Paroles
Before the line, before the noise, Before the kingdoms claimed their choice, There were just two human voices, Calling out across the same green hills.

The flags we raised were made of fear, The lines we drew cut what was near, But soil remembers every seed, And rivers flow without a decree.

We carved those borders with old swords, We wrote our grudges into wars, That mood was the past, let it go, The modern light has something to show.
Siri, Angkor, temples old, Two peoples with a shared story told, What conquest stole, let time restore, We donโt need lines we die for anymore.

Before the line, we shared one sky, No border cut the stars up high, Now in this modern age we stand, Peace is the truth - extend your hand.
