ?

Tapi, kan kukalahkan takdir itu.

Kekuatan jiwa ‘kan mengalahkannya.

Mati ? Tentu saja!

Tapi ditembusi peluru, dirobek bayonet? TIDAK!

Tenggelam, TIDAK !

Kenangan ‘kan mencatat namaku abadi

Aku melawan !

Aku mati melawan !

If i die in combat zone. Tell all the people in homeland. That i did my best.

If i die in combat zone. Tell that pretty girl of mine. That i bring best memories with me.

If i die in combat zone. Tell all my best friends. That i died facing the gun.

If i die in combat zone. I don’t need my name on grave. Etch instead that there was; A man who lived, fought and died.
