Les paroles de la chanson
« Castaways »
Shearwater
By shadowing all the darkened fields
Of forgotten words and civilian lives
Through violence, through the changing guards
Through the grinding away and the furious marching
By gathering the holy light
And weathering a cast away life
And the rising fear...
The hollowness of the flags and gods
That are raised in the air in the wake of their raging...
Your skinny arms hold a lantern up
On the brightest array of the stars in their mornings
And summoning the holy light
On their citadels, the blackening sky
The collapsing sun
The burning wall that approaches our eyes...
You live again in the shuddering light
Of these images, this valediction
You’re running from a rising tide
You’re castaways
Of forgotten words and civilian lives
Through violence, through the changing guards
Through the grinding away and the furious marching
By gathering the holy light
And weathering a cast away life
And the rising fear...
The hollowness of the flags and gods
That are raised in the air in the wake of their raging...
Your skinny arms hold a lantern up
On the brightest array of the stars in their mornings
And summoning the holy light
On their citadels, the blackening sky
The collapsing sun
The burning wall that approaches our eyes...
You live again in the shuddering light
Of these images, this valediction
You’re running from a rising tide
You’re castaways
