[Verse 1:]
I was born again every night
Into trial for a while
Half awake, out of breath
Shivering, saying things
What's happening?
What's going on?
Who's hiding there?
Anywhere?
The other side of getting by is losing every sense of pride.

[Chorus:][x2]
When our lungs collapse
When our voices dissolve
I will join the choir
When the waves roll in
And we all turn to dust
In between two fires
I'll try to forgive myself.

[Verse 2:]
On mountain tops, in monasteries
On river banks, in cemeteries
In prison cells, on balconies
In dancing halls, through guillotines
I was born again, every night
Tunnelling to the light
The other side of getting by is losing every sense of pride.

[Bridge:]
Above a thousand islands in my sleep
We lose our treasures in the sea
I find myself now proudly stealing the parts I need for me.

[Chorus:][x3]
When our lungs collapse
When our voices dissolve
I will join the choir
When the waves roll in
And we all turn to dust
In between two fires
I'll try to forgive myself.
