Alibi [Hungarian translation]

Swallowed by a blackened pearl

Waiting for an answer, to unfurl

Everything wer’e hiding from

We can’t deny we are soldiers

Out of this world

Don’t pretend that you don’t see the sign

And close your heart to love

That’s only madness

Our destiny is to remain

You cannot walk away

From anything human...

Chorus:

We are strong when our heroes are one

Love that shines like the moon and the sun

Helpless in the palm of your hand

Like a child in a game

Would you break if I held you again

Won’t you let me try...

Would a promise be only a dream

Or my alibi...

Verse 2:

Now the rivers overflow

All the gods & goddesses

They show no mercy

Everything we’re running from

Is standing right in front of us

Desire is searching

We can’t rely on happenstance

Oh we’ve brought down their anger

And now they curse us

Cannot deny your right

This love you feel is of the light

And you’re only human…

Chorus:

We are strong when our heroes are one

Love that shines like the moon and the sun

Helpless in the palm of your hand

Like a child in a game

Would you break if I held you again

Won’t you let me try...

Would a promise be only a dream

Or my alibi...

Tag:

We are strong when our heroes are one

Helpless in the palm of your hand

Would you break if I held you again

Won’t you let me try...

Would a promise be only a dream

Or my alibi...

There was a time when we knew how to fly

We could love til it made us both cry

Helpless in the palm of your hand

Like a child in a game

Would you break if I held you again

Won’t you let me try...

Would a promise be only a dream

Or my alibi...
