This Is Dead Can Dance

Our Future

[Verse]
We walk the hills
The heather grows
A path we've carved
Yet no one knows
The winds they whisper
Soft and low
"Do ye ken where your choices go?"

[Chorus]
Our future
Aye
It’s in our hand
Like shifting tides upon the sand
Do we cherish
Or do we stray?
The weight of tomorrow starts today

[Verse 2]
A loch reflects the clouded sky
Questions swirl as the curlews cry
We build the bridge
We burn it too
Do we leave a world that's bruised or true?

[Pre Chorus]
The thistle blooms
Though storms will come
Are we the tempest
Or the sun?

[Chorus]
Our future
Aye
It’s in our hand
Like shifting tides upon the sand
Do we cherish
Or do we stray?
The weight of tomorrow starts today

[Bridge]
The bairns will dance in fields of green
Or tread the ash of what we've seen
Will they sing of hope or rue?
The choice belongs to me and you

Our Future

En medio de la destrucción,
nuestras manos de amor se lleno,
y rebozantes se brindaron a la sanación
a los hijos afligidos.

Druidas y chamanes de antaño,
encarnados para guiar a la ascensión
de un nuevo estado de conciencia,
y sanará a nuestra madre tierra.

Venid seres del cosmos,
que nuestra madre os necesita,
y nuestra necedad os necesita,
nos perdimos en la corrupción,

los hombres  se olvidaron,
se perdieron en su egoísmo
y el fuego despertarán
el mundo dividido está

Despertad de vuestro sueño
despertad de vuestro desamor,
sosten tu mirada, hazte dueño
de tu alma, de tu corazón

Venid seres del cosmos,
que nuestra madre os necesita,
y nuestra necedad os necesita,
nos perdimos en la corrupción

Venid Seres del Cosmo
