about

A song about life, death and rebirth

lyrics

[Verse]
When we were born the gods had spoken
There was a road in the horizon
Then you came to mend what's broken
We survived
We shared the light

[Verse]
But our small world is endless
Revolving doors to unknown places
We'll end up in distant mazes
It's a shame
We're bound to fate

[Chorus]
And even though we're under the same stars
And though we stand under this lone sky
We face thousands of different paths
Oh perhaps
In another life
I could look for you one more time
Perhaps the sky will bring us back
But who can tell? Time doesn't wait
Our life is just a long farewell

[Verse]
Torn apart by force of nature
We move on through this adventure
We'll prevail through faith in strangers
Hope is blind
And such is life

[Chorus]
And even though we're under the same stars
And though we stand under this lone sky
We face thousands of different paths
Oh perhaps
In another life
I could look for you one more time
Perhaps the sky will bring us back
But who can tell? Time doesn't wait
Our life is just a long farewell

[Bridge]
And at the end
And at the end
You'll see your life through others’ eyes
And it will say
And you will say
It was a pleasure to burn
A pleasure to burn
