This song was created by E.P. Beats to honor all his Romanian ancestors and countrymen who had given their lives to preserve their nation, culture, and Christian faith. His intention with releasing this song was not to invoke feelings of nationalism, but to showcase the pride and gratitude that all people must have for their own nation and heroes! 
The picture used in the cover art was taken by E.P. himself during his visit to Romania in 2019, when he went back to the village where his family had lived.

These verses were found in the coat pocket of a dead soldier in the fall of 1918 during WWI, on Mount Sorica in the Carpathian Mountains.

Verses in Romanian:
Nu plânge, Maică Românie,
Că am să mor neȋmpărtășit!
Un glonț pornit spre pieptul tău,
Cu pieptul meu eu l-am oprit…

Nu plânge, Maică Românie!
E rândul nostru să luptăm
Și din pământul ce ne arde
Nici o fărâmă să nu dăm!

Nu plânge, Maică Românie!
Pentru dreptate noi pierim;
Copiii noștri, peste veacuri,
Onoare ne vor da, o știm!

Nu plânge, Maică Românie !
Adună tot ce-i bun sub soare;
Ne cheamă și pe noi la praznic,
Când România va fi Mare!

Verses in English:
Do not cry, Mother Romania,
Because I will die without Holy Communion!
A bullet, headed for your chest,
With my chest, I have stopped it...

Don't cry, Mother Romania!
It's our turn to fight
And from the earth which burns us (with love)
We will not give a single piece!

Don't cry, Mother Romania!
It is for justice, that we perish;
Our children, over the ages,
will give us Honor, we know it!

Don't cry, Mother Romania!
Gather all that is good under the sun;
They will call us again to feast,
When Romania, will once again be whole (Greater Romania)!

Nu plânge, Maică Românie!

Nu Plânge, Maică Românie!

Fractal Phantoms Opera No 3

Always a sunny day, 
I just can't concentrate, 
Is this the day we both changed?
  So much to throw away, 
  A change is on its way,
  Always a sunny day.
      Another rare display, 
      You tell me that's OK, 
      Is this the way it will stay?
The same as yesterday,
Always a sunny day.

Could be any day, 
Same thing again,
How could we know?
Changing today.

You're asking me when to breathe,
I'm asking you what to do.
Changing today.

You've stumbled on a stone, 
Don't tell me you're alone, 
There's something in my eyes but I cannot disguise it.
Moving at a snail pace, 
Always in the same place
Have to take a chance with the same old circumstances.

Look back and say,
A little each day,
Something will grow,
And slowly decay.

You're asking me for space to breathe,
I'm asking you to give me room,
Slowly decay.

Not just a place that we own when we're all grown and unknown,
Watching the water get tasteless and overgrown.
Used to fly like a moth to the fire for hire,
But time and time again makes you lose the desire.

Always a sunny day,
Always a sunny day,
Always a sunny day,
Always a sunny day…
