[English]

Are you out? Are you out there?

Smoke's hurting my eyes, hurting my eyes

Safe distance, resistance keeps the fire in place still

You're burning my feathers

Burning my feathers

You're burning my feathers

Burning my feathers

Throw your bombs and bury me

In my castle of uncertainty

Throw your bombs and bury me

And bury me

Are you there? Are you listening?

To my heartbeat, I have to retreat

But you'll always be fuel for my flame

You're the painting, I'm the frame

You're burning my feathers

Burning my feathers

You're burning my feathers

Burning my feathers

Throw your bombs and bury me

In my castle of uncertainty

Throw your bombs and bury me

And bury me

You're burning my feathers

Burning my feathers

You're burning my feathers

Burning my feathers

Throw your bombs

...

Throw your bombs and bury me

In my castle of uncertainty

Throw your bombs and bury me

And bury me

You're burning my feathers

Burning my feathers

You're burning my feathers

Burning my feathers

...
