haunted.at — an atmosphere compendium
haunt.atThen it runs like peace through your chest, 's sounds like a song, from times long past it rushes through your mind. 's is Feieromd etc. Some people's hearts have been lost, over is sorrow and pain, and over the grave, very gently drifts, a sound from over there.
The extent to which every single one of these guys has absolutely no idea what the fuck they're talking about is frankly stunning. You should be embarrassed to go out in public and spout shit like this. It should scar your soul and make you weep in shame, but that requires introspection, so...shit.
