lyrics

I’m biding my time, petrified
That we’re dying, dying
I mask, every tide, every blast
But they’re back again, back again

I lie, with no alibi
Till rivers go dry and wars break out, and life goes on
No dire strides, just hide the demise
Tone the words down

I sigh
With every rhyme that I devise
I can’t bury deep down it’s all for naught
Just calm amidst a storm

We hope time resolves every plight
Like passersby, everyone tries to look away

I play it down, burrowed in sand
Every time I can’t face signs but
Time hails no sons
Time hails no suns

And in line, we’ll lie, trying to salvage, the remnants of the world
Going “why, oh why, are our children drowning now?”
Oh, but long ago, I had been told, I never tried, I felt no alarm, my daily crime
And time, flying by, filling our coffins, with an unstoppable flow
My fear is blind, to the sight of the pouring rain
Oh, but long ago, I had been told, I never tried, I felt no alarm, my daily crime
And here I’m standing now

Time hails no suns, time hails
Time hails no sons, time hails no suns
Time hails… time hails...

And in line, we’ll lie, trying to salvage, the remnants of the world
Going “why, oh why, are our children drowning now?”
Oh, but long ago, I had been told, I never tried, I felt no alarm, my daily crime
And time, flying by, filling our coffins, with an unstoppable flow
My fear is blind, to the sight of the pouring rain
Oh, but long ago, I had been told, I never tried, I felt no alarm, my daily crime

First Draft Tours, France

Lorsqu'on entend au loin un concert de First Draft, on imagine quatre ou cinq musiciens sur scène. C'est en s'approchant de plus près qu'on découvre une acrobate batteuse-chanteuse et un bassiste-alchimiste passionné faisant apparaître à travers son pédalier et ses amplis un large spectre de sons qui remplissent l’espace et créent l’illusion du nombre, sans boucles ni samples. ... more
