I came to the village by the sea

On a moonless night, I drifted on my own

I came to the village by the sea

Dispossessed and followed by the crows

I saw fires

Down the valley

Came the vultures

A wind tore through this land of mystery

I came to the village by the sea

I saw demons

Fly from the walls

Imagine my surprise

To find out that they live behind the doors

I came to the village by the sea

Every single day, they call me the stranger

At the well, they say, I poisoned the water

Mister mayor says I'm good for nothing

Should I just walk to the stake smiling?

Not that I complain, as I'm just a faker

From a distant star, they call me a liar

My wings growing back, promise me the wind

Should I just return to the stars flying?

I live in the village by the sea

I now light fires in the valley

I live in the village by the sea

A stranger far from where he used to be

From the ocean

The moon rises

Divine expectation

A cloud, millions of falling butterflies

They come to the village by the sea

Drawn by fires

Down the valley

Mutant villagers

A storm of wings reshapes reality

I belong in the village by the sea

Every single day, they call me the stranger

At the well, they say, I poisoned the water

Mister mayor says I'm good for nothing

Should I walk just to the stake smiling?

Not that I complain, as I'm just a faker

From a distant star, they call me a liar

My wings growing back, promises me the wind

Should I just return to the stars flying?

Every single day, they call me the stranger

Every single day, they call me the faker
