I Must Return Lyrics by Magma

Merci

0

I won't come back, I must return (bis)
Can't let it fade, and wear away
Can't let it fade, and wear away

I WON'T COME BACK (Tell me where have you been, tell me!)
I MUST RETURN (Tell me, what's in your eyes, tell me!)
I WON'T COME BACK (Tell me where have you been, tell me!)
I MUST RETURN (Tell me, what's in your eyes, tell me!)
DON'T SHUT ME OUT!

Been to a place, where waterfalls of jade
Flow into lakes of black and coral shade
Wherе sapphire birds, are diving from the shorе
Their silent splashes heard no more
I WON'T COME BACK (Tell me...)
I MUST RETURN (Tell me, what have you seen, tell me!)
WON'T SHUT YOU OUT!

He's been to a place, where witches dressed in white
Gallop on steeds that race into the light
In valleys that eclipse and are no more
Their crystal laughter heard no more

THEN AND THERE WAS THE SUNBURST
AND THE SHADOW OF THE MOON CUT AS SHARP AS A KNIFE
THEN AND THERE WAS THE SUNBURST
AND THE SHADOW OF THE MOON CAME REMINDING OF LIFE

Don't open windows... DON'T OPEN WINDOWS!

I WON'T COME BACK (Take me to wherever you were!)
I MUST RETURN (Feels like I was already there!)
I WON'T COME BACK (Take me to wherever you were!)
I MUST RETURN (Feels like I was already there!)
THEN YOU CAN SEE!

Galloping steeds that race into the light
Black coral lakes, the witches dressed in white
Their crystal laughter to be heard no more
The valleys that eclipse and are no more
Petrified lakes, I know that I was there
I KNOW I REALLY SAW THEM!

THEN AND THERE WAS THE SUNBURST
AND THE SHADOW OF THE MOON CUT AS SHARP AS A KNIFE
THEN AND THERE WAS THE SUNBURST
AND THE WHOLE WIDE WORLD STOOD STILL IN THE LIGHT
THEN AND THERE WAS THE SUNBURST
AND THE CALL OF A BIRD CAME AND SHATTERED THE SKY
THEN AND THERE IS SILENCE, LIKE A DIAMOND FLAME, A BLIND
THEN AND THERE IS THE SUNBURST
AND THE SHADOW OF THE MOON COMES REMINDING OF LIFE!

AND A MILLION NOTES OF MUSIC, A MILLION VIBRANT SOUNDS
WAS THE UNIVERSE OUR BODY, THE INSTRUMENT OF SONG?

Ô THE SEVEN SONGS OF LACE, HEAR THEM ECHOING, DEEPLY RESOUNDING!
THE RITUAL OF RIVERS! OH-OH! WE'RE FREE!
SEE THE DIVING OF THE SOUL BIRD, SEE THE SKY GO BY, SPINNING FOREVER!
ALL UNIVERSES CHIMING, THE TIME TO BE!
We open windows, we open windows, WE OPEN WINDOWS!

Ô THE SEVEN SONGS OF LACE, HEAR THEM ECHOING, DEEPLY RESOUNDING!
THE RITUAL OF RIVERS! OH-OH! WE'RE FREE!
SEE THE DIVING OF THE SOUL BIRD, SEE THE SKY GO BY, SPINNING FOREVER!
ALL UNIVERSES CHIMING, THE TIME TO BE!
WE'RE THE SUMMER IN ITS FLIGHT
WE'RE THE SPLENDOR IN EVERY COLOR
THE SYMPHONY OF NIGHT, THE STRINGS, THE REEDS!
WE'RE THE BREATHING OF THE TREES
WE'RE THE OPENING OF EVERY FLOWER
WE BECAME EVERYTHING THE NIGHT WE DIED!

THE NIGHT WE DIED, THE NIGHT WE DIED, THE NIGHT WE DIED, THE NIGHT WE DIED!

DON'T OPEN WINDOWS...
