Ōta (太田市, Ōta-shi?) is a city 50 miles northwest of Tokyo, in eastern Gunma prefecture, Japan. This city is located between the Tone and Watarase rivers. As a result, the new city reached a total population of 219,789, making it the third most populous city in Gunma.
Ōta's leading industry is manufacturing, centered in the southeast part of the city. Ōta leads the prefecture in manufacturing revenue, which exceeds ¥1.3 trillion annually. It is the home of the car manufacturer Subaru, a subsidiary of Fuji Heavy Industries, Ltd. However, the northern part of Ōta is characterized by its farms, most of which produce rice. Also, Ōta is a major transportation hub in the Tomo (Eastern Gunma) region and the home of the Sanyo Wild Knights rugby team.
The city became a special city on April 1, 2007 (the neighboring city, Isesaki also became a special city on the same day).
The city's name was taken from Ōtajuku (太田宿?). The original city of Ōta lasted from May 31, 1948 until March 27, 2005. The mayor of the new city of Ōta is Masayoshi Shimizu, the last mayor of the original city of Ōta. During the years before World War II, airplane production was the industrial mainstay of Ōta. After the war, much of the skills and technology used in the production of aircraft was redirected into the production of automobiles.
It's just the strangest thing
I've seen your face somewhere
An early evening dream
A past-life love affair
Do you know me at all?
Do you know me at all?
In all my revelry
I thought I felt us there
A feather in my hand
A flower in your hair
Do you know me at all?
Do you know me at all?
Do you know me at all?
Verse:
I know a man from Galilee
If you're in sin He'll set you free
He's the one that will save your soul
Heal your body and make you whole
Chorus:
Oh, do you know Him?
Bridge:
I know a man from Galilee,
if you're in sin He'll set you free.
He's the one that will save your soul,
Heal your body and make you whole,
heal your body and make you whole,
He's the one that delivered me,
loosed my shackles and set me free,
loosed my shackles and set me free.
Vamp 1:
Do you know Him,
do you know my Jesus?
Vamp 2:
Do you know Him?
He slips in through the back door,
And he helps himself to the patients' medicine.
And he likes to look important.
And he always looks like he's impotent.
And each tale that he tells of the lives that he's saved,
Is a spade full of dirt as he's digging his grave.
And the deep blackened hallow he's patched with a badge,
Is the happiness he's never had.
And he says,
"It's all right, they know me here.
It's all right, they know me, they know me."
His flames are yesterday's tinsel,
And his belly's the sail that propels him,
Onto the rocks.
And you know that even the noble Don Quixote would,
Call him a mile away for a windmill.
And each Sunday that passes he's rid of his sins,
And he's ready to do them all over again.
And God won't be mad for the money he stole,
he put some in the offering bowl.
And he says,
"It's all right, they know me here.
It's all right, they know me, they know me."
Soon comes the moment that all souls await,
Just as sure as St. Peter will padlock the gate.
But deep in his wallet's a shiny new coin,
So, he turns and he winks and says,
"It's all right, they know me here.
It's all right, they know me, they know me.
It's all right, they know me here.
It's all right, they know me, they know me."
Devils, for liars, put brands on the fires
And everyone burns, with your glowing, red name on it.
Finally, you've come to a place where they,
I know a man from Galilee
If you're in sin He'll set you free
Oh, do you know Him
Son of David, seed of Abraham
Stone hued out of the mountain
He's a meek and humble Lamb
Oh, do you know Him
Billows roll breakers dash
I don't sway He holds me fast
Dark clouds dim the sky
But that's alright
Jesus is nigh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Do you know Him
Do you know Jesus
Do you know Him
Do you know Jesus
Do, do you know
Do you
Do you know Jesus
Know the Man who set me free from sin, Jesus
Know the Man who was born in Bethlehem, Jesus
I wanna know
Do, do you know
Do you
I’ve walked the maze of the confused,
Found myself climbing the wall of illusion,
Over the edge into despair,
My desperation embracing delusion.
Left with a hole in my heart,
Lost, like a runaway child in the dark,
There, at the end of my rope, I found my hope.
Out of the fire the springs there desire to know him,
In my dark hour he brings me the power to know him…
To know him more.
I face the wall of life’s façade,
Sometimes still wincing at my own reflection,
But now I see with different eyes, and catch a glimpse
of the Father’s perfection.
