New song produced by Lágy Szellő
Lyrics :Barlangi Fuvallat (edited by LágySzellő)
Lyrics:   (english translation below)

korábban érkeztél   vagy
én késtem pár percet 
kettőnknek rendeltél  én meg 
fizettem helyetted    
leültünk a sarokba
háttal a sötétnek
tálcánkon a konyak legyen
 kezdete a végnek

chorus:
ugyanaz 
a folyó
amibe bele
lépünk 
midig ugyan-
-úgy sodor
és ugyanúgy
félünk
                           
verse2:
szemedből  felhők úsznak
szépen éppen most el
indulok én is hogy  ha
mondod  nekem  hogy kell
de  magamtól maradnék még
tovább egy picit
csak űlnék  itt veled és
szívnék egy cigit
chorus
solo:chorus
verse 3:
másnap majd megbánjuk hogy 
sokáig maradtunk
az eltűnő idő helyett
csak egymásra hallgattunk  
fekszünk az ágyban
a világnak háttal 
magunkba zuhanva
letörött  szárnnyal
 translation:
Verse 1:

You arrived a little early, or
I was a few minutes late
You ordered for the two of us, and
I paid for you instead

We sat down in the corner,
With our backs to the dark
Let the cognac on our tray
Be the beginning of the end

Chorus:

The same
River
That we
Step into

It always
Flows the same
And we're just as
Afraid

Verse 2:

Clouds drift from your eyes,
Beautifully, right now
I'll leave too if
You tell me I have to

But I'd stay on my own
For just a little longer
I'd just sit here with you
And smoke a cigarette

Chorus
Solo: Chorus

Verse 3:

Tomorrow we'll regret
Staying up for so long
Instead of the disappearing time,
We only listened to each other

We lie in bed,
With our backs to the world
Collapsing into ourselves,
With broken, clipped wings

ugyanaz

I’ve gotten good at playing make believe, just keep on keeping on.
Everything is fake, you see, except that you are gone.
It’s gonna break me, guess the seeds I’ve sown were all weeds.

Another day, another time, another opportunity,
Just one mountain left to climb, one trip ‘cross the sea.
I always thought you were just the one for me.

Nothing left but an empty place beside me
That’s where you belong.
Empty places always gather dust.
It’s not staying empty very long.

I’d grown accustomed to you being here, I guess I’ll come around.
I’m not used to seeing clear, an unfamiliar sound.
One more night of fightin’ tears, then I’m happy bound.
Nothing left but an empty place beside me
That’s where you belong.
Empty places always gather dust.
It’s not staying empty very long.

I know you tried, but trying’s not enough to make it through.
If you decide I still mean something to you.

Nothing left but an empty place beside me
That’s where you belong.
Empty places always gather dust.
It’s not staying empty very long.

[Verse 1]
Half a step from where I stood
Said I might, never said I would
Traced your name across the glass
Watched the moment slowly pass

[Pre-Chorus]
Too much doubt, too little to say
You moved on while I looked away

[Chorus]
Took the long way from maybe
Drew a line, then looked away
Held my breath while you were waiting
Now there’s nothing left to say
You were steady, I was slow
Now I walk this road alone

[Verse 2]
Called your name, then changed my mind
Hoped you’d read between the lines
Told myself it’s not too late
But fear will always hesitate

[Pre-Chorus]
Held back words I thought you’d understand
Now they’re ashes in my hands
[Chorus]
Took the long way from maybe
Let it drift, then walked away
Built a wall instead of meaning
Now there’s nothing I can say
You were ready, I said no
Now I walk this road alone

[Bridge]
Built a home on ifs and when
Closed the door, then asked again
Watched you leave without a sound
Now I’m stuck on this battleground

[Final Chorus]
Took the long way from maybe
Truth was there, I looked away
Spoke too soft and far too slowly
Now there’s nothing left to say
You were sure, and I was slow
Now I walk this road alone

[Outro]
The signs were clear, I looked away
Now it’s just me and yesterday

Long Way From Maybe

It's sad that I'm still having to write protest songs but we all need to speak up.

WE WON'T WEAR THEIR YOKE

Walking Onslaughts Tale: Forest Of Aura

Offspring and Walking Onslaughts cameback home from a very grueling adventure in the Kingdom Hearts world. They was battered, brused and very tired, so all of them went to sleep. But during the night, something strange was happening. Offspring's soul has ascended from his body and causing lots of spiritual orbs form around him. Adollaspring went to Offspring's room to see what's going on. Adollaspring was shocked and scared of what was happening. He tried to wake him up until a strange creature appeared out of nowhere to stop him. Adollaspring "Who are you and what are you doing to him?!" Strange creature "My name is Zen, and what you're experiencing is a stress call from us. You see, our forest World Of Aura is in complete danger. All of our pallets of the wisp is all over the world and we're in dire need to look for them, and it seems like your friend here might be the key to helping us. Don't worry, he's still alive, his soul is now a Echoing Hollow, only way for us to see them is we have to ascend from our bodies." Adollaspring "What the hell is all this about- HEY WAIT DON'T GO!?" Zen left the room leaving Adollaspring a ton of questions. The other guys woke up and saw what happened to Offspring. Offspring's soul finally made contact with it's hollow form. At first all of them was confused with what was going on. Offspring in his Echoing Hollow form told them everything about what was going on. He even stated "all of ya'll can come with me, but first you must master your Hollow self." H2O "But I am Hollow Offspring." Offspring "... Your Echoing Hollow self... O forget it, let me teach you how it's done but be warned, it requires a lot of energy and discipline." All of them agreed to follow Offspring to the forest. As they all arrived, Kantai poof out of her chain and gave Offspring a big hug. They thought he was cheating on his wife, but they both explained their connection with each other. But as that go on, they turned around and saw snow in the forest. It was entering it's frozen state with a frozen breeze. Walking Onslaught's bodies was getting cold too. "Aaaa dammit, this isn't good, your bodies isn't conditioned for the forest, we need to hurry NOW!" Offspring and Kantai rushed around the forest to collect one of the missings pallets. But of course, like every Walking Onslaughts Tale, they have to be battled tested by different enemies, but this time, Gigantic snow monsters! Offspring and Kantai tried using their liquidation, but it ends up freezing on them in the end. The rest of the gang tried to help, but they was no match for them, and their bodies was close to freezing. One of the snow enemies was close to killing Kantai until Offspring used his wounded arm to save her. It took all of his strength to stop the killing blow. As he looked to the monster eyes, he saw a floating pallet in his eyes. Hollowspring felt the pallet calling his name. He got close to the monster and reached his hand out towards it. Offspring tried stopping him, but he was too late. The monster bit off H2O's arm. All of them was in complete shocked in what happened to him. But H2O was dead calm about it. In fact, Offspring didn't know this, but Kantai transfer herself into H2O's arm and crawled inside the beast eye sockets. That's when she grabbed the pallet and absorbed it's power. Thanks to that, all of the winter spirits was in her complete control. Kantai went back to H2O and reattached him arm back to his body. Walking Onslaught's bodies was back to it's normal state again, and H2O transferred Kantai back to Offspring. Now H2O has learned a new special power, "Frozen Breeze" As that was going on, they all regrouped towards H2O asked him how he did it. His response " I don't know, but something tells me Kantai might be a pallet too..."
