The island bathes in the sun's bright rays.
Distant hills wear a shroud of grey.
A lonely breeze whispers in the trees.
Sole witness to history.
Fleeting memories rise,
From the shadows of my mind.
Sing "nonomori", endless corridors
Say "nonomori", hopeless warriors
You were there
You were there
Am I forever dreaming How to define the way I'm feeling
You were there Countless visions they haunt me in my sleep You were there Though forgotten all promises we keep
Slaves to our destiny I recall a melody Sing "nonomori", seasons lit with gold Say "nonomori", legends yet untold You were there You were there
Happiness follows sorrow Only believing in tomorrow
You were there Countless visions they haunt me in my sleep You were there Though forgotten all promises we keep
The island bathes in the sun's bright rays Distant hills wear a shroud of grey A lonely breeze whispers in the trees Sole key to this mystery
