Testo Nichiren - Duncan Sheik
Testo della canzone Nichiren (Duncan Sheik), tratta dall'album Humming
He beat the drums and lit the fires
He sent his messages in vain
But the sound of his philosophy
Rose above the falling rain
And to you who find it difficult
To believe in anything
I praise you for the outrage
At the horror you have seen
So I'm trying to remember
Try to understand
That every holocaust has meaning
Not set in stone but drawn in sand
And in some cold and barren place
He spoke the phrase and thus I heard
With every small decision
You change a heart, you change the worldMaybe I'll just whisper
Neither humble, neither proud
Listen if you care to
But I will not sing too loud
No, not tonight
Just before I'm over and out
I want to sing of better times
I want to sing of hope
But we've heard those empty promises
They sound like such a joke
And so I stumble
So hard to say, so difficult
Sometimes I am not able
To separate my dreams from forced cliché
But more and more I hear it
I feel the spirit rise
The people here are talking 'bout
The oneness of all life
And maybe I will turn away
Maybe you will run
But it just may be a foreshadowing
Of what's to come
So anything can happen
I don't believe in fate
I won't try to convince you
'Cause it's getting kind of late
But there it is
Just before I'm over and out
My parting shout
Is just to say you hold the reins
And more and more I hear it
I feel the spirit rise
The people here are talking 'bout
The oneness of all life
And maybe I will turn away
Maybe you will run
But it just may be a foreshadowing
Of what's to come
And when you struggle to realize
This earthly paradise
Is it so far above us
To put away the poisonous idea
You know it's just ideas
And they're the only
Enemies 'round here
As their eyes are closing
There's so much more that I could say now
But I guess I've said enough
So sleep well
Just before I'm over and out
Yeah, sleep well
Just before I'm over and out
More and more I hear it
I feel the spirit rise
The people here are talking 'bout
The oneness of all life
And maybe I will turn away
Maybe you will run
But it just may be a foreshadowing
Of what's to come
