TESTO
Seagulls circle in the sky
hungry waves swallow our cries
This rusty hull barely afloat
the air is filled with wailing and moans
Hold tight, Hold fast, stay by my side
My friend Biran and I rode through the desert
Twenty-eight of us in a beat up pickup truck
we walked through the dunes for twenty-two hours,
Biran collapsed... and died in my arms
When I finally got to Libya they locked me up in some prison
where I waited for a ship and days turned to weeks
And there came a time when I wondered how long I could carry on
And so many times I thought I couldn't bear any more
And day after day I just told myself, don't give up, not now
And every time I told myself, hold fast, it’s just matter of time...
time… time… time… hold tight… hold tight… hold fast…
Hold fast… hold fast… hold fast… hold fast...
Now here on this ship the engine is stalling
a tiny light flickers far away on the dark horizon
and In a desperate attempt to signal for help
someone sets a blanket ablaze
suddenly the fire is spreading all around
I dive into the darkness and gasp in salty water
And I see the fire receding, far away on the surface
Where mothers are still screaming and children crying
while the men try in vain to put out the fire
put out the hell, put out the fire
put out the hell, put out the fire
put out the hell, put out the fire
Hold fast... hold fast... hold fast… hold fast...
And I finally realise
that I’m I'm bound to the darkness,
it swallows me fast
with my brothers and sisters
in this blue frontier
hold fast… stay by my side
