The United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (French L'Organisation des Nations unies pour l’éducation, la science et la culture: UNESCO; /juːˈnɛskoʊ/) is a specialized agency of the United Nations (UN). Its stated purpose is to contribute to peace and security by promoting international collaboration through education, science, and culture in order to further universal respect for justice, the rule of law, and human rights along with fundamental freedoms proclaimed in the UN Charter. It is the heir of the League of Nations' International Commission on Intellectual Cooperation.
UNESCO has 195 Member States (it recently added Palestine in November 2011) and eight Associate Members. Most of the field offices are "cluster" offices covering three or more countries; there are also national and regional offices. UNESCO pursues its objectives through five major programs: education, natural sciences, social and human sciences, culture, and communication and information. Projects sponsored by UNESCO include literacy, technical, and teacher-training programmes; international science programmes; the promotion of independent media and freedom of the press; regional and cultural history projects; the promotion of cultural diversity; international cooperation agreements to secure the world cultural and natural heritage (World Heritage Sites) and to preserve human rights, and attempts to bridge the worldwide digital divide. It is also a member of the United Nations Development Group.

They will be back again
They will be back in the night
You won't escape again with no more than a fright
I need a cover, I need a shelter
I need you to pretend we're really strong
All the safety will be gone
Before the darkness gets a chance to bite
Sing me a song and hold me tight
I am now where I have been
And I see what I've already seen
'Cause this is a nightmare this is not a dream
You will scream, you have to scream
I think I have gone monstercrazy
You will scream, you have to scream
From darkness into the light
We have survived a narrow escape
Out of the jaws of death
One moment that takes your breath
Out of the jaws of death
One moment that takes your breath
Before the darkness gets a chance to bite
Sing me a song and hold me tight
I am now where I have been
And I see what I've already seen
'Cause this is a nightmare this is not a dream
You will scream, you have to scream
I think I have gone monstercrazy
You will scream, you have to scream
A cry
Under the screen of the dark
A scare, a chase, a mystery
Like a child I stay up in fright
Stay up all night
Stay up every night
So don't wonder what it was
These shadows called your name
And nothing will be the same
They will be back again
They will be back again
You will scream, you have to scream
This is not a dream this is a nightmare
They will be back again
They will be back again in the night
Can you hear this sound?
Can you hear this noise?
Can you hear this sound?
Can you hear this noise?
Are you really alone?
Your mind is staking out like mine was before
A cold wind is blowing through your house
It sounds like whispered lies
Your mind is staking out like mine was before
Did you make sure is somebody darkening your door?
Is somebody darkening your door?
This room is dead and cold
This room is dead and cold
Is this still your home?
Did you leave the back door open?
What would you give to return to the fold?
What would you give to return to the fold?
Can you hear this sound?
Can you hear this noise?
Can you hear this sound?
Can you hear this noise?
Are you really alone?
Your mind is staking out like mine was before
A cold wind is blowing through your house
It sounds like whispered lies
Your mind is staking out like mine was before
Did you make sure is somebody darkening your door?
Is somebody darkening your door?
Just make yourself believe
That there is nobody under your bed
One wish for a divine spark
They won't follow you into the dark
Follow you into the dark
This room is dead and cold
Is this still your home?
Did you leave the back door open?
What would you give to return to the fold?
This room is dead and cold
Is this still your home?
Did you leave the back door open?
What would you give to return to the fold?
(This room is dead and cold
Is this still your home?
Did you leave the back door open?
What would you give to return to the fold?)
This could have been your last act (x4)
This could have been, this could have, this could have been your last act
This could have been your last act (x3)
My time, my time won't run away tonight
The ghost of me will disappear without a light
Time will not, will not run away tonight
The ghost of me will disappear without a light
Things get misunderstood
Things get misunderstood
In the time of my dying
It doesn't feel like, It doesn't feel like flying
I am blaming me but it's alright, but it's alright
I am blaming me but it's alright, it's alright
Just can't see anything without a light
Just can't see anything without a light
You never ask me to lie
I never ask you to cry
You never ask me to lie
I see it in your eyes I feel it in your touch
Time will not, will not run away tonight
The ghost of me will disappear without a light
My time, my time won't run away tonight
The ghost of me will disappear without a light
Things get misunderstood
Things get misunderstood
In the time of my dying
It doesn't feel like, It doesn't feel like...
