Harakiri - Serj Tankian

We’re the day birds

Deciding to fly against the sky

Within our dreams we all wake up To kiss the ones who are born to die

We’re the greying herds

Hurting each the other with our lives

Within our dreams we all wake up To kiss the ones who are born, born to die (born to die)

The drum fish, they beached themselves in hara-kiri

The blackbirds, they fell in thousands from the sky

Their red wings, streaming down from the higher seas

Deflected, by the ground they crowned the sun

They crowned the sun (They crowned the sun)

They crowned the sun (They crowned the sun)

But I believe that they are free

When their time was done (Their time was done)

They were drowned by the only One (They crowned the sun)

But I believe that they are free, washed by the sun

Our statues, the soaring edifice of our times

Detracted, from the ways of the wise

The future, will view all history as crime

So father, tell us when is the time to rise

They crowned the sun (They crowned the sun)

They crowned the sun (They crowned the sun)

But I believe that they are free

When their time was done (Their time was done)

They were drowned by the only One (They crowned the sun)

But I believe that they are free

We’re the day birds

Deciding to fly against the sky

Within our dreams we all wake up To kiss the ones who are born to die

We’re the greying herds

Hurting each the other with our lives

Within our dreams we all wake up To kiss the ones who are born, born to die

They crowned the sun (They crowned the sun)

They crowned the sun (They crowned the sun)

But I believe that they are free

When their time was done (Their time was done)

They were drowned by the only one (They crowned the sun)

But I believe that they are free

They crowned the sun (They crowned the sun)

They crowned the sun (They crowned the sun)

But I believe that they are free

And we believe that they are free

'Cause I believe that they are me, washed by the sun

Somos los pájaros del día

Decidiendo volar contra el cielo

Dentro de nuestros sueños todos nos despertamos para besar a los que nacen para morir

Somos los rebaños canosos

Herirnos unos a otros con nuestras vidas

Dentro de nuestros sueños todos nos despertamos para besar a los que nacen, nacen para morir (nacen para morir)

Los peces tambor, se vararon en hara-kiri

Los mirlos, cayeron por miles del cielo

Sus alas rojas, fluyendo hacia abajo desde los mares más altos

Desviados, por el suelo coronaron al sol

Coronaron al sol (Coronaron al sol)

Coronaron al sol (Coronaron al sol)

Pero creo que son gratis.

Cuando se acabó su tiempo (Se acabó su tiempo)

Los ahogó el único (Coronaron al sol)

Pero yo creo que son libres, bañados por el sol

Nuestras estatuas, el edificio altísimo de nuestro tiempo

Detraído, de los caminos de los sabios

El futuro, verá toda la historia como un crimen.

Así que padre, dinos cuándo es el momento de levantarse

Coronaron al sol (Coronaron al sol)

Coronaron al sol (Coronaron al sol)

Pero creo que son gratis.

Cuando se acabó su tiempo (Se acabó su tiempo)

Los ahogó el único (Coronaron al sol)

Pero creo que son gratis.

Coronaron al sol (Coronaron al sol)

Coronaron al sol (Coronaron al sol)

Pero creo que son gratis.

Y creemos que son gratis

Porque creo que ellos son yo, bañados por el sol
