The world keeps turning even after we’re gone Raindrops will fall, they don’t need anyone The faster, the better, humanity’s a plague We’re stuck in a loop, and counting the days The sun will still set, and the stars will burn out Clocks keep on ticking, but there’s nothing to count The future’s a lie, and the past doesn’t care Every step taken, it leads us nowhere Why live a life full of wasted potential Why tell the truth when it’s not what they want Why be a good person when good never works Mercy is met with a blade in return Why stand up for right when wrong is a winner Why bother smiling when everything’s a joke Why dream of the sky when you’re chained to the earth Mercy is met with a blade in return The waves coming in, try to wash us away Tides ever shifting, we simply stay in place The harder we work, the less we achieve We’re fighting for nothing, pretend to believe The streets might stop burning, but the blood never dries Ignoring the carnage, try as we might The future’s a lie, and the past doesn’t care Every step taken, it leads us nowhere Why live a life full of wasted potential Why tell the truth when it’s not what they want Why be a good person when good never works Mercy is met with a blade in return Why stand up for right when wrong is a winner Why bother smiling when everything’s a joke Why dream of the sky when you’re chained to the earth Mercy is met with a blade in return We’re born just to suffer, and die to be free Chasing a purpose that’s never been real This life’s but a cycle, we kill and we rape Still we keep marching, cause nothing’s at stake Why live a life full of wasted potential Why tell the truth when it’s not what they want Why be a good person when good never works Mercy is met with a blade in return Why stand up for right when wrong is a winner Why bother smiling when everything’s a joke Why dream of the sky when you’re chained to the earth Mercy is met with a blade in return Mercy is met with a blade in return
Slow Indie Country Folk
English
The emotional tone of the song is deeply melancholic and reflective, conveying a sense of hopelessness and resignation toward the human condition. It evokes feelings of frustration and sadness regarding societal norms and personal struggles, using stark imagery to underscore its themes.
This song can be applied in scenarios of introspection, social commentary, or even during personal reflection periods where one seeks to understand the weight of human existence and the struggles of morality. It may also fit well in film scenes that discuss themes of existential crisis or social injustice.
The song employs a simple yet effective lyrical structure, featuring repetitive themes that reinforce its message. The use of rhetorical questions throughout invites the listener to engage deeply with the existential dilemmas presented, while the imagery contrasts the natural world's indifference to human suffering with the personal battles faced by individuals. The instrumentation likely accompanies these themes with a slow tempo, utilizing acoustic instruments to maintain a reflective atmosphere.
[Verse] Mortal man he walks the street Dusty roads beneath his feet Life's a whisper then it's gone Like the dew that meets the dawn [Verse 2] Immortal man he sees the light Past the shadow past the night Eternal spirit knows no time Truth and love in every rhyme [Chorus] Mortal man feels pain and fear Immortal hears the music clear Heart of spirit pure and true Heaven's voice is calling you [Verse 3] Mortal seeks with eyes so blind Immortal mind can always find Beyond the flesh beyond the bone Life eternal minds enthrone [Bridge] World of matter comes and goes Spirit's river ever flows In the silent still of peace All the earthly chains release [Chorus] Mortal man feels pain and fear Immortal hears the music clear Heart of spirit pure and true Heaven's voice is calling you
If tomorrow all the tulips faded, And the windmills stopped their spin, I'd thank the skies for Holland, For the land where we begin. From the canals of Amsterdam, To the dunes by Zeeland's shore, Every field and dike reminds me What this land is fighting for. And I’m proud to call myself a Dutchman, Where the spirit’s free and bright, And I'll stand up tall in the polder winds, To defend her every right. There ain't no land like the Netherlands, Where the waters meet the sea, God bless this land of orange and green, Forever wild and free. From the farms of Friesland's prairies, To Rotterdam's mighty ports, To the art of Rembrandt and Van Gogh, And our rich athletic courts. Through the storms, we've held together, Our hearts a united chain, And even when the waters rose, The Dutch soul still remained. And I’m proud to call myself a Dutchman, Where the tulips bloom in spring, And I’ll stand up strong through the stormy nights, For the love this land will bring. There ain't no land like the Netherlands, Where the waters meet the sea, God bless this land of orange and green, Forever wild and free.
[Verse] We stand on earth with feet of clay Our hearts weigh heavy every day We seek the truth in light unseen In mortal flesh we dream between [Verse 2] The world of man with faults and fears But spirit whispers in our ears A realm unseen so vast so bright Where mortal strife "tis swallowed by light [Chorus] Oh break these chains that bind our soul In truth we find the purest goal The mortal fades but love will shine In God's embrace we intertwine [Verse 3] A mortal frame may bend and break But spirit strong will not forsake For every sorrow every tear A promise of the kingdom near [Bridge] Immortal life beyond the veil With faith we tread on holy trail The mortal leaves a fleeting trace But spirit finds its saving grace [Verse 4] In silent prayer we touch the sky Where mortal waves in stillness lie The truth eternal will reveal That life in God is whole and real
Verdeja el bascanó, fort i ferm, un arbre sagrat, de fulles en marxa, en la terra del vent i l’alba de l’or, on el silenci es trenca per la música del cor. Estribillo: Oh verd, verd, verd que bategues, al cor del bosc, tot resplendeix, Bascanó de les arrels d’or, guaita la vida que mai mor! A l’ombra dels teus braços s'amaga la llum, la força que s’amaga entre cada branqueta, més alt que els cims, més profund que el somni, el teu color verd ens guia i ens dona el camí. Estribillo: Oh verd, verd, verd que bategues, al cor del bosc, tot resplendeix, Bascanó de les arrels d’or, guaita la vida que mai mor! I quan la pluja t’omple de llàgrimes fines, el teu crit ressona, la terra s’estremeix, un cant de germana, de mare i de filla, on el verd és força, on l’esperança brilla. Estribillo: Oh verd, verd, verd que bategues, al cor del bosc, tot resplendeix, Bascanó de les arrels d’or, guaita la vida que mai mor! Amb el vent que t'acarona, el temps s'atura, el bascanó al cel es fon en la natura, el teu nom és màgia, és alè i és terra, un verd infinit que tot ho encercla. Estribillo: Oh verd, verd, verd que bategues, al cor del bosc, tot resplendeix, Bascanó de les arrels d’or, guaita la vida que mai mor!

