Transmission/Michaelion lyrics

Part I: "Transmission"

[Intro: Ibeyi & IDMC Gosepl Choir]

Transmission, transmission, transmission

Transmission, transmission, transmission

[Verse 1: Naomi Diaz]

There must be a way out

Memories that bind

Revenge and loss now

Is the best word we've got

To open all the doors spent

The love we should fire

Is mine and yours

[Chorus: Lisa-Kaindé Diaz, Ibeyi, & IDMC Gosepl Choir]

Transmission

Lighting in the layers of the past, at last

We sin in our dearest strife (Transmission)

Facing a clearer sky (Transmission)

Sin in our dearest strife (Transmission)

We sin in our dearest strife (Transmission)

Facing a clearer sky (Transmission)

Sin in our dearest strife (Transmission)

[Chorus: Lisa-Kaindé Diaz, Ibeyi, & IDMC Gosepl Choir]

Transmission

Lighting in the layers of the past, at last

We sin in our dearest strife (Transmission)

Facing a clearer sky (Transmission)

Sin in our dearest strife (Transmission)

We sin in our dearest strife (Transmission)

Facing a clearer sky (Transmission)

Sin in our dearest strife (Transmission)

[Verse 2: Lisa Kaindé-Diaz]

Sing, our arms are wide

We climb the walls

Dance on the beats of hearts

One and all

[Chorus: Lisa-Kaindé Diaz, Ibeyi, & IDMC Gosepl Choir]

Transmission

Lighting in the layers of the past, at last

We sin in our dearest strife (Transmission)

Facing a clearer sky (Transmission)

Sin in our dearest strife (Transmission)

We sin in our dearest strife (Transmission)

Facing a clearer sky (Transmission)

Sin in our dearest strife (Transmission)

[Outro: Maya Dagnino]

Pies para que los quiero si tengo alas pa’ volar…

Después de todas las horas vividas…

Sin más deseo que seguir hasta encontrarse

Lentamente. Con enorme inquietud

Pero con la certeza de que todo lo rige la “sección de oro”

Hay un acomodo celular. Hay un movimiento. Hay luz

Todos los centros son los mismos

La locura no existe. Somos lo mismo que ya fuimos y seremos

Sin contar con el estúpido destino

Part II: "Michaelion"

[Verse 1: Lisa-Kaindé Diaz]

I've been thinking lately

How seasons fall apart

Back to the start

Should I share how I feel

Or bury it inside?

Or bury it inside?

[Chorus: Lisa-Kaindé Diaz]

Suddenly, strange and quiet

Like underwater

Suddenly, strange and quiet

Like underwater

[Post-Chorus: IDMC Gospel Choir]

Like underwater

Like underwater

Like underwater

Like underwater

[Interlude: Ibeyi & Claudia Rankine]

Transmission, transmission, transmission

I don't know what the water wanted

Transmission, transmission, transmission

I don't know what the water wanted

I don't know what the water wanted

[Verse 2: Lisa-Kaindé Diaz]

You take, I give

And as the seasons flow

I am growing old

Can't you hear me?

The meaning of it all

Vibrations I recall

[Chorus: Lisa-Kaindé Diaz]

Suddenly, strange and quiet

Like underwater

Suddenly, strange and quiet

Like underwater

[Chorus: Lisa-Kaindé Diaz]

Suddenly, strange and quiet

Like underwater

Suddenly, strange and quiet

Like underwater

[Outro: Maya Dagnino]

Pies para que los quiero si tengo alas pa' volar...
