We will go

We will go at night, at the hour where we doubt
That tomorrow comes again
Far for the submissive cities, we'll follow the highway
Then we will loose all norths1
 
We will discard our keys, our maps/cards2 and our codes
Prisons to hold us back
All those people that we see living like they're ignoring
That one day they'll have to die
 
And that get it by surprise one night
 
Oh beauty, we will go
We'll leave you and I, where ? I don't know
Only the roads are beautiful
No matter where they lead us
Oh beauty, we will go, we'll follow the stars and the gold diggers
If we find some, we'll seek again
 
We escape from nothing even from our own flights
When we land we are dead
Oh I obeyed so much, choosed so little, girl
And the time wasted devours me
 
We will take the colds, the burns straight up
We will ban the tepidness
Of the smokes, the alcohols and the armored relaxants
That stole away our pains
The truth won't scare us no more
 
Oh beauty, we will go
We'll leave you and I, where ? I don't know
Only the roads shake
Destinations are all alike
Oh beauty, you will see
we'll follow the stars and the gold diggers
We will never stop in ports
 
Beauty, we will go
And maybe the shadow won't catch up with us
We will not change the world
But he will not change us
My beauty, take my arm
We'll be thousands in that case, you will see
And even if everything is played out, we will go, we will go
 
Even if everything is played out
Beside me,
You know there is beautiful roads
And believe me, we will go, you will see
If you believe me, beauty
If you believe me, beauty
One day we'll leave
If you believe me, beauty
One day
