13 men stand on 13 hills
In their pockets they each hold 13 dollar bills
13 women in 13 cells
At the 13th hour they each ring 13 bells

I've got something, and what about this?
Do you know what it is?
Do you think you understand?
Ha ha ha!

7 million in 7 banks
Yield 7 words of english more than thanks
7 soldiers drive 7 tanks
To the 7th place where everyone gives thanks

I've got something, and what about this?
Do you know what it is?
Do you think you understand?
Ho ho ho!

Cause if you think
that it all makes no sense
it's the song for the dense

E-t-c-e-t-e-r-a
E-t-c-e-t-e-r-a
E-t-c-e-t-e-r-a
E-t-c-e-t-e-r-a

30 million in 30 states
They all earn more so they get charged higher rates
30 biscuits on 30 plates
Different colors cause they were made on different dates

I've got something, and what about this?
Do you know what it is?
Do you think you understand?
Hee hee hee!

Cause if you think
that it all makes no sense
it's the song for the dense

Ahhhhhhhhhhh, whoa whoa whoa-oh-whoa....

    notice the first person linked on the page has something to do with poetry and song, and the second with linguistics and communication ;)

The Last Dance
Within Temptation
@[Kahiara:35260] Actually I think the husband passed away, "She sang for you last night She heard you were calling" Many people say they have felt, heard, or seen their loved ones after they have passed. "Don't be scared now Close your eyes She holds guard tonight Go on forward no remorse Life will take it's course" This is said to the late husband by a third part (never named), who encourages him to pass on. Because life will eventually continue. The phrase "holds guard" refers to the ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wake_(ceremony) ) which is a Christian ceremony held after someone dies. Now it is usually held right after the funeral, but in most celtiic countries the wake is held before the funeral. "She danced with you last night so you will remember All you have shared, a lifetime." This sentence feels as if the only thing it wants to convey is their history together, namely, husband and wife. For the rest it just refers back to the first verse.
