Uncial is a majuscule script (written entirely in capital letters) commonly used from the 3rd to 8th centuries AD by Latin and Greek scribes. Uncial letters are written in either Greek, Latin, or Gothic.
Early uncial script is likely to have developed from late Old Roman cursive. Early forms are characterized by broad single stroke letters using simple round forms taking advantage of the new parchment and vellum surfaces, as opposed to the angular, multiple stroke letters, which are more suited for rougher surfaces, such as papyrus. In the oldest examples of uncial, such as the De bellis macedonicis manuscript in the British Library, all of the letters are disconnected from one another, and word separation is typically not used. Word separation, however, is characteristic of later uncial usage.
As the script evolved over the centuries, the characters became more complex. Specifically, around AD 600, flourishes and exaggerations of the basic strokes began to appear in more manuscripts. Ascenders and descenders were the first major alterations, followed by twists of the tool in the basic stroke and overlapping. By the time the more compact minuscule scripts arose circa AD 800, some of the evolved uncial styles formed the basis for these simplified, smaller scripts. Uncial was still used, particularly for copies of the Bible, tapering off until around the 10th century. There are over 500 surviving copies of uncial script, by far the largest number prior to the Carolingian Renaissance.
This masquerade
The games we play all come down to this
Sip of passion
Slow reactions with romance in the air
Gentle fire
Leads to perspirin’ as passion takes the night away
Forbidden love to unbridled truth
As consequences fade away
Your secret's safe with me
When moonlight fills your fantasies
Flip gets to floppin’
And the bed gets to rockin’
So Fine, you're mine
If only for one night
Tick tock of the clock
Reality sets in.
Slow risin’ chest
Enter regret manifesting through smoke and sweat
And Oh!
A ring from the phone, a call from home
Should we answer it?
Forbidden love to unbridled truth
As consequences fade away
Your secret's safe with me
When moonlight fills your fantasies
Flip gets to floppin’
And the bed gets to rockin’
So Fine, you're mine
This must be the hardest thing I've had to do
How can I ever say goodbye to you?
I feel like a little child about to cry
Whenever darkness falls I'll run to you
Whenever silence calls I'll stay true
There is no distance we can't go through
‘Cuz there is just no way that we can fall apart
Some would say that’s love, but I'd say its you and I
And I can't imagine life for you so far away
Away from my loving arms every night and day
I find myself racing for dream running out of time
Slowly the world keeps spinning round
Water still flows but will we drown?
They say that times are changin’ but I don’t know if I agree
History repeats itself as we walk blindly…Ya
Go ahead and free your mind
Open up let your true self find
There’s truth between the lines
One step forward two steps back
Place your hand in mine
In this tango of lies
I look to the sky
So many dream have been cast aside
Slowly the world keeps bringing me down
How can I rise above this pain
Before I’m in the ground
They say that times are changin’ but I don’t know if I agree
History repeats itself as we walk blindly…Ya
Go ahead and free your mind
Open up let your true self find
There’s truth between the lines
One step forward two steps back
Place your hand in mine
6am and feelin’ tired
Been runnin’ every day
The weight of the world is on my back
Feelin’ the strain in every way
I begin to cry
As reality sets in, just feel like givin’ in
What would you do what would you say when it all goes away?
When I am down
Would you be my clown helping my get through to the other side?
When it all goes astray would you fade away
Or would you be…
Would be my side show
Day goes to week and week to month
As I travel down this road
Where will we stop
Where will we get to
It seems nobody knows
And I begin to try to take one step at a time for the rest of my life
What would you do what would you say when it all goes away?
When I am down
Would you be my clown helping my get through to the other side?
When it all goes astray would you fade away
Or would you be…
Would be my side show
6am and feelin tired. Been runnin every day
And oh the weight of the world is on my back
But would you be…
When I am down
Would you be my clown helping my get through to the other side?
When it all goes astray would you fade away
Or would you be…
Been three damn weeks since I saw your face
From makin' love every night
To gone without a trace
And I was too smooth for a breakdown
Too cool for a meltdown
Who woulda thought that you would be the one?
How could I never recognize
The lies burning in your eyes
Never telling me you need to move on
It was so easy
Had me in your spell
And I was believing you were speaking the truth
Another game of kiss and tell...
And I was too smooth for a breakdown
Too cool for a meltdown
Who woulda thought that you would be the one?
