Lyrics
Intro, male voice, hand percussions and war drums
New chapter. New light.
Turn the volume up.
We are still here... and we are free.
rhythmic hand percussions, female ethereal voice, hypnotic guitar finger picking progressive buildup, war drums
breakdown, beat drop, silence, spoken ethereal female voice
For you, Schattenwerk.
Verse 1, male soprano voice, rhythmic finger picking and hand percussions
Driving down the coastal road with nothing but a smile,
left the heavy winter cold behind for just a while.
Got my oldest friends beside me, singing to the radio,
chasing every sunbeam where the golden rivers flow.
We didn't need a fortune just to feel like we are kings,
listening to the heartbeat that the summer evening brings!
Pre-Chorus
And I feel a bittersweet gratitude deep in my chest,
looking at the sunset, knowing that we are truly blessed!
[Chorus)
WE ARE ALIVE — CHASING THE GOLDEN LIGHT!!!
KICKING THE SHADOWS OUT INTO THE NIGHT!!!
No more heavy chains to hold us down, we fly so high,
writing our stories underneath the summer sky!
FOREVER YOUNG!
FOREVER FREE!
THIS IS THE WAY IT’S SUPPOSED TO BE!!!
Verse 2
Walking on the warm cement with sand between our toes,
where the worries fade away and where the ocean flows.
We carry all the scars from every battlefield we won,
but tonight we are just dancing in the shadow of the sun.
Nostalgia in the air, but the future’s looking bright,
holding onto every second of this golden light!
instrumental, hand percussions and war drums, male and female duet harmonic scatting
Chorus, male and female harmonic duet
WE ARE ALIVE — CHASING THE GOLDEN LIGHT!!!
KICKING THE SHADOWS OUT INTO THE NIGHT!!!
No more heavy chains to hold us down, we fly so high,
writing our stories underneath the summer sky!
FOREVER YOUNG!
FOREVER FREE!
THIS IS THE WAY IT’S SUPPOSED TO BE!!!
Outro
Bittersweet gratitude.
Forever free.