Time, time won't, won't run away tonight
The ghost of me will disappear without a light
Lying in the darkness of this dead end street
I cannot run away cause this is my world
There will never be a brand new you and me
You never ask me
You never ask me to lie
I never ask you to cry
You never ask me to lie
I see it in your eyes I feel it in your touch
No matter when I wanna see you, see you again
It's all good and it's gonna be alright
Say you will and shoot the light
My shadow will fade away
I can't say your name again
'Cause it will never feel the same like it did before
As we stood at your last resting spot
With broken eyes, empty, sad and lost
Hopelessly in human tragedy
All the people who cared and pray
Like I did everyday, everyday
This all happened so fast, this all happened too soon
There was no time to prepare, this was just unfair
When I say your name
It will never be the same
I wish you could see
You will be missed dreadfully
Why did you had to fly, fly away from me into the sky?
Where did you go without me?
Where do we go?
I don't even know
All the people who cared and pray
Like I did every fucking single day,
This all happened so fast, this all happened too soon
There was no time to prepare, this was just unfair
I don't know, where do we go?
I don't know, what do we aim for?
What do we aim for? Is this all there is to it?
Why did you had to fly, fly away from me into the sky?
Where did you go without me?
Where do we go?
I don't even know
All the people who cared and pray
Like I did every fucking single day,
Hopelessly in human tragedy
All the people, who cared and pray...
But I know what I'm going to say
Pictures in my head of those days, those days
How it felt to see your face
How it felt to touch your skin (now you're gone)
But now you're gone for so long
I need to find some courage to try (now you're gone)
I know I have to try
I need to find some courage to try (now you're gone)
I need you to, I need you to feel the same
I need you to come here and save me
Come with me I will make you feel good
Feel like you really should
I guess you're finding your feet, yeah
I guess you're finding
I guess you're finding your feet
I only have myself to blame
There is nothing I can do now to right my wrongs so I write this songs
I was so confused, I was scared and bruised
Sometimes it’s not enough and the road gets tough
Silence is your sound but I prefer the bold and loud
Silence is your sound but I prefer the bold and loud
Silence is your sound
I guess you're finding your feet, yeah
I guess you're finding
I guess you're finding your feet
I am a wishing saint
I won't resist it
I will reside
I won't resist it
I will reside
I'm so crazy, I'm sorry that I'm misbehaving
Trying to push past, but past saving
Was I always like this, adventure seeking, so restless
Silence is your sound but I prefer the bold and loud
Silence is your sound but I prefer the bold and loud
Silence is your sound
I need you to, I need you to feel the same
I need you to come here and save me
Come with me I will make you feel good
Feel like you really should
Just let go, just let go, of what you think you know
Just let go, just let go, your life will be sweet when you're finally free
I will fly away, fly into the stars
I am a wishing saint
I won't resist it
I will reside
Everybody's gonna be afraid sometimes
And it's the right time to be
It's the right time to be
For one final time
Just be brave, just be strong
Do not surrender and get along
Do you remember what you told me once?
What you told me once?
This could be your last act without a happy ending
It's not a gothic tale this is tonight
I don't want to sleep anymore
Almost shaken to the core
Shut out what they say
This dream is fucked up anyway
I tried to tell myself what to dream what to forget
And now I try wake up cause all hell is let loose
You will find an answer, you will find the truth
Because there is so much to answer there is so much to do
For one final time
Just be brave, just be strong
Do not surrender and get along
Do you remember what you told me once?
What you told me once?
I tried to tell myself what to dream what to forget
And now I try wake up cause all hell is let loose
(I will take a fire walk with you) x3
(We will bring off a coup)
(I will take a fire walk with you)
(We will bring off a coup)
I will take a fire walk with you
We will bring off a coup
I promised I'd see this with you now
I'd see this with you now
I tried to tell myself what to dream what to forget
Dropped by the wayside
All what was left is done
The past is a lie
So don't you forget it
My first note in every song I sang
On every line I wrote
Let me tell you you're the sweetest thing
In every line I wrote in every song I sang
It's like falling in love
It's like falling in love to a break up song
But there is no way of knowing
Don't get me wrong
My first note in every line I wrote
In every song I sing
Have you forgotten what you've seen?
