Harakiri Lyrics - 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 lives 

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 hara-kiri 

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 

But I believe that they are free 

When their time was done 

They were drowned by the only One 

But I believe that they are free 

Washed by the sun 

Our statues 

The soaring edifice of our times 

Detracting 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 

But I believe that they are free 

When their time was done 

They were drowned by the only One 

But I believe that they are free 

We're the day birds 

Deciding to fly against the sky 

Withing 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 lives 

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 

But I believe that they are free 

When their time was done 

They were drowned by the only one 

But I believe that they are free 

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