How could I never recognize
The lies burning in your eyes
Never telling me you need to move on
I’m cool I’m too smooth
And I won’t fall apart
I’m too cool I’m too smooth
And I won’t fall apart
How could I never recognize
The lies burning in your eyes
Its in your eyes
Its when we laugh but still cry and somehow survive
Its in the way you need me
The way I can be so real the first time
It's in the happy moments
The times when I know
This love won't
And we could last into tomorrow
Right through the sorrow we feel when we cry
And we could last right through impossible
Into the place we call home
I believe if we try with God on our side
As I wander down this road
The only road I’ve known
I find myself so confused
How did I get this way?
Will I be ok?
Will I fall apart in yours?
Who could ask for more than everything a man could give
Short of death from lies?
When nothing ever seems to work out right
Do you stay and fight and never think twice?
Is that love?
And no one said that life was easy
No one said that life was fair
But nobody said that love would fail
And every night I cry
I feel like I could die a thousand times
Before the sunrise
Who could ask for more than everything a man could give
Short of death from lies?
When nothing ever seems to work out right
Do you stay and fight and never think twice?
Is that love?
Every night I can feel your power
Every day my soul races for you…for you
Every night and every day from the midnight hour I can feel your heart in mine.
I woke up this mornin' from a crazy dream
Coulda swore you were here
My body's so warm and its the strangest thing
I kinda wish you were near
And I say take that back to the days things drifted away
Her class and style
They made me go wild in every single way
And a feel that
The rhythm of my broken beaten heart
Her love is poison
It can't be avoided
She's got that crazy kind of love
My mind slowly grips now
All the ways you schemed
The way you ran around my heart.
My brain is on meltdown
See that’s the foolish thing...
I kinda wish it never stopped
And a feel that
The rhythm of my broken beaten heart
Her love is poison
It can't be avoided
She's got that crazy kind of love
My mind slowly grips now
All the ways you schemed
The way you ran around my heart.
My brain is on meltdown
See that’s the foolish thing...
The way that your body moves
It feels so right
The shake of your hips the
The taste of your lips drive me wild
Sweat begins to beat
Dancing in the sheets
Start to take over, find yourself in the lead
Take control, take control
Just lose yourself for a minute, you’ll find you won't regret it
Just take control take control
Throw away your inhibitions and find yourself in me.
The way that your body grooves feels so right
You got me dancing up all night
Fast then slow, away you go, start to lose your mind!
Take control, take control
Just lose yourself for a minute, you’ll find you won't regret it
Just take control take control
Throw away your inhibitions and find yourself in me.
Take control, take control
Just lose yourself for a minute, you’ll find you won't regret it
Just take control take control
The tension is building up
Its getting me down
I go crazy inside every little time you're around
You say that you're leavin' now but you can't tell me why
What I'm saying is...
Tell me what's the good in goodbye?
Breakdown
Shakedown
Feel that...
Let the rhythm take you over now.
Don't fight it when it feels so right
You know we could dance until the moon goes down
For so long
I've been on my own
There's just no way I'm letting you go
The music takes hold and you can't deny
There's just feelins you can't describe...
Hold on
This ain't wrong
Just let go girl...Ya
Breakdown
Shakedown
Feel that...
Let the rhythm take you over now.
Don't fight it when it feels so right
You know we could dance until the moon goes down
Breakdown
Shakedown
Feel that...
Let the rhythm take you over now.
Don't fight it when it feels so right

I hope you'll write me soon,
I'll run away and never look back.
You'll never hear my voice in the wind!
I'm free.
Now I have to say that love is my incredible pain,
'cause something gonna happen to me
my dreams.
You should know
my tears are only drops of rain,
and now I'm really free.
I broke all the chains.
You should know

and now I'm really free.
Just give me one chance.
I believe in fate
but never think a lot about death.
I only want to stay in your heart,
your dreams.
I don't feel regret
just try to take my last but deep breath
I'm turning rain in your mind,
we'll fly.
You should know
my tears are only drops of rain,
and now I'm really free.
I broke all the chains.
You should know
my tears are only drops of rain,
and now I'm really free.

You'll remember my face of love
I will stay in your mind and
tears never feel the same!
I'll destroy the wall
which stands between my love and your blame.
The moon is in the way and I feel
it's light.
Life's a game of time
I'm streaming like a man on the train.
I cannot stop my colorful dream
I decided that
You should know
my tears are only drops of rain,
and now I'm really free.
I broke all the chains.
You should know
my tears are only drops of rain,
and now I'm really free.
Just give me one chance.

