Someone's flesh is rotting tonight / Like no other to you / What you've done you cannot undo / While you sleep in earthly delight / Still, your soul will suffer this plight / Like your father in hell / What you've sold you cannot unsell /
While you sleep in earthly delight Someone s flesh is rotting tonight Like no other to you What you ve done you cannot undo While you sleep in earthly delight Still, your soul will suffer this plight But like a mother would save Her own child from digging a grave. Someone s flesh is rotting tonight Like no other to you What you ve done you cannot undo While you sleep in earthly delight Still, your soul will suffer this plight Like your father in hell What you ve sold you cannot unsell.

[Verse 1: Cardinal Copia]
You (you. )
Have never stood this close to where you want to be
You (you. )
Have always waded in the shallows
Between me and the deep blue sea
[Pre-Chorus: Cardinal Copia]
You'd never want me to appear
You never want this to be over
You never want it to reach out to the edge of time
[Chorus: Cardinal Copia]
While you sleep in earthly delight
Someone's flesh is rotting tonight
Like no other to you.
What you've done you cannot undo
[Verse 2: Cardinal Copia]
I (I. )
Have always kept you closer than you've known
I (I. )
I am riding in the shadows
Behind you on a pale white horse
[Pre-Chorus: Cardinal Copia]
You'd never want me to appear
You never want this to be over
[Chorus: Cardinal Copia]
Someone's flesh is rotting tonight
Like no other to you.
What you've done you cannot undo
While you sleep in earthly delight
Still, your soul will suffer this plight
Like your father in hell.
What you've sold you cannot unsell
[Solo: Nameless Ghouls (Fire & Aether)]
[Chorus: Cardinal Copia]
While you sleep in earthly delight
Someone's flesh is rotting tonight
Like no other to you.
What you've done you cannot undo
While you sleep in earthly delight
Still, your soul will suffer this plight
But like a mother would save.
Her own child from digging a grave
[Verse 2: Cardinal Copia]
I (I. )
Have always kept you closer than you've known
I (I. )
I am riding in the shadows
Behind you on a pale white horse

Reviews for "The Role of Russian World Cup Mascots in Promoting the Tournament"
1. John - 2/5 stars - The Russian mascot world cup was a huge disappointment for me. I found the selection of mascots to be uninspired and uncreative. They were all just typical animals dressed in soccer jerseys, with nothing unique or memorable about them. Additionally, the mascots themselves didn't have much personality or charisma, which is essential for a successful mascot. Overall, I felt like the organizers of the event missed a big opportunity to create something truly exciting and engaging.
2. Emily - 3/5 stars - While I appreciate the effort put into creating the mascots for the Russian World Cup, I personally didn't find them particularly appealing. The designs felt a bit generic, and I couldn't connect with any of the characters on an emotional level. I believe mascots should be able to evoke a sense of joy and excitement, but unfortunately, these mascots didn't achieve that for me. I think there was a lack of creativity and originality in their creation. Overall, it was a decent attempt, but I've seen better mascots in previous World Cups.
3. Michael - 2/5 stars - I have to admit, I was quite disappointed with the Russian mascots for the World Cup. They lacked the charm and creativity that I've seen in previous tournaments. The designs were bland and generic, and they didn't seem to have any unique attributes or characteristics. I was hoping for mascots that would capture the spirit of Russian culture and history, but instead, we got forgettable animals in soccer uniforms. As a lover of mascots, I expected more from the Russian World Cup organizers.
