lyrics

We left at night
Firefly-stars in the dark
Ancestor ghosts,
All alone they hold the spark

Colorful embroidery
We are woven in the hills
Across the terraced slopes we left
The village and the fields

With just the clothes
That we wore
We had no shoes
Along the way
We all hid
In people’s homes

Say goodbye now to this life
The only one you’ve known
Try your best now to deny
Even though it’s in your bones

It’s a distant memory
That has got me on my knees
I’m falling down again

My Mother said that the moon shone in the water
Is her sister who walked by the lake one night
Out from the dark and the deep there rose a dragon
Who pulled her down so now we see her mirrored light

We sold the last
Silver
Jewelry, forks and spoons
So we could pay
To cross
The river in bloom

Colorful embroidery
We are woven in the hills
Across the terraced slopes we left
the village and the fields

We tried to sleep
As the screams echoed the rain
All that we left
Behind
In ruins and flames

Say goodbye now to this life
The only one you’ve known
Try your best now to deny
Even though it’s in your bones

It’s a distant memory
That has got me on my knees
I’m falling down again

My Mother said that the moon, shone in the water,
Is her sister who walked by the lake one night
Out from the dark and the deep there rose a dragon
who pulled her down so now we see her mirrored light
