"Hello everyone!" Azrael yelled. Everyone cheered in response. He stood up and spoke into the microphone, he put his guitar down.

"Today, we present to you Someday by OneRepublic. Sit back and enjoy," Azrael said.

Some days I'm treading the water and feel like it's getting deep
Some nights I drown in the weight of the things that I think I need
Sometimes, I feel incomplete, yeah
But you always say to me, say to me
Oh, you say someday when we're older
We'll be shinin' like we're gold, yeah, won't we? (Won't we?)
Won't we? (Won't we?)
And someday when we're older

I'll be yours, and you'll be mine, babe, happy (happy)
Happy
Oh, you say someday when we're older
We won't worry 'bout the things that we don't need
We don't need
Yeah, one day down the line before we both run out of time
You're gonna see
That someday we'll be all that we need
Someday we'll be all that we need
I've been the best, been the worst

Been a ghost in a crowded room (oh, yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah)
I took a chance, took a turn, took a dive
And it led to you (oh, yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah)
So many times that I wish we could be anywhere but here
So many times that I wish I could see what you see so clear, so clear
Oh, you say someday when we're older
We'll be shinin' like we're gold, yeah, won't we? (Won't we?)
Won't we? (Won't we?)
Yeah, and someday when we're older

I'll be yours, and you'll be mine, babe, happy (happy)
Happy
Oh, you say someday when we're older
We won't worry 'bout the things that we don't need (we don't need)
We don't need
Yeah, one day down the line before we both run out of time
You're gonna see
That someday we'll be all that we need
Someday we'll be all that we need
Oh, you say someday when we're older
We'll be shinin' like we're gold, yeah, won't we?
Won't we?
Mmh, someday down the line before we both run out of time
You're gonna see
That someday we'll be all that we need

Azrael finished his song, "Before we leave, one more song. Counting stars!"

Lately, I've been, I've been losing sleep
Dreaming about the things that we could be
But baby, I've been, I've been praying hard
Said, "No more counting dollars, we'll be counting stars"
Yeah, we'll be counting stars

I see this life, like a swinging vine
Swing my heart across the line
And in my face is flashing signs
Seek it out and ye shall find

Old, but I'm not that old
Young, but I'm not that bold
And I don't think the world is sold
On just doing what we're told

I feel something so right
Doing the wrong thing
And I feel something so wrong
Doing the right thing
I couldn't lie, couldn't lie, couldn't lie
Everything that kills me makes me feel alive

Lately, I've been, I've been losing sleep
Dreaming about the things that we could be
But baby, I've been, I've been praying hard
Said, "No more counting dollars, we'll be counting stars"

Lately, I've been, I've been losing sleep
Dreaming about the things we could be
But baby, I've been, I've been praying hard
Said, "No more counting dollars, we'll be, we'll be counting stars"

Yeah, yeah

I feel your love, and I feel it burn
Down this river, every turn
Hope is our four-letter word
Make that money, watch it burn

Old, but I'm not that old
Young, but I'm not that bold
And I don't think the world is sold
On just doing what we're told

And I feel something so wrong
Doing the right thing
I couldn't lie, couldn't lie, couldn't lie
Everything that drowns me makes me wanna flyLately, I've been, I've been losing sleep
Dreaming about the things that we could be
But baby, I've been, I've been praying hard
Said, "No more counting dollars, we'll be counting stars"Lately, I've been, I've been losing sleep
Dreaming about the things that we could be
But baby, I've been, I've been praying hard
Said, "No more counting dollars, we'll be, we'll be counting stars"

Oh, take that money, watch it burn
Sink in the river the lessons I've learned
Take that money, watch it burn
Sink in the river the lessons I've learned
Take that money, watch it burn
Sink in the river the lessons I've learned
Take that money, watch it burn
Sink in the river the lessons I've learned
Everything that kills me makes me feel aliveLately, I've been, I've been losing sleep
Dreaming about the things that we could be

As the song ended, the cheering increased, the Olympians couldn't believe their ears, it was the first time they've seen or heard Azrael sing. He has a truly magical voice.

"Thank you for listening to the Moonshade Masquerade, see you next week," Azrael said bowing, the audience once again erupted into cheers. Azrael and his band walked backstage.
