[English]

We're caught deep in the eye of the storm

Every battle's been lost or won

I still feel it, I still feel it

Even when you've won, even when you've won

We're at the end now the worse is through

But our world is cracked in two, yea

I still feel it, I still feel it

Even when you're gone, even when you're gone

Cause I, I can't stop shaking

Million miles away but I still feel it, can you feel it

Nothing can stop the ground from breaking

Can't stop the world, can't stop it

Nothing can stop my hands from shaking

Even when you're gone there's the aftershock

...

Even when you're gone there's the aftershock

...

I still feel it

Even when you're gone there's the aftershock

This time there's a warning sign

Brace hard for a heavy fall, yea

I still want it, I still need it

Even though it's wrong, even though it's wrong

Cause I, I can't stop shaking

Million miles away but I still feel it, can you feel it

Nothing can stop the ground from breaking

Can't stop the world, can't stop it

Nothing can stop my hands from shaking

Even when you're gone there's the aftershock

...

Even when you're gone there's the aftershock

...

Even when you're gone there's the aftershock

Nothing can stop the ground from breaking

Can't stop the world, can't stop it

Nothing can stop my hands from shaking

Even when you're gone there's the aftershock

...

There's the aftershock

I still feel it

Even when you're gone there's the aftershock

...
