lyrics

Lyrics written by S. Konstantinomanolakis)

Woke up in a nightmare
Terrified, blinded and naked in the air
People await for my crying
and some air goes out crying
to make room for the first breath of my life.

There was light
pushing its way in into my eyes
like a blade that tears the flesh apart,
straight to the heart.

Hands holding me, they cut me off to isolate me.
I am forced to breathe.
I surrendered my lungs to the unknown aura
and world rushed inside.

Oh, my God, it's freezing cold!
I feel every drop of blood.
Please, let me go back... no!!!

I was flying.
Now nothing seems like flying anymore.
Gravity is deciding.
It will keep me down climbing.
A small piece of time,
for a future sacrifice.

Two warm hands, two magnets of nature
holding me tight.
Evergreen the love and the burden carried inside.

The mother:
"Come to me my blood and my flower,
my beat of my heart.
Don't be afraid, nothing in the world will tear us apart."

The child:
"Why did you wake me up to this?
why did you take my wings away? why?
did you believe that you would live twice?"
