The island bathes in the sun's bright rays   Distant hills wear a shroud of grey   A lonely breeze whispers in the trees   Sole witness to history      Fleeting memories rise   From the shadows of my mind   Sing "nonomori" - endless corridors   Say "nonomori" - hopeless warriors   You were there   You were there      Am I forever dreaming   How to define the way I'm feeling      You were there   Countless visions they haunt me in my sleep   You were there   Though forgotten all promises we keep      Slaves to our destiny   I recall a melody   Sing "nonomori" - seasons lit with gold   Say "nonomori" - legends yet untold   You were there   You were there      Happiness follows sorrow   Only believing in tomorrow      You were there   Countless visions they haunt me in my sleep   You were there   Though forgotten all promises we keep      The island bathes in the sun's bright rays   Distant hills wear a shroud of grey   A lonely breeze whispers in the trees   Sole key to this mystery
