Shiny, shiny, shiny boots of leather / Whiplash girl child in the dark / Comes in bells, your servant, don't forsake him /Strike, dear mistress, and cure his heart

Downy sins of streetlight fancies / Chase the costumes she shall wear / Ermine furs adorn the imperious / Severin, Severin awaits you there

I am tired, I am weary / I could sleep for a thousand years / A thousand dreams that would awake me / Different colours made of tears.

"This is Shoko Asahara. Do your training. Do your training. Do good deeds. Do good deeds. Do your meditation. Do your meditation. The pain you are feeling is an illusion. This training will destroy the pain..."

"...the extreme willingness of adults to go to almost any lengths on the command of an authority... and without particular hostility... [to] become agents in a terrible destructive process... even when they are asked to carry out actions incompatible with fundamental standards of morality..."
