Esto ya hace mucho tiempo
te lo tengo que decir.
A pesar de todo
lo que me hace sufrir

Deberé servir, antes de partir...

Encuentro todo vacío
y la gente que ya no quiere ni ver
a un costado del camino
para no sentirse infiel

Todos somos testigos
hasta cómplices podríamos decir.
Y algún que otro domingo
un diezmo limpia una conciencia y va por más

Deberíamos poder dormir tranquilos
Si las cosas se hacen bien
no tendrás por qué temer...

Si algún día sientes frío
y acobijo vos no recibís
vos que supiste ser cómplice
del otro lado ahora comprendés.

No haber hecho nada
cuando pudiste si entonces vos ves

Que cuando hablaban de Indigencia
ni un pelo te movió a ti.
Y entre tanto y tanta historia
no se te cruzó que esto podría ocurrir.

Gente enferma, delirante
con inclinación hacia lo material,
que descuida la conciencia,
todo vale por tal de poder trepar

Deberíamos poder dormir tranquilos
Si las cosas se hacen bien
no tendrás por qué temer...

2 Immortal Eyz / To Immortalize (single private link - drops 02/20/2018)
by Renee Asteria/Razteria

Lyrics
I want to sit in the Sun and write
A song for you
I know you may not like it
But it’s for you
You’re my Muse x2
I’ll write - Anything I choose
I want to sit in the Song I write
Immerse myself in you
You’re always out of my reach
We’ll never be true
I have nothing to lose
I’ll imagine anything I choose
You can’t refuse my Muse 

CHORUS
You inspire me - Eh
I’ll immortalize - my words in rhyme
You inspire me - Eh
I’ll immortalize this song in time

Here I must admit
I’m totally obsessed
There’s nothing else to do but
Give my blood to transfuse
All of me to you my Muse 
Fuse all of me to you
My Muse 

CHORUS
You devour me - Eh
But I’ll immortalize my soul in rhyme
You inspire me - Eh
I’ll devote my Life
Immortalize Eyz
You inspire me - Eh
I’ll immortalize this song in rhyme
You inspire me - Eh
I’ll immortalize my words in Time
INTERLUDE
CHORUS
You devour me - Eh
But I’ll immortalize
My soul in Time
You inspire me - Eh
I’ll devote my Life
OUTRO
This song I write
Immortalized
My soul in Time
As you Devour me
This is what’s left behind
This is my Life
This song I write
I’m immortalized - Immortal-Eyzd

What's the cure for heartbreak? Funny songs! Queen Mab will tell the story of loving and losing a fellow she met in an awkward meditation class. Come find out what it's like to be an International Man of Mystery!
