about

Beneath the still waters, an image vaguely appeared. The reflection is I, a prisoner of my mind, making peace with its wants and desires. Lured into the deepest depths, the enemy cried for blood as I foolishly offered myself. Piny Lara. I saw it with my own eyes. Its fascination forcefully fed my spirit. I knew I had to hide but was intrigued by the other side. Resting dormant, my inner warrior remained in a deep slumber. Send help. Piny Lara. The world is after me. It wants to kill me. Lord, I'm drowning. Piny Lara.

lyrics

Piny lara (Taya)
Kayuda man malo lemona (Taya man malo)
Piny lara (Taya)
Kayuda man malo lemona (Taya man malo)
Piny lara (Taya)
Kayuda man malo lemona (Taya man malo)
Piny lara (Taya)
Kayuda man malo lemona (Taya man malo)

Cover me, I think there’s something lurking in the water
Cover me, nikama kuna kitu nimeona
I’m going in, I think I’m going in
Going in, think it’s calling me
And oh, I just can’t resist, but something is coming
Even if I don’t know what’s waiting for me
Still, I don’t fear to give in
I feel it coming, I see it coming
Risking it all, i’m willing to cross on over

Moving in slowly, my days are over
Please check up on me, it’s getting closer
Moving in slowly, niwe nakungoja
We, ukowapi? it’s getting closer

Piny lara (Taya)
Kayuda man malo lemona (Taya man malo)
Piny lara (Taya)
Kayuda man malo lemona (Taya man malo)
Piny lara (Taya)
Kayuda man malo lemona (Taya man malo)
Piny lara (Taya)
Kayuda man malo lemona (Taya man malo)

Followed the signs that led to nowhere
I nearly saw my end, and
I wasn’t right, tried to be I swear
Nothing could have prepared
Me for the eyes, internalised
Then recognised all the lies, oh my, my, my
Temptations of mine came left to right
Left to decide, oh my, should I compromise yeah
But I won’t go down without a fight
No, I know that it’s not my time
Even through it all I will never fall
Know it’ll be alright

Moving in slowly, my days are over
Please check up on me, it’s getting closer
Moving in slowly, niwe nakungoja
We, ukowapi? it’s getting closer

Piny lara (Taya)
Kayuda man malo lemona (Taya man malo)
Piny lara (Taya)
Kayuda man malo lemona (Taya man malo)
Piny lara (Taya)
Kayuda man malo lemona (Taya man malo)
Piny lara (Taya)
Kayuda man malo lemona (Taya man malo)

Find myself, lose myself, running in a cycle
Find myself, lose myself, always in a cycle
Find myself, lose myself, running in a cycle
Find myself, lose myself, always in a cycle

Moving in slowly my days are over
Please check up on me it’s getting closer
Moving in slowly, mi nakungoja
We ukowapi? it’s getting closer

Piny lara (Taya)
Kayuda man malo lemona (Taya man malo)
Piny lara (Taya)
Kayuda man malo lemona (Taya man malo)
Piny lara (Taya)
Kayuda man malo lemona (Taya man malo)
Piny lara (Taya)
Kayuda man malo lemona (Taya man malo)
Piny lara (Taya)
Kayuda man malo lemona (Taya man malo)
Piny lara (Taya)
Kayuda man malo lemona (Taya man malo)
Piny lara (Taya)
Kayuda man malo lemona (Taya man malo)
Piny lara (Taya)
Kayuda man malo lemona (Taya man malo)
