Lyrics and translation The Major Voice - We Were Fire

We Were Fire

There is something in the air
I can taste the end
More than salt in every wound
No pain departs
Each touch turns metallic cold
And all we're good at now
Is building dreams to cut them down
Tell me why

We were told we were fire
But the world is burning underneath our feet
We were told we were fire
But the truth is pale to see
We were told we were fire
But the world is cracking underneath our feet
Dancing flames in a pyre
We were told we were fire

Seeking comfort in despair
On this slow descent
The ghost of love in every room
Haunts both our hearts
Have we lost all that we hold?
Is the darkest day to come?
Or are we stronger still as one?
Tell me why

We were told we were fire
But the world is burning underneath our feet
We were told we were fire
But the truth is pale to see
We were told we were fire
But the world is cracking underneath our feet
Dancing flames in a pyre
We were told we were fire

We were told we were fire
But the world is burning underneath our feet
We were told we were fire
But the truth is pale to see
We were told we were fire
But the world is cracking underneath our feet
We were told we were fire
But the truth is pale to see

Oh
Dancing Flames in a pyre
We were told we were fire

Nous étions le feu

Il y a quelque chose dans l'air
Je peux sentir la fin
Plus que du sel dans chaque blessure
Aucune douleur ne s'en va
Chaque toucher devient glacial et métallique
Et tout ce que nous savons faire maintenant
C'est construire des rêves pour les détruire
Dis-moi pourquoi

On nous a dit que nous étions le feu
Mais le monde brûle sous nos pieds
On nous a dit que nous étions le feu
Mais la vérité est pâle à voir
On nous a dit que nous étions le feu
Mais le monde se fissure sous nos pieds
Des flammes dansantes sur un bûcher
On nous a dit que nous étions le feu

Chercher du réconfort dans le désespoir
Sur cette lente descente
Le fantôme de l'amour dans chaque pièce
Hante nos deux cœurs
Avons-nous perdu tout ce que nous tenons?
Le jour le plus sombre est-il à venir?
Ou sommes-nous plus forts encore en tant qu'un?
Dis-moi pourquoi

On nous a dit que nous étions le feu
Mais le monde brûle sous nos pieds
On nous a dit que nous étions le feu
Mais la vérité est pâle à voir
On nous a dit que nous étions le feu
Mais le monde se fissure sous nos pieds
Des flammes dansantes sur un bûcher
On nous a dit que nous étions le feu

On nous a dit que nous étions le feu
Mais le monde brûle sous nos pieds
On nous a dit que nous étions le feu
Mais la vérité est pâle à voir
On nous a dit que nous étions le feu
Mais le monde se fissure sous nos pieds
On nous a dit que nous étions le feu
Mais la vérité est pâle à voir

Oh
Des flammes dansantes sur un bûcher
On nous a dit que nous étions le feu
