Lyrics
Grave Of The Fireflies
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Quiet the drone in the distance approaches
We hide and hope they pass us by
Waiting in silence praying they don't find us
And maybe they'll spare us our lives
Just maybe they'll spare us our lives
Desolate village of sorrow and anguish
I stare upon what once was home
Explosions and flashes leave embers and ashes
And now I've got nowhere to go
And now we've got nowhere to go
Now, as the fire rains down from the sky
I see the love disappear from her eyes
I've seen the hearts of our people all change
Like the wind a helping hand I cannot find
Hold on I'll find a place to call our own
Nevermore will you cry, together we'll live on alone
Life or death we will not live forever or did you forget
Selflessness bereft you looked
The other way as we are left for dead
Gone are the tears of the innocent child
Each day a curse watching her fading smile
You must be brave little sister
I'll swallow my pride whatever it takes to survive
Be strong, the fireflies
Will light the way, never stop carry on
You are the life in me today
Life or death we will not live forever or did you forget
Selflessness bereft you looked
The other way as we are left for dead
As the raids begins the blackened rain turns red
A beautiful display of hatred
Nothing left beneath the flames
Are where my love ones lay to rest
Sleep little one all your nightmares are gone
Rest in peace and be free of your pain
For you I will fight one more day
Echoes of your voice repeatedly tormenting
Reminds me of my mistakes
How do I live with myself my conscience says
I sent you to an early grave
Have I sent you to an early grave
Mother and father will dry your eyes
Now that you sleep with the fireflies
Mother and father will dry your eyes
Now that you sleep with the fireflies
