STARGAZER - The Banquet of Shadows (La Pute de la Setlist de l'Empreinte)

+ Show full styles

CUSTOM

Glasses of anisette clinking underneath the lamp
While the past gently holds us in its silent camp
Accents singing out, voices rising high and clear
Stories that we tell even when they lose their fear

Laughter bursting out like lightning in the night
Before the silence takes back all its heavy might

Beneath the veranda, time has frozen still
Glasses raised to those we loved against our will
A ritual of shadows, a banquet of ghosts
Where we still rule a kingdom we miss the most

Anisette and fire in the summer night
Family secrets kept far away from sight

There is the older brother, the little sister, and my mother
Gathered round hot dishes helping one another
Fragrant couscous shared, shakshuka on the plate
flavors from back then that defy our fate

And when Christmas came, the scent of oreillettes
Golden in the hot oil, chasing all regrets
A heavy tradition of salt and blazing sun
That time could never fade, no matter what was done

Laughter bursting out like lightning in the night
Before the silence takes back all its heavy might

Beneath the veranda, time has frozen still
Glasses raised to those we loved against our will
A ritual of shadows, a banquet of ghosts
Where we still rule a kingdom we miss the most

Anisette and fire in the summer night
Family secrets kept far away from sight

Glass after glass, the ghosts are stepping in
Moving through this slow dance where we all begin
Drinking to the health of what is gone and past
In the quiet whisper of a world so vast

Beneath the veranda, time has frozen still
Glasses raised to those we loved against our will
A ritual of shadows, a banquet of ghosts
Where we still rule a kingdom we miss the most

Anisette and fire in the summer night
Family secrets kept far away from sight

The sound of glasses...
The silence returning...
At the table...
In the night unburning.

Around the large table where the sunlight lingers on We rewrite the world while looking past each other's dawn Spanish roots hidden deep within our memories Dancing flamenco in the evening shadows freeze Glasses of anisette clinking underneath the lamp While the past gently holds us in its silent camp Accents singing out, voices rising high and clear Stories that we tell even when they lose their fear Laughter bursting out like lightning in the night Before the silence takes back all its heavy might Beneath the veranda, time has frozen still Glasses raised to those we loved against our will A ritual of shadows, a banquet of ghosts Where we still rule a kingdom we miss the most Anisette and fire in the summer night Family secrets kept far away from sight There is the older brother, the little sister, and my mother Gathered round hot dishes helping one another Fragrant couscous shared, shakshuka on the plate flavors from back then that defy our fate And when Christmas came, the scent of oreillettes Golden in the hot oil, chasing all regrets A heavy tradition of salt and blazing sun That time could never fade, no matter what was done Laughter bursting out like lightning in the night Before the silence takes back all its heavy might Beneath the veranda, time has frozen still Glasses raised to those we loved against our will A ritual of shadows, a banquet of ghosts Where we still rule a kingdom we miss the most Anisette and fire in the summer night Family secrets kept far away from sight Glass after glass, the ghosts are stepping in Moving through this slow dance where we all begin Drinking to the health of what is gone and past In the quiet whisper of a world so vast Beneath the veranda, time has frozen still Glasses raised to those we loved against our will A ritual of shadows, a banquet of ghosts Where we still rule a kingdom we miss the most Anisette and fire in the summer night Family secrets kept far away from sight The sound of glasses...
