lyrics

In a world where dreaming is a childish whim,
And earning is the key,
I witnessed the rebirth of the poet I had killed,
Out of the blue
He came back to me as a little insolent boomerang,
And said to my ear:

(refrain)
« This war is not over, and may never end, never end,
« This war is not over and may never end, never end,
« But I am with you. »

He finally disappeared from my path,
Still the shadow of his words floating over my head,
Like a cloud ready to blow up into tears of truth.

(refrain)

Years have passed, turns out I became the corrupted witch,
As my heart turned into solid marble
Fortunately I bumped into an old painter
Who opened his gallery for me,
Colours would resonate into the core of my heart

(refrain)
« This war is not over, and may never end, never end,
« This war is not over and may never end, never end,
« This war is not over and may never end, never end,
I suddenly realized that it was the same old voice than the poet’s…
« This war is not over and may never end, never end,
I suddenly realized that it was the same old voice than the poet’s…
« But I am with you. »

Colours would resonate into the core of my heart, breaking the marbled armor into pieces …
This war is not over, not over…
