Les Isles Noires (Nos Chants Perdus 2010)

Текст песни Rome - Les Isles Noires (Nos Chants Perdus 2010)

The wars are moving north to our isles of green
Through countries washed out by storms of steel
They shall not pass, we shall not yield
Freedom is a love not proven, the letting go
For all they ever allow us to be
Is an alibi, a breath mint for greed
Thus we live gravely, thus we die slowly
Thus we hide in self control

For we who came out here
To give an empire to this loneliness
Looked around and we're slaves
Defined to the graves
They say we're mad with hope, they say it's all but smoke
Said we're all gonna perish in the snow

Take this vow with me
To stay close, to be near, to be oh so sincere
Take this vow with me
For you must know there's nothing left around here

And so you toss a coin at every turn
To know what bridge to cross, what bridge to burn
Along the towers and the riverbanks
Of France with Spain still in our hearts
While we're wondering why we're all so quick
To separate sex and love, but not church and state
And why they have made all of us slaves
To gold and to debt, to fears and regrets

Take this vow with me
To stay close, to be near, to be oh so sincere
Take this vow with me
For you of all must know there's nothing left around here
Around here

We were not born to live their lie
In houses built to keep the TV dry
So to make you see, to make us heard
We'll have to rebuild our islands word by word

Take this vow with me
To stay close, to be near, to be oh so sincere
Take this vow with me
For you of all people must know there's nothing left around here
Around here
For you must know there's nothing left
