Umlilo Wamadlozi (έκδοση 2)

Verse

Dust on the floorboards, embers still low

Feet on the concrete, nowhere to go

Smoke in the rafters, drums in my chest

Ash-grey horizon breathing out west

Pre-Chorus

Hold on, hold on, the night's letting go

Hands up, hands up, feel the heat in the glow

Hold on, hold on, watch the dark turn to gold

Chorus

Umlilo wamadlozi, burning into the light

Umlilo wamadlozi, we danced through the night

Umlilo wamadlozi, rising, rising, so bright

Umlilo wamadlozi, sunrise taking flight

Verse

Sweat on my shoulders, salt on my skin

Bassline still moving the blood in my veins

Gate keeper's shadow gone soft in the sun

Ember hearts glowing, the fire's not done

Pre-Chorus

Hold on, hold on, the night's letting go

Hands up, hands up, feel the heat in the glow

Hold on, hold on, watch the dark turn to gold

Chorus

Umlilo wamadlozi, burning into the light

Umlilo wamadlozi, we danced through the night

Umlilo wamadlozi, rising, rising, so bright

Umlilo wamadlozi, sunrise taking flight

Bridge

Ancestors calling from the edge of the sky

Feet on the earth now, arms open wide

No more shadows, no more disguise

Just the fire and the light in our eyes

Chorus

Umlilo wamadlozi, burning into the light

Umlilo wamadlozi, we danced through the night

Umlilo wamadlozi, rising, rising, so bright

Umlilo wamadlozi, sunrise taking flight
