thirty six let's Go down to the lines there Here

00:18

it is Not only that but moody stricken a have

00:21

stood before them with a crucifixion in his face In

00:24

all the nameless regal overbearing dignity of some mighty whoa

00:30

in woe is probably right on here All right let's

00:32

think about this We don't want to get too preachy
