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
