Chris

I'd like to meet:

Anyone who shares some of my interests.

Tarja - Die Alive

Faun - Tagelied

Bring the mead and bring the ale
To help us face this fight again
Good fortune will shine down on us
Together we will win

And they will never break our spirit
We will never turn and run
And we will rise stronger still
When we stand as one!
