Cerium /ˈsɪəriəm/ is a chemical element with the symbol Ce and atomic number 58. It is a soft, silvery, ductile metal which easily oxidizes in air. Cerium was named after the dwarf planet Ceres (itself named for the Roman goddess of agriculture). Cerium is the most abundant of the rare earth elements, making up about 0.0046% of the Earth's crust by weight. It is found in a number of minerals, the most important being monazite and bastnasite. Commercial applications of cerium are numerous. They include catalysts, additives to fuel to reduce emissions and to glass and enamels to change their color. Cerium oxide is an important component of glass polishing powders and phosphors used in screens and fluorescent lamps. It is also very useful in flints.
Cerium is a silvery metal, belonging to the lanthanide group. It resembles iron in color and luster, but is soft, and both malleable and ductile. Cerium has the third-longest liquid range of any element: 2648 C° (795 °C to 3443 °C) or 4766 F° (1463 °F to 6229 °F). (Only thorium and neptunium have longer liquid ranges.)

Once I was a ship out on the sea
so many miles from home
I felt so small, so lost and insecure
everything was wrong
But I'm alive, I'm alive
I'm alive, yes I am
Refrain (2x):
Taking my life into my own hands
living my dreams and taking the chance
walking my talk and making romance
Living my life today
Now I see the different shades of me
the writings on the wall
I'm not alone and not so insecure
I'm the one who's keeping score
I'm alive, I'm alive
I'm alive, yes I am
Refrain (2x)
I´m angry, I´m mad
I´ve lost everything I had
no one´s a liar, no one´s a thief
that´s what you want me to believe
tell mesomething I want to hesr
tell me something I want to hear
tell me something tell me something
how many times do I have to prove to you
who I am now?
´coz everytime when I get up
you´re pushing me back down, back down
tell me something I want to hear
tell me something I want to hear
got no place to rest my head
savage dreams that haunt my bed
empty frames hanging on the wall
no family pictures left at all
freezing breeze just came over me
showed me how my life can be
never ending stairs ahead of me
but I can`t go back, I can`t go back
take my thoughts away from here
where they are safe, safe from fear
take my thoughts away from here
where they are safe, safe from fear
safe from all the madness here
make my madness disappear
I don`t know
where this is going
take me away, goodbye now
make me leave, who is crying now?
take my hand and guide me now
can`t you see, I am lonely now
looking through the eyes of a child
you see the hate, you see the lies
sent a message to you
no reply, I ask you why
did we always have to fight?
open wounds and drown in spite
turn around so I can see
are you my friend, my enemy
take my thoughts away from here
where they are safe, safe from fear
take my thoughts away from here
where they are safe, safe from fear
safe from all the madness here
make my madness disappear
I don`t know
where this is going
take me away, goodbye now
make me leave, who is crying now?
take my hand and guide me now
can`t you see, I am lonely now
take-take-take-take me away
take my hand, and guide me now
can't you see, I am lonely now
take me away..
take me away..
take me away.. goodbye now
take me away, goodbye now
make me leave, who is crying now?
take my hand and guide me now
can`t you see, I am lonely now
take-take-take-take me away
take my hand and guide me now
scratching our memories off my wall
if you don´t catch me
I´m going to fall
drowning in my own tears
too scared of my, my own fears
but the tears you´ve shed
they don´t make sense
they don´t make sense
because we´ve locked
ourselves into
a selfish box
just me and you
we´re sonaiv
we couldn´t achieve
the plans we have
there is no air to breath
a thousand pictures all over my floor
no regrets, my body´s numb
I wonder what we´ve become
the tears you´ve shed
yes, they do make sense
now they do make sense
because we´ve locked
ourselves into
a selfish box
just you and me
we´re so naiv
we coudn´t achieve
the plans we´ve had
everything is drifting away
with every word that they say
games they play
a rainbow of promises
over fields of lush green grass
surrounded by nothingness
roughly mistreated, he made no protest
remained silent, anger in his chest
got nothing to live for, they don´t
understand nothing
never had love
never had guidance
all of his life he was running away
nothing to hold on to
no one who cares
this miserable life is leading nowhere
never protected, never been held
most of the time he was all by himself
so much to offer
but nobody is there
nobody is there
watching as droplets of rain
splash on his hands and the pain
embraces him
he always arrived too late
for luck, hope , joy and faith
instead he failed
roughly mistreated, he made no protest
remained silent, anger in his chest
go nothing to live for, they don´t
understand nothing
never had love
never had guidance
all of his life he was running away
nothing to hold on to
no one who cares
this miserable life is leading nowhere
never protected
never been held
most of the time he was all by himself
so much to offer
but nobodsy´s there
will all conclusions finally make some sense?
and will I finally find my true romance?
how can a little lie
spoil a thousand truths?
does every friendship does to leave a bruise?
honesty was spoiled by jealousy
so appreciate
it can never be too late
to step outof these lost and hopeless masses
it can never be too late
to hold on in this world that often crashes
like I do
how many people have to leave
their lives
for the words of a dumb man wearing a suite and tie?
and if you always think what you always thought
you will always get what you always got
jealousy has ruined our families
so approciate
it can never be too late
to step out of these lost and hopeless masses
it can never be too late
take a look around, take a look around
and tell me how it feels now
tell me how it feels now
can you hear the sound
can you hear the sound?
there are children in the backyard
playing in the backyard
I was lost and now I am found
I am so lost and I am still not found
left or right, right or wrong
empty thoughts in an empty song
I am here you are there
why did you leave?
