A thimble is a small hard pitted cup worn for protection on the finger that pushes the needle in sewing. Usually, thimbles with a closed top are used by dressmakers but special thimbles with an opening at the end are used by tailors as this allows them to manipulate the cloth more easily. Finger guards differ from tailors' thimbles in that they often have a top but are open on one side. Some finger guards are little more than a finger shield attached to a ring to maintain the guard in place. The Old English word þȳmel, the ancestor of thimble, is derived from Old English þūma, the ancestor of our word thumb.
A single steel needle from the time of the Han Dynasty ancient China (206BC – 202AD) was found in a tomb in Jiangling, and it could conceivably be assumed that thimbles were in use at this time also although no thimble seems to have been discovered with the needle. The earliest known thimble — in the form of a simple ring — dates back to the Han Dynasty ancient China also and was discovered during the Cultural Revolution of the People's Republic of China (PRC) in a lesser dignitary's tomb. Oddly, neither the Romans nor the Greeks before them appear to have used metal thimbles. It may be that leather or cloth finger guards proved sufficiently robust for their purposes. There are so-called Roman thimbles in museum collections, but the provenance of these metal thimbles is, in fact, not certain, and many have been removed from display. No well-documented archeological data link metal thimbles to any Roman site.
I'll stand for this, I'll stand for this until the end
I'll stand for this, I'll wait for you until the end
I feel the fear, the fear that you won't come back to me
I will stand here, I'll show you there's something more to fight for
My heart will always be yours, my love will always be pure
My thoughts and my soul will always belong to you
Desperation is my only company
All this time that I don't seem to feel
This clock doesn't pass it's fucking course
This seconds feel like goddamned months
Cause I promised you I´d fight for us
And I'll keep that promise until I die
The sewer taste of this defeat
Seems nothing compared with my hopes and dreams
All I need is just a little hope
It will work for me to be strong
I never wanted you to go away
And now I'm begging for you to stay
I never wanted you to go away
And now I'm waiting for this to end
My whole world spined around you
Our dreams and hopes we both fought for
Now all is gone
Now all is gone
All's gone behind your footsteps
Behind your footsteps I'll fit mine too
Your trail desapeared from mine
With your rage, vanity and pride
And I'll be here, with open arms
And I'll be here, because you're mine
And I'll be here, cause is just right
And I'll be here, with open arms
And I'll be here, with open arms
And I'll be here, because you're mine
And I'll be here, cause is just right
And I'll be here, because you're mine
