I heard of a man, a legend of old, who searched for a heart he could hold

All through the land, his story was told, passed down through all the lonely souls

So if you want to hear, lend your ear and I'll tell you

The story of a warrior who fought the fight of love

With every wonky war he raised his sword and marched to tears and fight

Though his rose left and broken, he arose with hope inside his heart

Right through the sky, cause now they tell the story of a warrior

Who fought the fight, who fought the fight of love

Through fire and rain, his heart set ablaze

No matter the pain, he set his soul on fire

Held his head up higher

When you hear his name, they'll say I'll tell you the story of a warrior

Who fought the fight of love

With every wound he wore

He raised his sword and marched through tears

And I know his foes, not the broken

He arose with hope inside his heart

Right through the scars

Now they tell the story of a warrior

Who fought the fight

Who fought the fight of love

To the ends of the world, I'd fight for your heart I'd wage endless wars for you

And when arrows rain, I won't be afraid I'll do what I must do

Cause what is this life if not a fight

And what is a fight if not for love

Till my enemies lie and die soar until I'm bold

I'm once laid to a thousand falls to hold you close I'll bring everything for you

And if it cost my life, I'd pay the price

Cause you're the million ones

Though my enemies storm, I swear that I'll soldier through Ten thousand foes for you

Though we're oceans apart, till you're in my arms I'd sell the farthest heat I don't fear the blue,

I fear a life without you

And if I'm doomed, that's the fate I choose

Cause what is this life if not a fight?

And what is a fight if not for love?

Till my enemies lie in dust or until I'm born

I once laid to a thousand falls to hold you close I'd bring everybody for you

And if it cost my life, I'd pay the price

Cause you're worth a million, no Though my enemy storm,

I swear that I'll soldier through Till I've been at this time,

I fight until I break through 10 ,000 falls for you

She was the wind, I was a flame

My fire was dying

The embers called your name

You Pulled me in, just like the waves

You bend my heart in every kind of way

She said, boy, if you leave

Would you promise to me

You'll hold on to this and never let it go I said,

as long as I live I can never forget I hope

that you know I feel you in the air I pray the earth beneath my feet

The fire in my bones

Like the water's deep

You're fooling me I know you'll never let me go

You're in the image I feel the image

Leap down inside my soul

You're in the air I prayed in everything,

my love She was the moon, I was the sun

She took my light and reflected it till dawn

You pulled me in, just like the tide

Yeah, it comes in ways, but the feeling never dies

She said, boy, you can breathe

Close your eyes and you'll see I never left you,

never let you go I said as long as I live I can never forget I hope

that you know I feel you in the air I breathe the earth beneath my feet

The fire in my bones

Like the water's deep

You're fooling me I know you'll never let me go

You're in the evidence I feel the evidence

Deep down inside my soul

You're in the air I breathe in everything,

my love I see happy ever after

When I look in your eyes

There's no need for scripts and actors

Our fairy tale is life

We're the king and queen

You're the beauty to my beast, we make quite the scene

Darling, this love is something like a Disney movie

Sparks fly off the screen I wish upon a star is standing right in front of me

There's magic in the air but darling, this ain't make -believe

Cause the happy ending starts with you and me

Our love is a moment I'm taking in the beauty

There's magic in the air but darling

This ain't make -believe

Cause the happy ending starts with you and me

It felt like happy ever after

The day you walked in my life

Hollywood could never capture

How good you look tonight

And when you wish on a star

You get to be where we are In the middle of a fairy tale

My girl, all love is Something like a Disney movie

Sparks fly off the screen I wish upon a star is standing right in front of me

There's magic in the air

But darling, this ain't make -believe

Cause the happy ending starts with you and me

Our love is a movie I'm taking in the beauty

There's magic in the air but darling

This ain't make -believe

100

Cause the happy ending starts with you and me

101

Cause the happy ending starts with you and me

102

You're the fairest in all of the land

103

Many of kings and their kingdoms are far for your hand

104

And I know I'm no royal man

105

But if I could give you the world with my paper and pen I'd write all night, lyrics and rhymes

106

Tracing these lines through Sing these words to the sky

107

Hoping they find you

108

Darling, you're a queen

109

And I'm just a poet, writing these songs

110

Hoping you'll notice, notice me

111

Cause I'm just a helpless fool for you I miss love,

112

took my hands on them

113

Died and I seek the kingdom come

114

You're a queen, and I'm just a poet

115

Writing a new song for you

116

As long as my heart has a beat

117

There's not a tower too high for these rhythms to reach I'll scale these walls just like notes on a string

118

Sing songs in your halls till you hear symphonies I'd write all night lyrics and rhymes

119

Tracing these lines through Sing these words to the sky

120

Hoping they find you

121

Darling, you're a queen

122

And I'm just a poet writing these songs

123

Hoping you'll notice

124

Notice me Cause I'm just a helpless wolf I like this love

125

So my hands are numb

126

Darling, I'll sing to your kingdom come

127

You're a queen, then I'm just a poet writing these songs for you

128

Till the day these castle walls come down

129

Like Jericho, I'll be singing out

130

Till the day your heart can hear this sound I'll write this love,

131

so my hands are down

132

Darling, I'll sing to your kingdom come

133

You're a queen

134

And I'm just a poet writing a song for you

135

You got that kind of glare that makes me stop and stare I know you're unaware,

136

but girl, you take the air out of my lungs

137

It isn't fair I crumble into pieces when you're near,

138

you're mine I do so, I'm frozen every time I look at you,

139

love Every night I try to make a move, but It's like I always turn to stone,

140

whoa Just one look in your eyes, the night that lies

141

Every sign by you, love

142

My Medusa I wish I had the nerve to tell you how I feel I wish I had the words

143

But when you're really here, I always play it off

144

Why can't I talk?

