alexis karpouzos - we are dead and alive lyrics

when day comes we ask ourselves where can we find light in this never ending shade?
the loss we carry, a ocean we must wade
we braved the belly of the beast
i have seen you in millions of places
i met you in a million forms
we met among the ruins
the ashes and the bones
we lost them all, but we found each other
i saw your lion heart, and it pulled me
i saw the creation and the destruction in your eyes
i see you here in the mud, on the rock, in the rays of the rising sun
we are dead and alive
we saw a thousand christs go by as they went up to calvary
but the dove it found no resting place
you were where our solar system was formed
you whispered something to me for eternal love
and then you fell from my hands and everything became fire
all the myths always showed you

we are man and woman
plant and stone, amorphous and form
swallow and eagle, snake and gazelle
fantastic creatures of the depths
they crucified us, beat us
tied us to poles and burned us
wrapped us in gold and silver jewelry
then exalted someone in the world and then we were ridiculed
we stood together in front of the executive detachment
our bodies pressed against each other for the last time
flesh by flesh, as we became utensils for the spirit
but don’t forget you are my brother, my sister, my child
i took care of you from infancy and you took care of me
we were lovers and friends
we recognized each other with countless disguises
here on one side and there on the other
and in the end, there were no sides at all
only this magnificent loop
this one circle
majestic, magnificent, royal, timeless, utterly mysterious and towering above all things
print me in your heart, love is as strong as death
does not matter
you are inside me and i am inside you
and we will compose again a humanity committed to all cultures, colors, characters, and conditions of man
