"Requiem" lyrics
"Requiem"
Oh, I know your way
Is hard to see today
Bullets, they fly faster than mother's lullabies
And the sparrows cannot sing
For it is theirs to bring
The souls of those lost babies back to the sky
So it is yours to sing
My child, my wild brightling
With the love born in the cradle of time
And fight and fight and fight
In the dying light
For all lost and gone forever clementines
Requiem
Requiem
The question is not if
It was always when
But go on, go on my child
Hope is a prairie fire
Set your embers on the summer wind
Courage, mon petit loup
Tu chante maintenant pour tous
Les enfants dans les ombres
Peurs et froids, perdus
Courage chanter bien forte
Les perdus vont t'entendre
Et suivre le son de dix mille voix en joie
La haine est enterrée
L'heure des miracles est née
L'amour est éternelles
Courage, mes beaux, mes belles
So it is yours to sing
My child, my wild brightling
With the love born in the cradle of time
Requiem
Requiem
The question is not if
It was always when
But go on, go on my child
Hope is a prairie fire
Set your embers on the summer wind
Requiem
Requiem
The question is not if
It was always when
But go on, go on my child
Hope is a prairie fire
Set your embers on the summer wind
Set your embers on the summer wind
