(Intro - Soft acoustic guitar) [Verse 1] After the ladybug comes the butterfly, After the rain comes the sunshine, After winter comes spring, After the heat comes the cold. So many hot and cold shifts, So many frights! [Verse 2] After grief comes comfort, After torment comes peace, After solitude comes fullness, After the night, a new day is reborn. So many victories, so much bravery, So many tokens of love. 🎙️ [Chorus] (Tempo rises, cello enters) Everything turns, everything changes, and everything fades away, To the rhythm of the tides and our footsteps. Between the rhymes and the adages, We cross through time and ages. Nothing is fixed beneath the sun, At the end of the world, everything awakens! [Verse 3] After temptation comes tenderness, After temptation come caresses, After caresses come promises. So many empty promises, So many uncertain words, So many gloomy plains! [Verse 4] After impatience comes resilience, After carelessness comes arrogance. After the insult comes punishment, Then one swallow makes a summer, And opportunity makes the thief... So many outdated nonsenses, So many old-fashioned adages! 🎙️ [Chorus] Everything turns, everything changes, and everything fades away, To the rhythm of the tides and our footsteps. Between the rhymes and the adages, We cross through time and ages. Nothing is fixed beneath the sun, At the end of the world, everything awakens! [Bridge] After expiation comes forgiveness, After grief comes acceptance. To death, life has resigned itself, Everything is birth and rebirth, Everything is resilience and resurgence... [Final Verse / Outro] After the beginning comes the end. Does everything fade and start again? Everything has an end, and nothing is fixed. (Slowing tempo, light piano notes) ...No, nothing is ever fixed. (Fade out instrumental outro)
