Stop This Way

This city teaches no humility

We shall beseech the gods

But not the ones in the sky

But the ones that have fallen at our feet

I'm screaming stop this way, I can't take it

anymore, black rain, black mercury, so be

it, I'll run away anyway

Your shadow, my shadow, shout, don't

shout ah

hhhh, you're already an empty

sound, ahhh (x2)

This city teaches no humility

We shall beseech the gods

But not the ones in the sky

But the ones that have fallen at our feet

To live for rain for warmth

For a footprint on the water

For you for me

Waiting for the pre-dawn light

For springtime for love

For the nightingale's song

For you for me

For ours

I'm screaming stop this way, I can't take it

anymore, black rain, black mercury, so be

it, I'll run away anyway

Your shadow, my shadow, shout, don't

shout ahhhhh, you're already an empty

sound, ahhh (x2)

I'll take out a blank sheet of paper and

write on it how I want to go home, how I

want to be with you, so that my heart sings

full of nests

To live for rain for warmth

For a footprint on the water

For you for me

Waiting for the pre-dawn light

For springtime for love

For the nightingale's song

For you for me

For ours

I'm home, the rain pours down the walls

I'm home, calm my trembling
