Lyrics

Translation
Bilingual
A staircase hums beneath the rain
Its wooden bones remember pain
The mirrors breathe with eyes of stone
Yet point to roads we've never known
The fields recall our softer names
Their breath still carries ember flames
We hear the fruit begin to sing
A quiet and solemn hymn
The present cracks, a sudden glow
From seeds that sleep beneath the snow
The silhouettes will rise, the veil will fall
And show the light surrounding all
Fear turns to glass inside the stream
The brighter fire was always within the dream
The dawn hasn't changed
A thousand lights dissolve the gray
As we cognify everything
We're still primates who can't help but sing
As a few dark shadows fall
A thousand suns ignite the walls
As we cognify everything
We're still conscious souls
Who can't help but sing
Can't help but sing
Can't help but sing
Can't help but sing
