Lyrics Harakiri - Serj Tankian

Harakiri

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
