Harakiri - Serj Tankian

We’re the day birds

Deciding to fly against the sky

Within our dreams we all wake up To kiss the ones who are born to die

We’re the greying herds

Hurting each the other with our lives

Within our dreams we all wake up To kiss the ones who are born, born to die (born to die)

The drum fish, they beached themselves in hara-kiri

The blackbirds, they fell in thousands from the sky

Their red wings, streaming down from the higher seas

Deflected, by the ground they crowned the sun

They crowned the sun (They crowned the sun)

They crowned the sun (They crowned the sun)

But I believe that they are free

When their time was done (Their time was done)

They were drowned by the only One (They crowned the sun)

But I believe that they are free, washed by the sun

Our statues, the soaring edifice of our times

Detracted, from the ways of the wise

The future, will view all history as crime

So father, tell us when is the time to rise

They crowned the sun (They crowned the sun)

They crowned the sun (They crowned the sun)

But I believe that they are free

When their time was done (Their time was done)

They were drowned by the only One (They crowned the sun)

But I believe that they are free

We’re the day birds

Deciding to fly against the sky

Within our dreams we all wake up To kiss the ones who are born to die

We’re the greying herds

Hurting each the other with our lives

Within our dreams we all wake up To kiss the ones who are born, born to die

They crowned the sun (They crowned the sun)

They crowned the sun (They crowned the sun)

But I believe that they are free

When their time was done (Their time was done)

They were drowned by the only one (They crowned the sun)

But I believe that they are free

They crowned the sun (They crowned the sun)

They crowned the sun (They crowned the sun)

But I believe that they are free

And we believe that they are free

'Cause I believe that they are me, washed by the sun
