The Village

Lyrics: Jean Fossat Music: Jean Fossat/Rémi Fossat/Canek Flores 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 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 the liar My wings growing back, promises 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 just walk to the stake smiling? Not that I complain, as I’m just a faker From a distant star, they call me the 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
