Black Bear & Night Falls - Overflow the Borders

Descent into Sofia, the vigilance of Vitosha
Looms over the city, commanding blind devotion
A pilgrimage to origins, your father had to flee
Made enemy of the state, for wanting to be free
Monasteries in the mountains, orthodoxy on the walls
A silence of oppression, deafening in the halls
If you want freedom, first you find it within
They can take it from the outside, but not from where it begins
Reflections in the rearview may appear closer than they are
But nothing can be fully seen, until you ditch the car
Ghosts in the graveyard, candles burning over bones
A jungle filled with prayers, lipstick on a stone
A simple meal in a field, kashkaval and bread
The simpler is the pleasure, the more the soul is fed
Rakia and ruby wine, softening the evening
Now we can begin to shape the shades of meaning
If you want freedom, first you find it within
They can take it from the outside, but not from where it begins
Reflections in the rearview may appear closer than they are
But nothing can be fully seen, until you ditch the car
Don't stop, just keep on walking
Don't take no marching orders
Fight only for the right to
Overflow the borders
Feeling for the roots now, half estranged, half embraced
Your existence a rebellion, the fruit of the escape
Radio knows no boundaries, broadcast cast abroad
You are the transmission, blazing through the fog
Cinnamon skin in Sinemorets where the river meets the sea
Above the beach, a bluff, a single silhouetted tree
If you want freedom, first you find it within
They can take it from the outside, but not from where it begins
Reflections in the rearview may appear closer than they are
But nothing can be fully seen, until you ditch the car
Don't stop, just keep on walking
Don't take no marching orders
Fight only for the right to
Overflow the borders
