Not in Vain Songtext
von Asaf Avidan

It wasn′t me, it wasn't you
It was only all the things we do

To keep this world from rolling thin
The hills and towers of our skin

I stretched too much, my bones were old
I couldn′t fit your broken mold

Oh, tonight, oh, tonight
Our hearts shall unite
Not in vain, not in vain
But in pain

Amen, amen
Amen

I drenched myself upon your sword
I rained and rained without a word

My titan fell, his water flowed
And by his carcass, lovers rowed

Their perfect boats on perfect seas
With perfect broken melodies


Oh, tonight, oh, tonight
Our hearts shall unite
Not in vain, not in vain
But in pain

Amen, amen
Amen

And then by light of chic hotels
We dimly saw the rising hell

I bent you down, I kissed your breasts
Hell took 'em both, then took the rest

I tried to love what I could find
The scattered crumbs Hell left behind

Oh, tonight, oh, tonight
Our hearts shall unite
Not in vain, not in vain
But in pain

Amen, amen
Amen

And even now, through fog and mist
I see the plot, I feel the twist

Your heart subdued, then came around
A second time to burn the ground


Where we both stood among the blaze
I still taste it through the haze

Oh, tonight, oh, tonight
Our hearts shall unite
Not in vain, not in vain
But in pain

Amen, amen
Amen

Amen, amen
Amen
