ishkode

i have to silence myself, i don’t know which language to speak
so that you might listen to me
as the world burns down/ishkode – we linger around
eyes focused on what could have been

i have to supress myself, i don’t know what else can be done
my moon failed to be the one
you surrendered it all/ambe omaa – her beck and call
eyes focused on that sun above

i have to deny myself, i still don’t know where to go
i don’t know what you chose
you have nothing more to say/ningashkendam – as always
eyes focused on her i suppose

i have to resign myself, i don’t know what you crave
you don’t feel the same
as the world burns up/nimaanendam – my love
eyes focused only on the end of days

as the world burns down
ishkode lingers around
