Nous Sommes La Guerre

(album: Övergivenheten - 2022)

Nous sommes la guerre
Nous sommes le contraire
Nous sommes l'opposition
Nous attendons le porteur de lumière

I can feel the shadows enter, rising from the earth
Now that everyone is giving me the widest berth
I have nightly visits, sentient absence watching me
Nurturing the itch where other worlds are scratching me

When I heard the voices from below
Gently telling me where I should go
Speaking demon tongues in stereo
Face the undetermined, let it show
Let it show

So could you hold my fire?
Would you arise and meet me where the sparks ignite?
Nothing's new
It's just the fear that
Something's coming after you

It's the brimstone sparkling, touching me at parts unseen
Just a sharp reminder prodding at what could have been
Would you share my burden, help me lay this ghost to rest?
If you disagree then please pretend it's for the best

Every trial that we must undergo
Trapped between the current and the flow
Melodies above the hellish drone
Sound the unrefined and let it go

So could you hold my fire?
Would you arise and meet me where the sparks ignite?
Nothing's new
It's just the fear that
Something's coming after you

Hold my fire
Would you arise and meet me where the sparks ignite?
Nothing's new
It's just the fear that
Something's coming after you

Nous sommes la guerre
Nous sommes le contraire
Nous sommes l'opposition
Nous attendons le porteur de lumière
