Between Two Worlds – English Lyrics

Lyrics & Translation

[English]

Ooh

It's this time of the year

A very so merry night we hold dear

So many, so many regrets bring me to tears

Not many, not many notice nor care

Ooh

My saviour

Ooh

Why does a common fire hold so much power?

If only we could be forever naive and pure

If only we could lead painless futures

If only there could be a forgiving world

Maybe that was when

I chose to stay fallen

Lights

A star

A voice

A twisted thought

A touch

A kiss

A distorted dream

Ripples

A well

A stone

A multiplying desire

A fruit

A sin

A holy mother

I'm infected, I'm infected

You have invaded and re-created me

Stepped over my body

Found a sunny spot

Curled into a ball

Spinning out the silk

From my head to toe

Inside the warm cocoon, I dreamt to be like you

Though I know there's no undo

What do I have left to lose?

Split

A sky

An earth

I fell into a crack

A birth

An egg

A freshly opened membrane

A cell

A rot

A face returned to ashes

An art

A wound

A sentient canvas

Breaking breaking breaking the shell

Breaking out, oh break it now

Show me how, show me how

Listen up, my broken child

Let's lament, let's lament

The life, the death, the good, the bad

The never ending curse we cast

Control, control, control, release

Control, betray, control, let go

Conceal, reveal, unreal, surreal

Invoke, evoke, decode, reload

Let's lament, let's lament

The past that only got to live in the incomplete holy land

Celestial (Ayiah)

We're astral (Ayiou)

I'm reborn (Le rheaiah)

Total liberation (Katre o lamenta)

My tender skin

A vagitus song (Essential)

I breathed (Eventual)

And screamed (Eternal)

From my new lungs (Inevitable freeing of the soul)
