Magnanimous.
Magnanimous.
I pay sympathy to candle the stick
who burns himself to spread the light.
But I amn't fascinated with the moon
who spreads light but doesn't burn herself anon.
Very alike there are many souls
who sacrifice their lives,
for the benifit of others
and become magnanimous.
But indeed who are so generous,
to remember these noble soul?
Everyone values the glory of the Moon
and the candle stick burns himself forlorn.
