Live Again
Author Composer: Bernard Lavilliers

When you no longer hear in your heavy heart
Your black blood beating, veiling the drums
And when the sun like a wound
Gives way to the night when death reassures
You must live again

How many erasures, how many sleepless nights
To get close to this song that haunts me
What it takes of blood to give life
What it takes of time to touch oblivion
And live again

Live again
Live like a cry
Cry of blood
Of love too
Live elsewhere
Survive here
The battle is never over
Who is the victor?

What it takes to run to have breath
What it needs to feel above the abyss
What it takes to hide for a word of love
What it takes to kill to see the day
And live again

Live again
Live like a cry
Cry of blood
Of love too
Live elsewhere
Survive here
The battle is never over
Who is the victor?

What it takes to let go for this altitude
What it takes to force for solitude
It takes presence to hold the stage
Take distances to hold yours
And live again

Live again
Live like a cry
Cry of blood
Of love too
Live elsewhere
Survive here
The battle is never over
Who is the victor?

When you no longer hear in your heavy heart
Your black blood beating, veiling the drums
And when the sun like a wound
Gives way to the night when death reassures
You must live again

To live again
And live again.
