lyrics

I'm not crying
I'm just shedding a tear
On the ashes of
The world that we have killed
I'm not whispering
I'm not even feeling worried
Cause as far as I know myself
We'll always need a little more

Way down inside
I'll carry on
Feels like I'm blind
I don't belong
I don't belong
Here...

I'm not crying
I'm just shedding a tear
On the burning ashes
Of the world that made us kill
I'm not whispering
I'm not even feeling a little worried
Cause the leaving of us all
Is nothing but a consequence

O O O O... Down inside
We'll carry on
But it feels like we're blind
We don't belong
We don't belong
Here...
I see Bahia... Bahia... Mensajens de amor,
Chegam na beira do mar

Since the beginning of summertime
We've been enjoying all the fruits of life
The merchant ships criss-crossing the ocean
Swine Men plundering earth's ressources for a dime
Since the making of summertime
Back south, we've been getting rid of all our slime
Bankers speculating on people's lives
Popes of Progress, oil peak deniers encouraging a seven billion people lie
Feels like crying
When we stop believing a lie
Feels like whispering
To your ears: "we're gonna die"
Midnight turning
What a wonderful world we were in
We just cannot control ourselves
Always wanna have a little more
Complaisant blinding
Never acting, but all decrying
Predator cravings
Deep inside
Midlife crisis
Last urge before the Fall
Goodbye summertime
Goodbye summertime... Winter is coming
