The Power Of Desire


It's just a shame, you play this game,
Because I want you by my side.
I feel your fire, you take me higher,
But you don't talk to me tonight.



You know, I can't let you go,
You fill my darkness with your light.
You know, I'm ready to go.
Hold on tight
Tonight...



It's just the power of desire.
Listen to the heartbeat of the night!
I feel the passion of your fire,
So baby take my hand and hold on tight!



It's just the power of desire.
And we're moving closer to the flame!
I feel the passion of your fire,
So tell me, can you hear me call your name?



And we fly to the stars,
To the Moon and walk on Mars.
Take my hand,
Just let go, I'll show you forever!
It's just the power of desire.




With me and night, it's shining bright,
As we're moving to the heat.
You take my skin, we'll always win
Just like a flashback to the beat!



You know, I can't let you go,
You fill my darkness with your light.
You know, I'm ready to go!
Hold on tight
Tonight...!



It's just the power of desire.
Listen to the heartbeat of the night!
I feel the passion of your fire,
So baby take my hand and hold on tight!



It's just the power of desire.
And we're moving closer to the flame!
I feel the passion of your fire,
So tell me can you hear me call your name?



And we fly to the stars,
To the Moon and walk on Mars.
Take my hand,
Just let go, I'll show you forever!
It's just the power of desire.



You know, I can't let you go,
You fill my darkness with your light.
You know, I'm ready to go!
Hold on tight!!
Tonight!!!



It's just the power of desire.
Listen to the heartbeat of the night!
I feel the passion of your fire,
So baby take my hand and hold on tight!



It's just the power of desire.
And we're moving closer to the flame!
I feel the passion of your fire,
So tell me can you hear me call your name?



And we fly to the stars,
To the Moon and walk on Mars.
Take my hand,
Just let go,
I'll show you forever!



It's just the power of desire.



S.O.S.



Sleepless nights, I'm lying awake
Heaven up off to whiskey and you
Lusting love, I have it to break
I don't have what it takes, to get through



So I tried to call you, on the telephone
I'm waiting for others although that is wrong
And I know us like, to be lusting tonight
On a real romance, give me just one more chance



I'm sending an S.O.S.
A love that is mistake to your heart




I'm sending an S.O.S.
Sinking and falling apart



Deja vu, can't take anymore
Lying twisted and marooned by love
Can't deny, is our love true
Like a drug man can't get enough



So I tried to call you, on the telephone
I'm waiting for others although that is wrong
And I know us like, to be lusting tonight
On a real romance, give me just one more chance



I'm sending an S.O.S.
A love that is mistake to your heart
I'm sending an S.O.S.
Sinking and falling apart



I'm sending an S.O.S.
A love that's a mistake to your heart
I'm sending an S.O.S.
Sinking and falling apart



So I tried to call you, on the telephone
I'm waiting for others although that is wrong
And I know us like, to be lusting tonight
On a real romance, give me just one more chance



I'm sending an S.O.S.
A love that is mistake to your heart
I'm sending an S.O.S.
Sinking and falling apart



I'm sending an S.O.S.
A love that's a mistake to your heart
I'm sending an S.O.S.
Sinking and falling apart!

ISML 2019: Rin Tohsaka wins Topaz Necklace

ISML 2019: Rin Tohsaka wins Topaz Necklace
Riku Dola wins Topaz Pendant

By Jo-Ryan Salazar
The Bedlam on Baltic Avenue
August 30, 2019

Listed as a 10-1 dark horse, Rin Tohsaka won the 2019 International Saimoe League Topaz Necklace, defeating longshot Sagiri Izumi 13380-12266, meaning that Izumi becomes the Challenger of Record for the Amethyst Period in the Female Division. Kurumi Tokisaki was third with 6611 votes, Mashiro Shiina was fourth with 4705 votes, Yukino Yukinoshita had 4207 votes to finish fifth, Schwi Dola had 3354 votes to finish sixth, Emilia was seventh with 2842 votes and Mai Sakurajima held up the rear with 2245 votes, putting her in grave danger of being the one character to make all the necklace rounds but not win a single one.

Schwi's brother Riku fared much better. A 40-1 longshot, he prevailed over 5-1 second choice Levi 10870-10105 to win the Topaz Pendant. Eugeo, a 50-1 choice, put up a surprisingly strong standing with 7267 votes to finish third. Sakuta Azusagawa once again outperformed his partner with 5601 votes to finish fourth. Archer was fifth with 4450 votes, Kiyotaka Ayanakouji turned out to be completely overrated with a dismal sixth place with with 3344 votes, Taki Tachibana was seventh with 2531 votes and Yuuta Togashi held up the read with 1586 votes.

Advancing to the Amethyst Period via wildcard in the Female Division were Ichigo (9574), Yui Hirasawa (9959), Ai Haibara (9656), Eriri Spencer Sawamura (9932), Nero Claudius (9610), Iroha Isshiki (10354), Nephren Ruq Insania (10385) and Rachel Gardner (9616). On the men's side, Ken Kaneki (8866), Erwin Smith (8366), Joutarou Kuujou (8036), Kousei Arima (8467), Neutrophil (8544), Lancer (8910), Sasuke Uchiha (8069) and Sakamoto (8076) advance.

Despite ISML veterans Shinobu Oshino (10970), Ram (11972), Aqua (11712) and Hitagi Senjougahara (11648) qualifying for the Spring seasonal tournament, neither is the favorite. That honor belongs to Fumino Furahashi, with 13079 votes to be the top vote getter. Other newcomers making their first appearance in the show via Spring seasonal include Mafuyu Kirisu (12417), Nezuko Kamado (12442) and Nanako Yukishiro (11574). Overall, the Spring tourney is a mix of old and new faces and should be worth keeping tabs on in the Amethyst Period.
