lyrics

HOMELAND

I follow a glowing land
that moves the oceans
Home is in places where loved ones fight

The water is rising
The kings cast their net to the flood
I reach for the land that pulls me to sky

The moon is a homeland

How many more will be lured
By dreams corrupted
Trapped in pyramids
Ruled by those on the summit

The fire on the mountain
Was lit by the sons of kings
Feeding on strangers who came
Like moths to the flame  
 
The moon is a homeland 

Their castles, their banks, their prisons
Their flags and their borders
The lines that condemn the traveler to die

They blur in the moonlight
They’re drowned by the tide
I bless the land that follows me everywhere

The moon is a homeland 
 

--Lydian (they/them)

Sigo una tierra que brilla

que mueve los océanos

El hogar está donde los seres queridos luchan

El agua sube

Los reyes arrojaron sus redes al diluvio

Busco la tierra que me sube al cielo

La luna es una patria

Cuantos más serán atraídos

Por sueños corrompidos

Atrapados en pirámides

Gobernados por los de la cima

El fuego en la montaña

Fue iluminado por los hijos de reyes

Alimentándose de extranjeros que vinieron

Como polillas a la llama

La luna es una patria

Sus castillos, sus bancos, sus cárceles

Sus banderas y sus fronteras

Las líneas que condenan al viajante a morir

Son empañados por la luz de la luna

Están ahogados por la marea

Bendigo la tierra que me sigue a todas partes

La luna es una patria
