The island

(music & lyrics : Amaury Massion)

Suddenly beauty put me down on the island of my soul
To have hope is beautiful
Suddenly I heard them calling for the burning of our souls
I said anyhow

We were caught in the middle of a holy grace
We then became special men in disgrace
We were fighting off to see where it all came from
For ever and ever it’s the story of a decade

Beautiful soul
You’re wasting time
But It’s the way of the sunrise

Suddenly it came to a point where hope and beauty were both collapsing
But then they forced me to come back home

It’s alright to be cold inside when the world lets you down
I said anyhow

Beautiful soul
You’re wasting time
In an oblivious lie
Cause it’s the way of the sunrise
On the island

When we came to the island we all forgot what it was
But we headed for the sunrise
We headed full of beliefs and hopes
But we’re misled by cynical, political control
Suddenly it all came to me as clear as it could be
It’s the way of the sunrise

Beautiful soul
You’re wasting time
In an oblivious lie
Beautiful soul
You’re wasting time
It’s the way of the sunrise
On the island
