Ibeyi – Transmission/Michaelion lyrics

Part I: "Transmission"

[Intro: Ibeyi & IDMC Gosepl Choir]
Transmission, transmission, transmission
Transmission, transmission, transmission

[Verse 1: Naomi Diaz]
There must be a way out
Memories that bind
Revenge and loss now
Is the best word we've got
To open all the doors spent
The love we should fire
Is mine and yours

[Chorus: Lisa-Kaindé Diaz, Ibeyi, & IDMC Gosepl Choir]
Transmission
Lighting in the layers of the past, at last
We sin in our dearest strife (Transmission)
Facing a clearer sky (Transmission)
Sin in our dearest strife (Transmission)
We sin in our dearest strife (Transmission)
Facing a clearer sky (Transmission)
Sin in our dearest strife (Transmission)

[Chorus: Lisa-Kaindé Diaz, Ibeyi, & IDMC Gosepl Choir]
Transmission
Lighting in the layers of the past, at last
We sin in our dearest strife (Transmission)
Facing a clearer sky (Transmission)
Sin in our dearest strife (Transmission)
We sin in our dearest strife (Transmission)
Facing a clearer sky (Transmission)
Sin in our dearest strife (Transmission)

[Verse 2: Lisa Kaindé-Diaz]
Sing, our arms are wide
We climb the walls
Dance on the beats of hearts
One and all

[Chorus: Lisa-Kaindé Diaz, Ibeyi, & IDMC Gosepl Choir]
Transmission
Lighting in the layers of the past, at last
We sin in our dearest strife (Transmission)
Facing a clearer sky (Transmission)
Sin in our dearest strife (Transmission)
We sin in our dearest strife (Transmission)
Facing a clearer sky (Transmission)
Sin in our dearest strife (Transmission)

[Outro: Maya Dagnino]
Pies para que los quiero si tengo alas pa’ volar…
Después de todas las horas vividas…
Sin más deseo que seguir hasta encontrarse
Lentamente. Con enorme inquietud
Pero con la certeza de que todo lo rige la “sección de oro”
Hay un acomodo celular. Hay un movimiento. Hay luz
Todos los centros son los mismos
La locura no existe. Somos lo mismo que ya fuimos y seremos
Sin contar con el estúpido destino

Part II: "Michaelion"

[Verse 1: Lisa-Kaindé Diaz]
I've been thinking lately
How seasons fall apart
Back to the start
Should I share how I feel
Or bury it inside?
Or bury it inside?

[Chorus: Lisa-Kaindé Diaz]
Suddenly, strange and quiet
Like underwater
Suddenly, strange and quiet
Like underwater

[Post-Chorus: IDMC Gospel Choir]
Like underwater
Like underwater
Like underwater
Like underwater

[Interlude: Ibeyi & Claudia Rankine]
Transmission, transmission, transmission
I don't know what the water wanted
Transmission, transmission, transmission
I don't know what the water wanted
I don't know what the water wanted

[Verse 2: Lisa-Kaindé Diaz]
You take, I give
And as the seasons flow
I am growing old
Can't you hear me?
The meaning of it all
Vibrations I recall

[Chorus: Lisa-Kaindé Diaz]
Suddenly, strange and quiet
Like underwater
Suddenly, strange and quiet
Like underwater

[Chorus: Lisa-Kaindé Diaz]
Suddenly, strange and quiet
Like underwater
Suddenly, strange and quiet
Like underwater

[Outro: Maya Dagnino]
Pies para que los quiero si tengo alas pa' volar...
