The City of Davao, the de facto capital of Mindanao (Cebuano: Dakbayan sa Dabaw ; Tagalog: Lungsod ng Dabaw ; Spanish: Ciudad de Davao) is the largest city in the island of Mindanao in the Philippines. Its international airport and seaports are among the busiest cargo hubs in the Philippines.
Davao City is also one of several cities in the Philippines that are independent of any province. The city serves as the regional center of Davao Region (Region XI) and the metropolitan center of Metro Davao. It has a population of 1,449,296 according to 2010 NSO Census, making it the country's largest city outside Metro Manila and the second overall with the cities of Metro Manila combined. In recent years, Davao City has emerged as the financial-capital, investment and tourism hub for the entire southern Philippines. The City Mayors Foundation ranks Davao City as the 87th fastest growing city in the world, and it has been listed by the Foreign Direct Investment Magazine as the 10th "Asian City of the future".
Fail the trial
Place new bets
On the other side of regret
Fool the cheat
Kill what's left
On virgin ground
Redeemed
Fragile bliss shows stress within
Live the nightmare
Be aware
One last call
A final scare
This is what's left
Grinding my way through the blackened skies
This is the moment I've come to despise
Machinery fuels the flame to life
Organic shape will pacify
And all our pain falls back on sorrow
Bleed with me
Fading image mirrors life
Reflects my inner strength
Born insane, anomaly
On dying ground
Grinding my way through its blackened skies
This is the moment I've come to despise
Machinery fuels the flame to life...
Fallen from grace
Now standing tall
Draining what's left
No one expected this failure
Time has come, behold
This is the moment I've come to despise
Machinery fuels the flame to life...
Grinding our way through its blackened veins
