So…no (as of yet) physical CD? The stones on some people…
This soundtrack had better be damn wonderful, do you hear me? I’m deciding to pay you mortals for it…despite the fact that I’m taking over Midgard and I DO WHAT I WANT.
Time is £, feeble race. Two more days you’re having your king wait.
I will never kneel before you!
