There's nothing to believe
Only when I quit believing in myself
did I come into this beauty.
I saw your blade and burned my shield!
I flew on six hundred pairs of wings like Gabriel
But now that I'm here, what do I need wings for?
Day and night I guarded the pearl of my soul.
Now in this ocean of pearling currents,
I've lost track of what was mine.
