Oh my GOd, you are a dangerous lover!
Yeah my man, you better run for cover!
Oh my GOd, you are a dangerous lover!
Oh you were wrong, the king fell from his tower!
Oh you were wrong, the king fell from his tower!
Yeah my man, you better run for cover!
Oh you were wrong, the king fell from his tower!
Is it loud enough to shake you?
Friend you've been warned
You've been told from behind the door
Scream
Scream it loud
Sing it out
Make your lover proud!
Scream
Scream it loud

Gospel of Matthew, chapter 24, verse 3.
“And he said, Take heed that ye be not deceived: for many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and the time draweth near: go ye not therefore after them. But when ye shall hear of wars and commotions, be not terrified: for these things must first come to pass; but the end is not by and by. Then said he unto them, Nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and great earthquakes shall be in divers places, and famines, and pestilences; and fearful sights and great signs shall there be from heaven.”

And then shall they see the Son of man coming in a cloud with power and great glory. And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh.”

Very few leaders command the respect and admiration from, and earn the love of other leaders and nations the way the late Queen did. She was truly an exceptional leader. She will be missed and remembered fondly.

Luka Nurijanyan
How quickly 1 year passed after her death 🖤 It’s sad... so many great things she did. She was a real queen 👑 in the history of the reign of the Monarchy and the longest reigning. She successfully ruled for 70 years ✅ and showed the world how to live, manage, smile and rejoice. ☺ during her long reign, so many things have changed in the world🌏 but she always remained unchanged. 🌟Her unforgettable smile, handshakes 🤝 waves, and her bag... She was simply the face of Great Britain 🇬🇧 She was a legend and a magnificent woman. 💎🕯💙

She was a bit of a twirp, to be fair
Bayous Bambino
She was the facce of the United Kingdom; Great Britain is just the island that houses Scotland and England. She was also the face of 32 countries through her reign; 15 when she died, including Canada, Australia, Belize, New Zealand, Jamaica, St Kitts and Nevis, Tuvalu, St Vincent and the Grenadines, Papua New Guinea, and so on.