Trying to wipe the slate clean
It is me on that road
With your hair in my hand
On my way to nowhere
Till I am where we have never been
Till I am where we have never been
Till I am where we have never been
My first note in every song I sang
On every line I wrote
Let me tell you you're the sweetest thing
In every line I wrote in every song I sang
It's like, It's like falling in love
It's like falling in love to a break up song
But there is no way of knowing
Have you forgotten what you've seen?
Trying to wipe the slate clean
On my way to nowhere
Till I am where we have never been
On my way (on my way) to nowhere (to nowhere)
Till I am where we have never been
We all have stories that we will never tell
From the bottom line fear is the heart of hell
I was down and out but the world did not fall apart
And now there is not a single thing to frown about
You know my name but not my story
You know everything I've done
You know my name but not what I have been through
What I have been through
By the time you want me to be, to be in your life, to be in your life again
Someday you will see
By the time you will understand that I will be gone, I will be gone again
Life is too awesome to waste your time away
Someday this pain will make sense to you
I was down and out, but the world did not fall apart
And now there is not a single thing to frown about
You want me to be in your life again
But I will be in someone else's
By the time you want me to be, to be in your life, to be in your life again
Someday you will see
By the time you will understand that I will be gone, I will be gone again
By the time you want to tell me, (and you want me to see)
By the time you will understand that I will be gone, I will be gone again
Who am I to force my destiny
No I am fine, I wait patiently
I have all the time in the world
Footloose and fancy free
Who am I to force my destiny?
Who am I to force my destiny?
Again it seems we meet
I will take you out tonight
Your hearts beating faster and faster
The precious one underneath your bra
The precious one underneath your bra
Who am I to force my destiny?
Who am I to force my destiny?
No I am fine, I wait patiently
No I am fine, I wait patiently
Drifting away into the night
You are right here, right next to me
I never want this night to end
'Cause I've got all my time to spend
Some may believe
That someday there comes somebody nice
That one will change your life tremendously
To make it better in some degree
A taste of confidence in my mouth
Is more than I can say
There is only one thing that is sure
(I remember becoming a believer
I remember when my heart has caught the fever
I remember becoming a believer
I remember and my heart has caught the fever)
I remember becoming a believer
I remember when my heart has caught the fever
I mean after all the things we've been through
I mean after all the things we got into
So it just hurts my soul
I may never know
So it just hurts my soul
How I feel for you
You walk around like you don't know me
You're just pushing me down, pushing me down
To my surprise a fuck is my replacement
The biggest douchebag in this town
And I know that love is mean
I know that I cared but it was never enough
I know I was there but it was never near enough
When my eyes are wet and sore I can't see you anymore
When I never see your face again
My world would be such a better place
(I still remember)
It ain't complicated, I've grown to hate it
(Say you will remember)
Does it make you feel good, knowing that you could
So it just hurts my soul
I may never know
So it just hurts my soul
How I feel for you
You walk around like you don't know me
You're just pushing me down, pushing me down
To my surprise a fuck is my replacement
The biggest douchebag in this town
And I know that love is mean, and I know that love hurts
But I still remember, say you will remember
Oh we had too much fun my friend
I am wasted I am the end
I am wasted (I am the end)
Sneaking out and staying up until the morning
Sneaking out and staying up drinking without any prior warning
We were electric we felt it in the air
We were on fire and it was everywhere
Our feet never touched the ground
And our bodies will never be found
Too many shots and we've lost all game control
On an empty stage without a living soul
That's the way we danced until we forget
And then we woke up in an ice cold sweat
We were electric we felt it in the air
We were on fire and it was everywhere
We were electric we felt it in the air
We were on fire and it was everywhere
Our feet never touched the ground
And our bodies will never be found
We were electric we felt it in the air
We were on fire and it was everywhere
Our feet never touched the ground
And our bodies will neve...
We were looking for fun
And getting high for free
But what did we know what did we see?
A taste of real life as it should be
A taste of real life ready for another lie?
This shits gonna make you high
Come on and take another shot
Like a criminal who hasn't been caught
We got into trouble but we moved on
That's where the beginning of the end begun
The beginning of the end begun
I am scared that you won't be waiting on the other side
