lyrics

Whispers exchanged through our slumberous mouths
They always were clear as a bell
Shouting as loud as a siren of war
Just to desperately reach to your world

There was a time when the height of the sun
Brought promise that we could hold on
Gasping for air at the end of the world
All that remains is my word

Whispers exchanged through our slumberous mouths
They always were clear as a bell
Shouting as loud as a siren of war
Just to desperately reach to your world

There was a time when my subtlest sign
Would turn you inside then out
Where does it vanish to all you deprive us of
Show me the ways of you now

You, the one with the open eyes
How'd you lose your sight
In my clearest light
