1
My King, the leaders of our allied factions have gathered as you commanded.
2
Those absent are currently engaged with the Rebels.
3
Very well.
4
Our recent victory in the Overworld has paved the way for our next phase.
5
Now I need reports on our holdings and battle lines here in the Nether.
6
Your Grace, the return of the Nether Princess has ignited morale amongst the Rebels.
7
However, the subjugation of the Crimson Wastes remains effective.
8
AH!
9
We've also crushed them rebels across the Basalt Deltas and War Forests!
10
However...
11
Lookouts say they've spotted beauty blue skeletons in the area!
12
What are they planning?!
13
The Blaze Kingdom remains divided.
14
We continue the burn traders who dare challenge the Imperial Authority.
15
However, I fear the rebellion grows ever stronger.
16
How come you're all so afraid of one girl and her band of deserters?
17
You underestimate them cause you've never fought them.
18
We already lost control of the Piglin Kingdom and now they've joined forces with the rebels.
19
We demand reinforcements before this spirals out of control.
20
I agree with them, my lord.
21
It'd be wise to momentarily halt our conquest in the overworld and reassign some of our other forces to other friends.
22
This is a wound we can't allow to fester- No!
23
We already have the Frostborn on the run!
24
They're at their weakest.
25
Their morale is broken.
26
We must overwhelm them with everything we have from this point on.
27
I will not take a step backward when the total annihilation of our foes is within our grasp.
28
But my lord, the wither angels failed to do any meaningful damage to them.
29
Their hubris led them to their inevitable defeat.
30
Their leader was found in lava and is now under our necromancer's care.
31
They were merely a distraction to pull Frostburn's forces away from the front lines.
32
You'll find soon enough when we attack their outer territories.
33
But we can't just ignore the princess.
34
This would have serious consequences.
35
I shall hear no more complaints.
36
The rest of you are dismissed except for you, Abolion.
37
You will join us in the overworld.
38
The Wither Knights will swap places with your army to deal with the Soulfire blazes.
39
Your talents will find more use against foes actually weak to fire.
40
Ugh.
41
Understood, my lord.
42
Very well.
43
Proceed with the necessary preparations.
44
For the first time in Nether history, we are on the verge of overworld domination.
45
The Frostborn still cower behind their walls, thinking their impressive technology could stop us.
46
But times have changed.
47
Now we march alongside beasts capable of tearing through their war machines.
48
I will burn this pitiful road to ashes and rebuild it!
49
In the image of our great Nether Empire!
50
Another day starting off with a panic attack I try to
51
keep my cool cause I know they want me to react But I don't got the luxury of holding back
52
I try to reason and I try to keep my words in my mouth I get excited
53
and you know I love when they come back out
54
But you have never been me and you don't know what I'm about Yeah
55
On and on I've ruled on through the storm No way around it,
56
now I'm surrounded Don't know what for Come back to waterfall,
57
don't over the edge at the last we saw Missing for a thousand years,
58
the memories can't keep you here Come back to sins of time, this is real life, we can't hit it,
59
we burn Life is like a waterfall, we drift away and that is all
60
Situations come around where there's no in between You gotta try
61
to get up before you get pulled in too deep Cause once you're down there you'll be begging on your knees
62
I really need to take a minute, my heart beating so fast You really gotta take a moment, think before you react You gotta let it go and you know that's a fact
63
On and on we've ruled on through the storm No way around it,
64
no ass around it Don't know what for All in all we hold on for the hope We'll never find it,
65
life's way behind it Don't know how far I'm like a waterfall Gone over the edge,
66
that's the last we saw Missing for a thousand years The
67
memories can't keep you here Gone like the sands of time This is real life,
68
we can't hear it, we burn Life is like a waterfall We drift away and that is all
69
Coming up to the edge, we're falling You can hear heaven's door is knocking And there's not much we can't do to stop it
70
Ending up in the cold so often
71
That's the final nail in the coffin And there's not much we can do to stop it
72
I'm like the waterfall
73
Gone over the edge at the last resort
74
Missing for a thousand years The memories can't keep you here Gone like the sands of time This is real life,
75
we get it if we run Life is like a waterfall,
76
we drift away and that is all Coming up to the edge of falling,
77
you can hear the windstorm is knocking And there's not much we can do to stop it
78
Ending up in the cold so often, that's the final nail in the coffin And there's not much we can do to stop it

Wat is de Shadowing-techniek?
Shadowing is een wetenschappelijk onderbouwde taalleermethode die oorspronkelijk is ontwikkeld voor professionele tolkentraining en gepopulariseerd door polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. De methode is eenvoudig maar krachtig: je luistert naar native Engelse audio en herhaalt het onmiddellijk hardop — als een schaduw die de spreker volgt met slechts 1–2 seconden vertraging. In tegenstelling tot passief luisteren of grammaticadrills, dwingt shadowing je hersenen en mondspieren om echte spraakpatronen tegelijkertijd te verwerken en te reproduceren. Onderzoek toont aan dat het de uitspraaknauwkeurigheid, intonatie, ritme, verbonden spraak, luisterbegrip en spreekvaardigheid aanzienlijk verbetert — waardoor het een van de meest effectieve methoden is voor IELTS Speaking-voorbereiding en echte Engelse communicatie.
