Lyrics for Prisoner of Mars

Searching news ways of laughing Ones whereby one could Express and transform All the shattering All the gratuitious The burdens of guilt Growing these new ways Will dawn on us if We look hard enough Searching and finding Mais l'arbre tombe (la-la-la, la-la-la) Á la terre l'arbre tombe (la-la-la, la-la-la) Le son de ton silence (la-la-la, la-la-la) M'aide á toucher le fond (la-la-la, la-la-la) Et lac salé de l'âme Lac salé oû je?"meurs"? Le son de ton silence (la-la-la, la-la-la) M'apprend aussi qu'un jour ((la-la-la, la-la-la) Je vainquerai ma douleur Cette vague de douleur Qui entre mon bras droit (la-la-la, la-la-la) Searching new ways of yodeling Once whereby one could Express and convey Longlasting virtue Without destruction Without rejection Hoping these new ways Will dawn on us if We look hard enough Hoping and searching