Drawing me into his light, out of the flames of my
deepest of night,
Into eternity’s arms I run.
Out of the fire the springs there desire to know him,
In my dark hour he brings me the power to know him…
To know him more.
Out of the fire the springs there desire to know him,
In my dark hour he brings me the power to know him,
Out of the fire the springs there desire to know him,
In my dark hour he brings me the power to know him,
Out of the fire the springs there desire to know him,
(out of the fire)
In my dark hour he brings me the power to know him,
Out of the fire the springs there desire to know him,
(out of the fire)
I'm a killing machine
A superior being
I'm a diamond of hate
The son of catastrophes
I'm the warrior of hope
I'm the king of your soul
I'm the holder of one hundred thousand legacies
Middle Verse
I'll fight here
Nocturnal form
And where no ears
Give your fear sound
Go find the strength
you showed today
Come hunt me down
I'll force you to attack
[Verse 2:]
I feel beyond your dim eyes
All I smell is disease
The wanton sinful neglect
Of a divine pure spirit
It's time for you to now pray
The church of sinners awaits,
now what your fear and you hate
will be unleashed upon you.
[Bridge:]
I'm falling through
The darkness of
your shattered loves
Abandoned dreams
rise again
hellish sun
Where is your god for shelter?
[Chorus:]
Do you?
Do you really think you know me?
Time and time again I live
I conquer worlds you've never seen
Do you?
Do you really think you know me?
Time and time again I die
Violent deaths in distant skies
[Verse 3:]
Alive when asleep
I'm dead when awake
I'm a wasp in a cage
But there's still no way out
I'm dangerous to know
When the moon haunts the sky
When you close your eyes
And you're locked in my nightmare
[Bridge]
[Chorus]
Middle 8
My failure
On your world. Eight shadows torment my dreams.
My victory
On my world. Cursed angels herald your death.
Your soul is seduced by their song. Look through my eyes and tell me......
Do you know me? I don't think so!
Do you know me? I don't think so!
You romanticize the dark and gloomy past
Trying to escape from the underclass
You darkened the bright and beautiful day
You're breaking my heart in every way
And tell me everything is dandy and fine
You're no friend of mine
I took you in and you stole from me
But you still got everything I need
You're walking so tall, you're looking so mean
You're walking so tall, you're looking so mean
But you tell me everything is dandy and fine
You're no friend of mine
Do you know me? I don't think so!
Do you know me? I don't think so!
You romanticize the dark and gloomy past
Trying to escape from the upper class
You darkened the bright and beautiful day
You're fucking up my head in every way
And tell me everything's dandy and fine
THEN WHY HAVEN'T I HEARD
HEARD FROM YOU BEFORE TIL NOW
SINCE I GOT A NEW JOB
BOUGHT ME A DROP TOP
PEOPLE THINKIN'THAT I'M BALLIN'AND I'M REALLY NOT
WHY YOU TRYIN'TO MAKE ME
ILLEGITAMACY
NOT A THING COMES FREE
BE GLAD I GOT MY BEST
(EVERY TIME THAT I'M VICTORIOUS)
WHY YOU WANNA TALK TO ME
(THERE'S A MILLION QUESTIONS SEEM TO ERUPT)
DO YOU KNOW ME
DO YOU KNOW ME
CAUSE I DON'T KNOW YOU
AND IF YOU SAY YOU KNOW ME
WHY HAVENT I HEARD
HEARD FROM YOU BEFORE TIL NOW
WHEN YOU SEE ME AROUND
AND I NEVER LOOK DOWN
DO YOU THINK IT'S CAUSE I MOVED UPTOWN
THEN YOU MIGHT BE RIGHT
CAUSE MY GAME IS TIGHT
BETTER OPEN YOUR EYES
YOU'LL NEVER SEE A CHANCE
IF YOU CAN'T SEE MINES
(EVERY TIME THAT I'M VICTORIOUS)
WHY YOU WANNA TALK TO ME
(THERE'S A MILLION QUESTIONS SEEM TO ERUPT)
DO YOU KNOW ME
I NEVER SEEN YOU UNTIL I MADE IT
WHERE WERE YOU WHEN A SISTA WAS WAITIN'
I KNOW I'VE SEEN YOUR FACE BEFORE
WHY ARE YOU KNOCKIN'ON MY DOOR
