lyrics

[VERSE 1]
--Yanà:
It's another day in the life of an ordinary girl
Living each day like the last as it's all she’s ever known
Leading a humble life with her father at her side
No worries, no regrets, and nothing to be frightened of
--Alìyara:
But deep inside I feel
That there must be something so much more
It all seems so unreal
Is there a path out there that I am destined for?

[CHORUS]
--Yanà:
In innocence, we do find her
Kept safe from the world
And any danger that may befall
In blissful ignorance — I will try and
Protect her from the evils
That I've come to know

[VERSE 2]
--Yanà:
But there’s something I'll admit, there's a secret that I hide
Concerning her childhood, and it's quite the darker side
I'm tasked to shelter her from something she must never know
So I'll have to play along and just hope that it will go away...

I know that she is happy
Unaware of who she really is
To see her smile and laughing
It fills me up with pride in the promise I intend to keep

{CHORUS}

[BRIDGE]
--Alìyara:
Somehow this doesn't feel right
Like a part of me is somehow missing
Images emerging from the grey;
What's going on inside my head?

There's a signal coming through the noise:
And I don't understand what it is telling me
I don’t know which words I have to say;
Should I tell him that I'm scared?
(Should I tell him that I'm scared?
I need to tell him that I'm scared!)

{CHORUS}

[CHORUS (variant)]
--Yanà:
So I'll hold my tongue, I will never
Break the vow I made
I'll never answer should she ask
For she is still a child, as I care for her
I will keep her safe
From her blood-stained past
