[04:07.92]To just beneath the surface [04:09.94]I'm dedicating to the service of self and to my people [04:13.48]And to never feeding the beast of unnecessary evil [04:17.24]We say the motion of [04:19.89]Take the action to display our character [04:22.29]From the first second that we start to feast [04:24.23]Until the day that we break this barrier [04:26.90]So disparaging is a civilized