[Verse] Smile on the windowpane Dancing in the soft refrain Warmth of what we can't explain Lost in moments we contain [Verse 2] Whispered secrets in the breeze Golden light through autumn trees Wrapped in nights that feel like ease Bittersweet as memories [Chorus] Sunshine and rain in my heart Together though we're apart Happy tears blend with the sad Love's the best I ever had [Verse 3] Laughter echoes in the night Holding onto what feels right In the shadows there's a light Every wrong can find a right [Bridge] Life’s a road with twisted bends Magic sprinkled with loose ends Every sunrise just pretends That the story never ends [Chorus] Sunshine and rain in my heart Together though we're apart Happy tears blend with the sad Love's the best I ever had
The world keeps turning even after we’re gone Raindrops will fall, they don’t need anyone The faster, the better, humanity’s a plague We’re stuck in a loop, and counting the days The sun will still set, and the stars will burn out Clocks keep on ticking, but there’s nothing to count The future’s a lie, and the past doesn’t care Every step taken, it leads us nowhere Why live a life full of wasted potential Why tell the truth when it’s not what they want Why be a good person when good never works Mercy is met with a blade in return Why stand up for right when wrong is a winner Why bother smiling when everything’s a joke Why dream of the sky when you’re chained to the earth Mercy is met with a blade in return The waves coming in, try to wash us away Tides ever shifting, we simply stay in place The harder we work, the less we achieve We’re fighting for nothing, pretend to believe The streets might stop burning, but the blood never dries Ignoring the carnage, try as we might The future’s a lie, and the past doesn’t care Every step taken, it leads us nowhere Why live a life full of wasted potential Why tell the truth when it’s not what they want Why be a good person when good never works Mercy is met with a blade in return Why stand up for right when wrong is a winner Why bother smiling when everything’s a joke Why dream of the sky when you’re chained to the earth Mercy is met with a blade in return We’re born just to suffer, and die to be free Chasing a purpose that’s never been real This life’s but a cycle, we kill and we rape Still we keep marching, cause nothing’s at stake Why live a life full of wasted potential Why tell the truth when it’s not what they want Why be a good person when good never works Mercy is met with a blade in return Why stand up for right when wrong is a winner Why bother smiling when everything’s a joke Why dream of the sky when you’re chained to the earth Mercy is met with a blade in return Mercy is met with a blade in return

I always saw myself as someone Who'd chase the clouds and race the sun I thought the sky was mine to own I knew it strong as blood and bone But these strings and cords weren't meant for flight Not for kites that soar these dizzy heights Now I know they’re meant to tether For me to ground, for me to weather Looking up, the sky is only Looking somehow barren, lonely Someday I’ll make my peace and let it lie Now I know that I will live and die Not a pilot in these hollow skies Just another of these ordinary guys This heavy heart of mine won’t leave Keeps me grounded, oh how I believe These kites are not that different From these anchored boats we resent What if I am still the same Where nobody even knows my name Somehow a flicker in the starry skies Just yet another of these ordinary guys Looking up, it feels like somehow Every spark is right at home now Someday I’ll find my place and let it lie Now I know that I will live and die Not a pilot in these star-lit skies Just another of these ordinary guys Looking up, it feels like somehow Every spark is right at home now
Hush, little one, don't make a sound, The shadows are waiting, they’re all around. Close your eyes, feel the cold, Malatrix whispers, its stories unfold. Sleep, oh sleep, in silence deep, Where the shadows slither and monsters weep. Dream of the dark, where nightmares play, And Malatrix waits in the blackest sway. The walls breathe slow, the air grows thin, Feel it calling from within. It wears your face, it speaks your name, It wraps you tight in an endless game. Sleep, oh sleep, in silence deep, Where the shadows slither and monsters weep. Dream of the dark, where nightmares play, And Malatrix waits in the blackest sway. Its hands are light, its touch is ice, It steals your soul, it whispers twice. Not a scream, not a tear, Malatrix comes when you draw near. Rest now, child, your time has come, The fear is sweet, the silence hums. In your dreams, it lingers still, And in the dark, it bends your will. Sleep, oh sleep, in silence deep, Where the shadows slither and monsters weep. Dream of the dark, where nightmares play, And Malatrix waits in the blackest sway. Hush now, child, your eyes grow dim, Malatrix hums a twisted hymn. Its breath is near, its touch is cold, And in the dark, you’ll lose your hold.
[Verse] You’ve got the sunbeams dancing bright Spreading joy left and right Cotton candy clouds in sight Skies turning color tonight [Verse 2] Tiny hands wave up high Chasing kites that touch the sky Laugh and let your worries fly Imagine worlds that pass you by [Chorus] Rainbow dreams and starry nights Hold tight to your dreams so light Every step a new delight Everything’s gonna be alright [Verse 3] Sandcastles and magic sand Mysteries in every hand Wander through a fairy-land Just believe and take a stand [Bridge] Let the bubbles float away Hear the songs that they play In the sunshine’s golden ray Dance in fields of flowers today [Chorus] Rainbow dreams and starry nights Hold tight to your dreams so light Every step a new delight Everything’s gonna be alright
