Thank you to Uri Jefferson

Aquilonia has meant so much to those  who were fortunate enough to discover it. The streets, the interiors, the hidden details—all of it has inspired awe and admiration. Uri, you brought Aquilonia to life in a way that is rare and unforgettable. Even though roleplay sims within Second Life can be difficult to sustain, Uri, your work has left a deep impression on everyone who explored its walls and walked its roads. This final song is offered as a tribute to your vision, and as a way of saying how grateful we are for the time we had in Aquilonia. 

Streets of stone, oh, I breathe the ancient air (air...)

Dogs are barking, horses twitching, life is everywhere

Graffiti sings on crumbling walls, secrets in the night

Hidden temples call to me, buildings filled with light!

Oh Uri!

You built a world of beauty beneath that Roman sky

Marble roads and towering arches, made with passion so

Your Aquilonia lives forever, more than you could know!

Every room a wonder, I stop and stare again (again… )

Sparkles of dappled light, in these lives of ancient men

… And women in the bathing houses, filled with water low

I lose myself in every room, the city makes me glow!

Oh Uri!

You built a world of beauty beneath that Roman sky

Marble roads and towering arches, made with passion so

Your Aquilonia lives forever, more than you could know!

Step by step, heartbeat racing

Two sims wide, your dream embracing

Every detail from large to small

Your vision stands above it all!

Lanterns glow through midnight streets, shadows start to dance (dance… )

Echoes of the forum rise, ghosts of old romance

Columns stretch to touch the sky, I hear the eagles cry (cry… )

Your vision lifts me higher still, as these Roman days pass by!

Oh Uri!

You built a world of beauty beneath that Roman sky

Marble roads and towering arches, made with passion so

Your Aquilonia lives forever, more than you could know!

Whispering streets… (streets… )

Baths of light… (light… light…)

Aquilonia in my heart…

Thank you, Uri.
