[Lyric] Ninelie From Kabaneri of the Iron Fortress (Adriana Figueroa)

Stars above
Your twinkle in the night joins our hearts as one
Now the lights are burning out

Washed away
All the hopes and dreams that came pouring down like the rain
Dried up and left to die

Faint cries heard through the night
We follow blind, it isn't right
Will the sun rise when I awake?
Or will it fade out?

Consumed by a daydream, fighting to face reality
Telling tales of old times, it's clear their dignity has died
Beneath the twilight, will the world still hear their cries?
Only your silence can light up the way

Don't get swayed
Though the pieces seem to line up, they hold no weight
Find the truth within the lies
Know your worth
You are more than just their prize, you're a gift to the Earth
Don't waste away your life

Fear always finds a way - Playing little games, leading hearts astray
So much hate bottled up inside - We have to try, fight

Don't give into daydreams, they're not as gentle as they seem
When you start to lose sight, lend me your ears, I'll be your eyes
Come forth and follow, crossing the bridge to tomorrow
Pray for silence and sing through the night

Fleeting melodies bringing back those heartfelt memories
Knowing that we would pay a price
When we left the things we loved behind

Twisted images of this crazy life we're living in
Blessing those with the will to fight
Crushing those who would let it die

A dream born from tears and lies
Cut down the nightmare in disguise
Let the fools make their noise, and watch them revel in their joy

I will not follow, sing one last song for tomorrow
Give us silence to ring far and wide
Don't be afraid, daybreak has come
Don't be afraid, daybreak has come
Don't be afraid, daybreak has come
Don't be afraid, daybreak has come
