The piano bar
Covers this dusty faraway town,
As our children’s hopes border the sun
Bloody planes carries the night away
Fighter ! Your voice is fading,
Up in the sky – I saw you aching
I saw you becoming a bird
Accompanied in your flight
By the winds of justice

I was looking for love
I was looking for glory
Like a hollow fool
In the midst of History
As I met by the blazing sea
Someone who was looking at me

Take me to the mountains of hope,
So  that I catch fire and burn fake desires
For my love for you made me understand
That we are all doomed birds
But doomed birds that can stand !
You were that cloud beautiful and crimson
Disintegrated by rogue suns

I lost my address in your path
Never thought of the aftermath
Your smile was the candle that lighted my past
It’s been many years, I saw a bird cast
Its look onto insensitive skies

Bullets were pouring on verandahs
Newspapers were bleeding freedom
No country still remembers this time
Businessmen sipping money
On a long beach lit by gunfires
The war banging at the doors

Take my hand forget all the crimes
Let’s walk in the forays of time
The fights have gifted us a pretext to live
To get drunk with our love –

Lying on a rooftop under a scorched sun
You talked to me about fighting black clouds
Your pain was salt on my soul, salt
On my eyes –
As I saw many other birds falling
From our barricaded windows
A hundred bird falling like an accusing rain
Followed by million others
As the country closed its eyes

I was looking for love
I was looking for glory
Like a hollow fool
In the midst of History
As I met by the blazing sea
Someone who was looking at me

The piano bar
Covers this dusty faraway town,
As our children’s hopes border the sun
Bloody planes carries the night away
Fighter ! Your voice is fading,
Up in the sky – I saw you aching
I saw you becoming a bird
Accompanied in your flight
By the winds of justice
