Fatherland

Life has swept us away from the motherland and changed all the ways that we used to be we are now in the fatherland.
And we have learned to love all the winters cold and worked through the summer's brightest sun, we are now in the fatherland.
Cause little by little we came closer and closer, we were bitter now stronger.
Building and building and now bolder and bolder with a fuel to conquer.
I said! We are not tender, not anymore!
I said! We turned to diamonds, out of the thorns!
I said! We don't sound perfect but we are not dumb!
I said! We turned diamonds out of the thorns!
When the tears come down from our crying eyes and we miss all the people that we left behind, we cry out to the motherland.
But when we watch all the horrors that we left and we feel the pain in our veins we hold on to the fatherland.
Cause little by little we came closer and closer, we were bitter now stronger.
Building and building and now bolder and bolder with a fuel to conquer.
I said! We are not tender, not anymore!
I said! We turned to diamonds, out of the thorns!
I said! We don't sound perfect but we are not dumb!
I said! We turned diamonds out of the thorns!

Til The Sun Comes Up

I didn't understand why the moon was bright, why you were so shy and why I wondered why.
I didn't really care if you looked at me, if you talked to me or if you wanted me.
But now you're gone, and no one won, we walk away and now we wonder.
I couldn't really help, I was filled with pride, had a screwed up life.
And now we're all alone, we're by the sun, we're on our phones, we're by the shore.
And we don't know just why we're here, but I can't stand, I'll sit with you until the sun comes up...
We burned our pride, our egos dried, we look at life eye to eye,
But there's no race, our hands still shake and there's no waste.
Cause now we're all alone, we're by the sun, we're on our phones, we're by the shore.
And we don't know just why we're here, but I can't stand, I'll sit with you until the sun comes up...
Heyooo! Yeah!
Cause now we're all alone, we're by the sun, we're on our phones, we're by the shore.
And we don't know just why we're here, but I can't stand, I'll sit with you until the sun comes up!
Yeah!

Northern Lights
03:42

I've been searching my whole life for something unreal, something unclear.
People say that it may come here at any time but always on time.
I just got a glimpse, a spark in the night, it's coming from you like a northern light.
It may only come once but no one knows when, might not see you again like a northern light.
Steps through forest, eyes are dimming, unending will, rusting unveils.
Ray filled night sky, colours shine bright when you are here everything's real.
I just got a glimpse, a spark in the night, it's coming from you like a northern light.
It may only come once but no one knows when, might not see you again like a northern light.
Let's slow down the pace, we're running,
Snap out of the daze we're gunning,
let's not forget our days have an end.

Arepas

This song will take you to Venezuela.
Now I love my country, but the situation is complicated.
A lot of things have changed since I left.
But there's one thing that will bring us together, it is my favourite dish.
It' called
Arepa!
Arepas In the morning y Arepas in the evening,
Everyone wants un poquitico de arepas,
Arepa para Obama y arepas para Trudeau,
Everyone wants un pocoton de Arepas.
Arepas when you snack on your own, arepas when you talk on your phone,
Arepas existing within other arepas,
Arepa politics on the crust, Arepas taking over the banks,
Arepa culture going into Canada,
Arepas raining down from the sky,
and every single aspect of your mind’s eye.
Arepas taking over the biz and all the foundations of the economy.
Anonymous arepas walking in the streets changing the outcomes of our history.
Arepas bending space mass and time changing the course of all humankind Arepa
Arepas In the morning y Arepas in the evening,
Everyone wants un poquitico de arepas,
Arepa para Obama y arepas para Trudeau,
Everyone wants un pocoton de Arepas
