Lyrics

Nimh

[Verse 1: Jean]

Becoming immortal is a cursed crusade

A nemesis, leading to the blade

The white citadel, they will have to find

They need more than a lifetime not lose their minds

[Pre-Chorus]

Becoming immortal is a cursed crusade

Only a fool could try it

Voiceless and blind in the void!

Only a fool could fight it

Surrounded by the eternal stars !

Only a fool could still believe it

[Chorus]

All life will fall and rise

N-I

Somewhere in the vastness they'll shine

M-H

[Pre-Chorus]

Becoming immortal is a cursed crusade

Only a fool could try it

Voiceless and blind in the void!

Only a fool could fight it

Surrounded by the eternal stars !

Only a fool could still believe it

[Chorus]

All life will fall and rise

N-I

Somewhere in the vastness they'll shine

M-H

[Verse 2]

In search of a new world

In search of a new world

The ship has been traveling for hundreds of years

Carrying away the corruptible hearts of men

The corruptible hearts of men

Animated by avenging faith

Leading them to the gates of madness and despair

Where only destruction reigns

For every star in the sky

A human dream has faded

As bright as these celestial lights are

Darkness envelops the world

For every dream that has faded

A fire is lit in our hearts

We'll carry these dreams beyond

And beg forgiveness to our mother!

Mother! Mother! Mother! Mother!

Mother! Mother! Mother! Mother!

[Verse 3: Rémi]

On their knees they keep crawling

Fleeing chaos they have started

It's an endless burden

I'll take it for you

The consequence of our lifetime

[Outro: Jean]

Becoming immortal is a cursed crusade

A nemesis, leading to the blade

The white citadel will never be find

The NIMH is a grave for the mind
