Bilingual
One, two
One, two, three
We move by night
ย
Cover our tracks well, and we pack light
ย
Follow the shoreline 'til we've run clean out of land
ย
Speak in gestures only we can understand
ย
We've made mistakes
Everyone spots their own mess when the dawn breaks
ย
We get so exhausted
ย
Lost kids, just wasted
ย
Sleep in short shifts and then rise up to our feet
ย
Life is short, and life is hard, and life is sweet
ย
The treeline shakes
ย
We roll hard along some long odds when the dawn breaks
ย
See soft peaks off in the distance
Those people in the mountains
They will never know what hit them
We shed dead weight
ย
It gets pretty hard to concentrate
ย
Practice our prayers until some small hope crystallizes
ย
Follow the shoreline 'til some better hope arises
ย
Behold, the beast awakes
Stand trapped in his great shadow when the dawn breaks
ย
