That time is gone now; it cannot return,458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLS32H2WM1r
The fruit's been swallowed; its slow poison kills,458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaoMAVqMURD
And yet my fallen heart will always yearn,458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ14ICAEKx2i
For that most happy time of unknown skills.458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqFaFv3QYgw
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8YyJzNGZvo
Oh false god, knowledge, daily you destroy,458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlHG5x7Tpy1
All that was holy in me as a boy!458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI4qOGvK3SB
