lyrics

[Verse I]

I can hear the cacophony
of naivety
paired with productivity
seems like fantasy
singularity
are nothing but blasphemy
a heresy
smell their primitivity
covered in servility
a generation of caducity
has not yet earned its place in history
walking through these streets
I can see them parents fighting
children crying
women complying
men buying
love from girls not older than their daughter
banging her on the backseat
in the side street
where they caught her
I feel a shudder
thinking of those mothers
giving birth and love
and all they have
to watch their baby croaking in the gutter

[Bridge]

And the streets are filled with noises
reflected from the stonewalls, a choir of a thousand voices
leading you to follow
to their godforsaken hollow
to work and swallow
all they feed
today is not today
and there will be no tomorrow

[Chorus]

And you lay back on the greenfield
close your eyes and breath in
welcome the last sunray with a smile
this is a good day
a good day to die
dance into the moonrise
seems like we have waited for this moment for our whole life
we got nothing binding us to stay
we fall from the shore
and let our remains drift away

[Verse 2]

Have you ever chased
a thousand dreams to face
reality in the empty place
of dust and haze
they call your life?
Have you ever built
a world
of thousand words
but still
had the feeling that it will
pass?
Cause nothing lasts
and nothing stays
maybe it's the best
to leave this mess
of shattered hopes
we can not cope
with this nightmare
we both share
and I'm aware
it is a big step to dare
but this very step
is as far as we can get
and all we have
we held to protect
is but a bonfire in our back
nothing's left

[Bridge]

And the streets are filled with noises
reflected from the stonewalls, a choir of a thousand voices
leading you to follow
to their godforsaken hollow
to work and swallow
all they feed
today is not today
and there will be no tomorrow

[Chorus]

And you lay back on the greenfield
close your eyes and breath in
welcome the last sunray with a smile
this is a good day
a good day to die
dance into the moonrise
seems like we have waited for this moment for our whole life
we got nothing binding us to stay
we fall from the shore
and let our remains drift away