life is unfair
I can hardly eat I can hardly sleep
I coudn´t eat for days now
running down the street
I´m running down the street
looking for replacement
I´ve got to find replacement
I was lost and now I am found
I am so lost and I am still not found
left or rihgt, right or wrong
empty thoughts in an empty song
I am here, you are there
Once I was a ship out on the sea
so many miles from home
I felt so small, so lost and insecure
everything was wrong
But I`m alive, I`m alive
I`m alive, yes I am
Refrain (2x):
Taking my life into my own hands
living my dreams and taking the chance
walking my talk and making romance
Living my life today
Now I see the different shades of me

I`m not alone and not so insecure
I`m the one who`s keeping score
I`m alive, I`m alive
I`m alive, yes I am
Refrain (2x)
if you were here
if you were here with me
if you were here with me
you would say
things are better that way
but I`m alone
I`m alone out here
I`m alone out here
and I`d say
things are not better that way
where are you now?
where are you now?
I want to feel you now
please show me how
and when our worlds collide
I`ll be by your side
I want to feel you now
you`re not here
you`re not here with me
you´re not here with me
I say
things are not better that way
and I won`t give up
I`ll swallow all my foolish pride
I`ll sort out the things inside
and I say
things are much better that way
look at me now, `cause I`ve changed
look at me now, `cause I`ve changed
I want to feel you now
please show me how
and when our worlds collide
I`ll be by your side
lost my faith, have to hide
a sea of tears I`ve cried
I thought I could never live without you
but this turned out to be untrue
I`ve made a better choice
I can hear your cold voice fading
and I am fading
living like a new man
new face and new name
surviving as best I can
ripping pictures forgetting your lectures
living like a new man
with no fear and no shame
no need for me to explain
ripping pictures forgetting your lectures
I`m listening to all our favourite songs
I know that this is wrong
it reminds me of what we`ve been
through
why did it all slip away
like sand through my hands
what happened to our plans?
they are fading
and I am fading
living like a new man
new face and new name
surviving as best I can
ripping pictures forgetting your lectures
living like a new man
with no fear and no shame
no need for me to explain
between the lines I see the mistakes
I said I love you, but now I hate you
all of that means nothing to me
´coz I know what I want
I want you down
I push you up, I push you down
so down, Ilove you down
and when you try to turn away from me
I know you´re coming back
´coz you can´t live without me
no, you can´t
even though I´m the one who hurts you
I guess you like it, because I like it, I like it
I love you down
I push you up, I push you down
I never thought you could do
something like this to me
i never thought
i never thought you would fool
me like this
no,i never thought
take it back
take it back
change everything you are
hands are made for shaking
change erverything you are
but i'm not buying
how does it feel to play me like a
simple food?
how does it feel?
how does it feel to find out you're
a victim too?
how does it feel?
change everything you are
hands are made for shaking
change erverything you are
sitting around and getting wasted
watching the tube, but nothing´s on
feels like my brain is bound by ropes
days are short, nights are long
words are spoken to be broken
sudden crash
sudden fall
squeeze the life out of me
sudden trash
suddden wall
squeeze the life out of me
I´m broken... we´re broken
where are the friends that used to call me?
where are the friends I used to know?
the clock moves fast
but I´m too wasted
I feel released, but jet so old
words are spoken to be broken
sudden crash
sudden fall
squeeze the life out of me
sudden trash
sudden wall
squeeze the life out of me
thunderstruck my childish fears
I´m soacking wet, woke up in silent tears
I´m trapped in my own concerns
will I finally get to learn?
and outside it´s getting dark
too dark to see
will I find a way through this
but somehow you don´t see me
I got sore feet and blisters
can´t stop running for you
though my braeth has been taken
dragging my self up to you
worn out, tired and useless
thought of you makes me strong
I´m sure that I´ll find you
you are my home, that´s we´re I belong
I´m too weak to walk
forgot what to say, forgot how to talk
I´m closing my eyes, I wait for a while
the touch of your hand, the wamth of your smile
it´s getting dark
too dark to see
will I find a way through this?
but somehow you don´t see me
I got sore feet and blisters
can´t stop running for you
though my breath has beeen taken
dragging myself up to you
worn out, tired and uselesss
thought of you makes me stong
I´m sure that I´ll find you
Carnero Asado by Saurom[Bilbo:]
Estamos cansados
la expedición paró, la luna contagiaba
hambre y un colchón.
El humo de una hoguera
llamó nuestra atención
raudo y sigiloso me acerqué
¡¡Que tentación!!.
Pude ver tres trolls, gordos con mal olor
asando carnero, eran Guille, Berto y Tom
Les quise robar...Guille me atrapó :
Pronto discutían si me asaban vivo o no.
[Trolls:]
¡Ajo, pimienta y enano!...
en mi olla he de guisar
Despellejemos a los ladrones,
y a fabricar chicharrones.
[Bilbo:]
Las fétidas criaturas me quieren cocinar...
No llegan a un acuerdo,
pelean sin cesar.
Luego sin aliento escapé a un matorral.
Inquietos, los enanos, se acercan a ayudar...
Pero son cazados, metidos en sacos,
menos Bilbo que estaba, en un árbol,
magullado.
Discutían de nuevo:
¡¡¡¿Enanos o carnero?!!!
Riñen los marranos
y no se ponen de acuerdo
Esperanza nos trajo Gandalf e ilusión.
Confundía a los gorrinos con su voz
La noche daba paso a la fría aurora, junto
a su amanecer...
Y la luz convirtió enseguida a los trolls...¡¡En roca
