Nordic Discord Challenge - Summer Bingo B1 Genre: Klezmer Theme: Thirst Lyrics: I count the cracks across the ceiling stone Every midnight sounds the same alone The moon remembers every face I've lost But never tells me if they're worth the cost The wind still knocks upon my empty door Like it believes I'm human anymore I don't fear the light because it burns I fear the night because it always returns I'm all thirst, no peace, no end in sight A hollow heart that only wakes at night Every heartbeat passing is a river I can't cross Every drop I dream of is another piece I've lost I drink to live, I live to mourn Forever hungry, never reborn I'm all thirst And never full The roses bloom where I refuse to tread Growing from the names inside my head I hear laughter through the chapel walls But silence is the only voice that calls Immortality's a cup that never dries Filled with echoes, never satisfied If I could trade these crimson centuries For one warm sunrise on my skin I'd let the hunger bury me Instead of letting it win I'm all thirst, no home beneath the sky A lonely ghost that simply cannot die Every crimson promise fades before it's ever enough Every fleeting comfort turns to dust instead of love I drink to breathe, I breathe to mourn A heart with fangs forever worn I'm all thirst Waiting for a dawn That will never know my name
