In Which songs from 2011 bring me some memories of days past... a post done out of nostalgia

Good morning my excellent friend, reader of this present post! How are you? How is the week going? It has begun, and I pray, in a good way. I am overall okay. Not much else to be said, really. Just awaken way too late in the night/early in the morning. I will likely be sleepy by 6 to 7AM, but I won't desire to sleep. It will be that annoying battle against the heavy eyes.

To the city where the tall tower would stand

It fell like a sandcastle
The tower above the religious temple

How it stood, proud, millions would come to see
Nature do not like such attention, such confidence, it seeks to destroy it
Like a sand castle, it was melt

Like a sandcastle it felt
It fell
