In the novel Loop from the Pionéa series by Lucas Martainn, Liya sings a song. This is it, in a very simple piano version, as inspiration and blueprint for sung versions. Feel free to produce your own version!

Find «Pionéa – Loop» wherever you find your books! (German version available so far.)

Till the Future Returns (Liya's Song)


For a long time
the future was the root of our life
We had something to grow towards
something to go to
to flow with


But now it seems
another future has come at last
and all we are 
is a withered past


Then it would shine again
as a vision of life
a presence too strong for us
too deep to go to
to flow with


And now it seems
another future has come at last
and all we are 
is a withered past


Nothing is lost
nothing is found
waiting in a future
that doesn‘t come around
Nothing is lost in it
but nothing is found
So I refuse to move 


Time has become a pit
where I feel I’ve drowned
listening for a future
that doesn’t make a sound
Nothing is lost in it
but nothing is found


All I can do 
is letting you know
every day 
that I love you
Hoping that one day the future returns
Hoping that one day the feeling returns


Finding the past is easy
It lies open on the ground
Scattered around for those
who are willing to see 
Patiently dreaming to be bound


Nothing is lost
nothing is found
waiting in a future
that doesn‘t come around
Nothing is lost in it
but nothing is found
so I refuse to move 


Time has become a pit
where I feel I’ve drowned
listening for a future
that doesn’t make a sound
Nothing is lost in it
but nothing is found
oh, oh, oh, oh


All I can do 
is letting you know
every day 
that I love you
Hoping that one day the future returns
Hoping that one day the feeling returns


Deep down in infinity it lies
curled up and trembling with a shiver
to be seen held touched kissed
and to rise
into life like a river


So
all I do 
is letting you know
every day 
that I love you
I still love you
Hoping that one day the future returns
Hoping that one day the feeling returns
Hoping that one day the future returns
Hoping that one day the feeling returns
