0:07:40 > 0:07:42Brave.
0:07:44 > 0:07:49But he must have been scared sometimes though, yeah?
0:07:49 > 0:07:53He told me before he went away that he was scared of dying.
0:07:55 > 0:07:59But he also used to say that he was terrified of not living.
0:07:59 > 0:08:03Some people think they're the same thing.
0:08:03 > 0:08:06They're not.

0:08:56 > 0:09:01# A need to find was the original curse
0:09:01 > 0:09:06# I was born from a love within
0:09:06 > 0:09:11# And to waste was the original sin
0:09:11 > 0:09:15# There are no answers in the universe. #