145

I crumble in the pieces when you're near

146

You're mine, mine, you

147

So I'm frozen every time I look at you

148

Love, every night I try to make a move

149

But it's like I always turn to stone

150

Whoa, just start making noise

151

And I feel like every time I know you

152

Love, my medicine

153

Ooh, my medicine Medusa Just wanna make a noise

154

And up your lies

155

Every time I am My,

156

my Medusa Sailed the endless tides

157

Looking far in line

158

Trying to fill the hole

159

Buried deep inside I was out of hope

160

Till I looked in your eyes

161

Swear my world did up

162

The moment you arrived

163

Been looking for the one

164

And you're the missing piece

165

Oh me, I searched the bar to see

166

And everything between us

167

Feels like treasure then I see the moment we like that I felt it deep inside of me

168

You're my menacing peace

169

Though my boat may shake out upon the blue I don't hear the waves,

170

cause they led me to you I felt it in my chest, the moment we aligned

171

Till my final breath, I'll love you all my life

172

Been looking for the one, and you're the missing piece

173

Of me, I searched above the sea

174

And everything between us feels like treasure

175

Then I see, the moment came like that I felt it deep inside of me

176

You're my missing piece

177

You're the missing piece of me I search the farthest sea

178

And everything between us feels like treasure that I seek

179

The moment we locked us I felt it deep inside of me

180

You're my missing piece I heard that there's a carnivore

181

The music there is loud, the lights are wonderful

182

No one makes it out, they welcome you with grins

183

But once you're in, you will never be the same again

184

Let the games begin

185

Let the games begin

186

You can see the show,

187

anytime you like

188

When you feel alone, that's when they arrive

189

Knocking on your door, calling in the night

190

How could you ignore, such a lovely time

191

Lights and prizes everywhere you look

192

Anything to keep you hooked

193

Empty smiles everywhere you turn

194

Not a single lesson learned I heard that there's a carnival

195

The music there is loud, the lights are wonderful

196

No one makes it up, they welcome you with grins

197

But once you're in, you will never be the same again

198

Let the games begin

199

Let the games begin

200

They welcome you with grins

201

But once you're in You will never be the same

202

No, you will never be the same again

203

I was a kid looking for love, full of hope inside

204

But time was never kind to me, my heart grew cold as ice

205

All out of luck, thought I was stuck alone for all my life

206

But I was proven wrong the moment I looked in your eyes

207

It's true, until I'm in the grave

208

Darling, I love you for a thousand years, dear Tell me something when I'm here with you

209

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh Oh!

210

But I feel, feel those memories that disappear with you

211

Till I turn into dust, I'll carry the summer down

212

For a thousand years

213

Summer is soon, something will bloom like a lotus flower

214

The bluest moon will soon be sun, then turn to golden hope

215

Hours and days, lost in your gaze, losing track of time

216

Learning how to slow it down, appreciate our lives, just know

217

Until I'm in the grave, darling I love you

218

For a thousand years, dear

219

Tell me nothing when I'm here with you

220

Ooh, all my fears, tears, those memories, they disappear with you

221

Ooh, till I turn to dust,

222

I can't raise the slur of my tears For a thousand years

223

Set it all on fire, let it burn her pride

224

Love is a flame that's dancing away to David playing on a liar

225

Set it all on fire, let the smoke go high

226

Cause darling I love you for a thousand years

227

Dear, time is nothing when I'm here with you

228

All my fears, tears, those memories that disappear with you

229

Till they lose my arms, will things break the hold in me

230

Till I'm torn up to dust,

231

I can't raise the sun but More a thousand years

232

Light, dark, sides of his heart Waging a war in his soul

233

They say he's destined for great Burdened by all of their hopes

234

Destiny, whispering, when people hear of his name

235

They call him the chosen one, the loaded gun

236

The one to bear the way

237

Through trial and pain, his path was paved A prisoner of fate

238

He's just a man, trying to stand

239

Under the weight of the world

240

Nobody knows the burden he holds

241

There's nowhere to run for the chosen one

242

Some say what makes a man great

243

Is all in the choices he makes

244

But somewhere deep in my bones I've always known it was fate

245

Tile of tragedy

246

With memories Fire that won't fade away

247

It was destiny Whispering When people hear of his name

248

They call him

249

The chosen one

250

The loaded gun

251

The one to bear the way

252

Through trial and pain, his path was paved A prisoner of fate

253

He's just a man, trying to stand

254

Under the weight of the world

255

Nobody knows the burden he holds

256

There's nowhere to run

257

For the chosen one Amen.

What is the Shadowing Technique?

Shadowing is a science-backed language learning technique originally developed for professional interpreter training and popularized by polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. The method is simple but powerful: you listen to native English audio and immediately repeat it out loud — like a shadow following the speaker with just a 1–2 second delay. Unlike passive listening or grammar drills, shadowing forces your brain and mouth muscles to simultaneously process and reproduce real speech patterns. Research shows it significantly improves pronunciation accuracy, intonation, rhythm, connected speech, listening comprehension, and speaking fluency — making it one of the most effective methods for IELTS Speaking preparation and real-world English communication.
