To my readers,

The translated version of the song that Colette sings, it's the version known by the Church of Martel, Kratos knows another version that I might translate over after I've recovered from this. Angelic kinda twists the brain around after you've written it for too long. Anyways here's the song (most of it anyways, I cut out the spoiler part/Kratos' version, this version that will crop up in Shards chapter 25 and this submission is to cut off the series of "what's it mean you didn't translate it?" that I'm going to get from readers.) I've got a lot more grey in my head after writing this… now I'm going to focus on something lighter for a while so I don't hurt my wits. As you can tell after reading this… I'm not too musically inclined... grumbles three weeks translating... three weeks... spaces aren't working BTW, so I had to mark each section.
