I Want To Be Brave (Madeleine) Lyrics

Madeleine
Shall her story end?
With this aftermath music,
My broken French?

Heal her, if you can
Pray the lions aren't waiting
Take her hand
I want to be brave, I want to be brave
But the night goes up in flames
The courage we need
A fury to tame
This madness, madness, madness

No more,
will I count the dead
Bending gathering words
I should have said

When the night falls
It scrapes its knees
We watch the houses on fire
And she says to me
I want to be brave, I want to be brave
But I don't think I'll love again
The dark is so deep
I've lost my way
In this madness, madness, madness

Over time, luck runs out
And fate is not your friend
Over time, good must go
And are we safe, safe yet?

Madeleine,
Can I escape again?
Out of a dragonfly jar
Am I safe yet?
