Midnight rises atop the towers
_____
The voices fall silent and everything turns blind and deaf
_____
The night hides for a few hours
_____
The dirty zone and the wrecks and the ugliness
_____
I didn't choose to be born here
_____
Between ignorance and violence and boredom
_____
I'll get out, I promise myself
_____
And if I have to, I'll use legal means
_____
Fly me away Fly me away Fly me away
_____
Far from this fate that sticks to my skin
_____
Fill my head with other horizons, other words
_____
No questions nor rebellion
_____
Rules of the game set but the dice are loaded
_____
Winter is ice, summer is fire
_____
Here, there's never a season to feel better
_____
I didn't choose to live here
_____
Between submission, fear or abandonment
_____
I'll get out, I swear to you
_____
With books, I'll break through all these walls
_____
Fly me away Fly me away Fly me away
_____
Far from this fate that sticks to my skin
_____
Fill my head with other horizons, other words
_____
Don't leave me here take me away, fly me away
_____
Meet other eyes that won't give in
_____
Fly me away, pull me out of here
_____
Show me those other lives I don't know
_____
Fly me away Fly me away Fly me away
_____
Look closely at me, I don't look like them
_____
Don't leave me here fly me away
_____
With or without you, I won't end up like that
