Harakiri - Serj Tankian

We’re the day birds

Deciding to fly against the sky

Within our dreams, we all wake up

To kiss the ones who are born to die

We’re the greying herds

Hurting each other with our lies

Within our dreams, we all wake up

To kiss the ones who are born…

Born to die

Born to die

The drum fish

They beached themselves in Harakiri

The blackbirds

They fell in thousands from the sky

Their red wings

Streaming down from the higher seas

Deflected by the ground

They crowned the sun

They crowned the sun (They crowned the sun)

They crowned the sun (They crowned the sun)

But I believe that they are free

When their time was done (Their time was done)

They were drowned by the only one (They crowned the sun)

But I believe that they are free

Washed by the sun

Our statues

The soaring edifice of our times

Detracted from the ways of the wise

The future will view all history as a crime

So father, tell us when is the time to rise

They crowned the sun (They crowned the sun)

They crowned the sun (They crowned the sun)

But I believe that they are free

When their time was done (Their time was done)

They were drowned by the only one (They crowned the sun)

But I believe that they are free

We’re the day birds

Deciding to fly against the sky

Within our dreams, we all wake up

To kiss the ones who are born to die

We’re the greying herds

Hurting each other with our lies

Within our dreams, we all wake up

To kiss the ones who are born…

Born to die

They crowned the sun (They crowned the sun)

They crowned the sun (They crowned the sun)

But I believe that they are free

When their time was done (Their time was done)

They were drowned by the only one (They crowned the sun)

But I believe that they are free

They crowned the sun (They crowned the sun)

They crowned the sun (They crowned the sun)

But I believe that they are free

And we believe that they are free

Cause I believe that they are me

Washed by the sun
