I'm a blue belt in Brazilian jiu-jitsu
Fighting my way, through the ranks I move
But these blue belt blues, they're weighin' me down
Like a weeping guitar, my heart starts to drown
I step on the mat with passion and pride
But when I roll, it's like I'm losing my stride
The higher belts, they seem to always prevail
Leaving me feelin' like I'm destined to fail
Oh, these blue belt blues, they're tearin' me apart
Like a sad, weeping guitar, playing with my heart
But I won't give up, no, I'll keep fightin' through
The blue belt blues, I'll rise above, I'll make it through

The Devil's Cut
“Comrade, finally you’re awake.” The voice was smooth, sensual. A flickering incandescent bar was all that lit the white, sterile room. All Vladimir remembered was everything going black. He tried to move his arms and found them strapped to the gurney.
