Mother

We dragged our souls across plains and oceans
We observed the seasons changing their course and gazed far towards the horizon
Now, humanity bows in silence, and in the sky, only flocks of crows take flight

The day will come when we’ll find again
The loves and dreams left behind in the wind
Beyond the ridge, maybe, we’ll discover the Sun
That’s why we’re still on the road
Among the broken branches the crows take flight
While the fools are laughing again
Heroes, out of time, now drift away
Only a child stays on the field

A lone child, standing, on the field
A lone child, waiting, on the field

Now, humanity moves away to the electronic sound of chains
Like shadows on the way in the neon-lit haze
Humanity moves away to the digital sound of chains
Like shadows on the way
On the way

Mother, you who rise and destroy, you who give the Sun
You, who lead the lost, you who light the lanterns in the sky
Like Simurgh, like the phoenix, with its wings spread in the wind
Strew the colors in the fields of the world so roses may bloom again

Mother, you came before poems and empires
Maybe you know where the stars hide
In the nooks of the ruined houses
Or among the bluebells still clinging to the walls
Under a low, grey sky
Humanity is moving away
As non-living, as the undead
Only a child stays on the field

Humanity moves away to the electronic sound of chains
Like shadows on the way in the neon-lit haze
Humanity moves away to the digital sound of chains
Like shadows on the way
On the way

Mother, you who rise and destroy, you who give the Sun
You, who lead the lost, you who light the lanterns in the sky
Like Simurgh, like the phoenix, with its wings spread in the wind
Strew the colors in the fields of the world so roses may bloom again

Mother, you who rise and destroy, you who give the Sun
You, who lead the lost, you who light the lanterns in the sky
Like Simurgh, like the phoenix
Strew the colors in the fields of the world
