Cardiff (i/ˈkɑːrdɪf/; Welsh: Caerdydd [kairˈdiːð, kaˑɨrˈdɨːð]) is the capital and largest city in Wales and the tenth largest city in the United Kingdom. The city is the country's chief commercial centre, the base for most national cultural and sporting institutions, the Welsh national media, and the seat of the National Assembly for Wales. The unitary authority area's mid-2011 population was estimated to be 346,100, while the population of the Larger Urban Zone was estimated at 861,400 in 2009. Cardiff is part of the Cardiff and south Wales valleys metropolitan area of about 1,100,000 people. Cardiff is a significant tourist centre and the most popular visitor destination in Wales with 18.3 million visitors in 2010. In 2011, Cardiff was ranked sixth in the world in National Geographic's alternative tourist destinations.
The city of Cardiff is the county town of the historic county of Glamorgan (and later South Glamorgan). Cardiff is part of the Eurocities network of the largest European cities. The Cardiff Urban Area covers a slightly larger area outside the county boundary, and includes the towns of Dinas Powys and Penarth. A small town until the early 19th century, its prominence as a major port for the transport of coal following the arrival of industry in the region contributed to its rise as a major city.
This fluid feels like pain
This stoic mood is all in vain
I reached into the dark
I tear this other me apart
How many years ago?
How many deaths I can't let go?
My flesh is temporary
My God, extraordinary
You can't kill my mind
A man delivered can never
Make his way in darkness
I know tonight will end
But I won't give this life away again
Sifting through this same debris
Oh, my Father, call to me
This smoke is in my blood
This home is just no good
Save me from my bitterness
Give me up, I did my best
Shock this system full of shit
Lock this fucker lost in it
You can't kill my mind
A man delivered can never
Make his way in darkness
I know tonight will end
But I won't give this life away
But I won't give this life away again
A man surrendered can never
Find his own forgiveness
I know my life will end
But I won't give tonight away
I won't give tonight away again
This fluid feels like pain
This ruin feels like rain
I reach into the past
My future's fading fast
How many years ago?
How many I let go?
My flesh is all I have
My face is happenstance
This smoke is in my blood
This life is not enough
This life is not enough