Silence of the city
Darkest of night
You believe I will never be able to leave
without saying good-bye to you
I'm passing by the places
where we spent our nights
I will never forget
such an innocent smile and shine of your eyes
You are the only one
and I promise you
to keep it in my heart
Now I have to go
but you should know
we'll never be apart
you're always in my heart, my love.
Do you still remember
how we spent our days
Every moment was filled with the light of your eyes
We were crazy but now it's gone
Life is like a journey
So keep going on
you will never forget
'cause I promise to live inside your heart
You are the only one
and I promise you
to keep it in my heart
Now I have to go
but you should know
we'll never be apart
Let's play!
You were my hero.
I still remember I were game.
Now look at the mirror
and tell me tell me tell me
and tell me if you were just the same.
You know if I leave you,
I won't regret because that's a game
there's nothing you gave me,
all that you've got is only fame.
Play with me, play with me, my lover.
Come and show me your love under cover.
Play with me, play with me, and give me
all your kisses under the pouring rain.
Play with me , play with me.
Show me, show me.
You're hiding from me.
I'm running away and that's our game.
I want you to be free.
Let me release your passion and flame
When I feel your touch.
You kiss my lips and I fly away.
You love me too much,
somehow you've got to make me stay.
Play with me, play with me, my lover.
Come and show me your love under cover.
Play with me, play with me, and give me
all your kisses under the pouring rain.
Come and show me.
Come and show me.
Play with me.
All your kisses.
Play with me.
Play. Game.
Play with me.
Show me. Show me.
When I feel your touch,
you kiss my lips and I fly away.
You love me too much,
somehow you've got to make me stay
Play with me, play with me, my lover.
Come and show me your love under cover.
Play with me, play with me, and give me
Wake me up in early morning.
Make me coffee – let’s stay in bed.
Take it slow to make me want you.
No more lies and no more regrets!
I want you to be insane.
Pleasure together with pain
Feel it in your heart.
Always play your part.
Chorus:
Let’s be insane!
Common, common, babe!
Let me feel your pain.
Let’s be insane!
Come on, come on,
Just show me.
Bite your lips for me every day.
Try to catch me – I’ll fade away!
Don’t you see my eyes in the crowd?
Just touch me – and I’ll become insane.
Pleasure together with pain
Feel it in your heart.
Always play your part.
Chorus:
Let’s be insane!
Come on, come on, babe!
Let me feel your pain.
Let’s be insane!
Come on, come on,
wait a minute what's happening
i can't think and you are already starting to scream
i was only trying to dream
ok let me hear
how you're saying that you're going away
you can't take it anymore because i'm high every goddamn day
well what can i say
i just wanted to skate along old saturn's rings tonight
sorta thought you would join me
with open arms like shooting stars
let static horizons amaze
wrapping up in flames
but now you just wanna behave
so now I see that you're taking a drink and I think that maybe now i'll be
making my case
you just stumble all over the place and then mistake it for grace
well I know that i'm doing the same
it's just every single day you try to think up all the ways to complain about
how everything's lame
i just wanted to skate along old saturn's rings tonight
sorta thought you would join me
with open arms like shooting stars
let static horizons amaze
wrapping up in flames
what a wonderful belief in yourself you're finally having
you're taking action
as submarines are flying straight out of here in yellow jackets
we're punching passes
there's roses blooming out the sides of your face
your like the elegant space all around
so get free
looming in time through the maze
living everyday
and in the ambient shine the vineyards line
a dusty twilight or anything else you admire
we're in the brilliance of light
with sunburned minds
a fleeting fortune this feeling of being alive
it gets lonely at times but everything is alright
what a terrible deceit in yourself starting to panic
up in the attic
you better throw it out the window before we get infected
you won't regret it
swirling up into a vertical drain
you're like the florescent rain all around
so get free
looming in time through the maze
living everyday
and in the ambient shine the vineyards line
a dusty twilight or anything else you admire
we're in the brilliance of light
with sunburned minds
a fleeting fortune this feeling of being alive
it gets lonely at times but everything is alright
everything is alright
life you're the light
sweet avail
lay me down 'cause i don't know how
golden eyes appear
rolling in the fields where the barley flows
in a sun drenched home
on and on you said
on and on
we're sailing to somewhere
free falling after
the elysian phonelines
tangled and baited
by the separatist soldiers
but who isn't lost
it's just the standing around just like waiting
to feel yourself without your hands
like someone else
golden eyes appear on your tight walk falling dream
but i don't know if a slumber floats
on and on you said
on and on
so sweet avail lay on down
'cause you don't know how
golden eyes appear
rolling in the fields
where the barley flows
my sun drenched home
on and on you said
