XV

Verse 01

died alone
struggling with the sun
another carcass sold the soul
to the hungry ground under terrible blue sky
disguised as its beauty
another bone to vulture’s crown
for those who fade in sunlight

Pre Chorus

The emptiness shows me what to do
Against the wind, I resist and stay
I’m not the first to watch it terrified
but I’ll be the last to say goodbye

Chorus

till the end of me
and till lose it all
what we have started
we’ll finish
even the drought end
when the first drop falls

So hold on to me, please
One day, even the scourge will rest in peace
We did not come here to give up now

Verse 2

here is the one who won’t be broken
here’s where the sun rips out the weakness in me
even when faith surrenders
until the last thread of strength

a sip of fire
to celebrate the end
ashes and smoke
to light my own star

Pre Chorus 02

burning star
dying star
burning star

Chorus

till the end of me
and till lose it all
what we have started
we’ll finish
even the drought end
when the first drop falls

so hold on to me, please
one day even the scourge will rest in peace
we did not come here to give up now

hope’s rebirth
tears are falling from the sky
(falling down)
scars of drought
maculate the green
strong scent of living soil alive
drops of life making the earth pregnant again
welcome the darkened sky
black clouds ending the sun’s reign

Chorus Final

near the end of me
and almost lost
the pain imposed was finished
even the drought ends
when the first drop falls

so hold on to me, please
(hold on)
today the scourge is resting in peace
we’ve got this far
nothing will break us now
