Lyrics
In a village far away
All songs have disappeared
No voices fill the air
No echoes linger here
Forgotten melody
Still wanders through the void
Whistled by the few
Who cannot say what
It means
And every night
The same tune
And every night
Returns beneath the moon
I asked the oldest of them
Where the melody came from
He turned away
And closed his door
The melody grew louder
The closer I came
But every time I tried to sing it
The words would vanish
One day
A gathering
A bonfire
Against a world so dark
The lyrics spark
From the fire
From the fire
And one by one
They descended from the sky
The flames began to answer
Embers began to shine
Words rose from the dark
Words rose from the dark
A song we had forgotten
Was waiting here for us
it was once buried in the night
it was once buried in the dark
Our ancestors sang it
What did they say
Who was taking
the words away?
I can see them now
Between the flames
Calling us, Calling our names
I can see them now
Between the flames
Calling us, Calling our names
And suddenly
I know
The song was never lost
We were
We were
