The Last String (A tribute to François DEMERCASTEL 1964-2025)

"The Last String" (Verse 1) He takes his guitar, twelve strings in echo, The wind whispers words he knows too well. The sea calls him, endless, without rest, He smiles in silence, despite it all, he leaves alone. (Chorus) Farewell to the lights, farewell to the refrains, He heads for the horizon, where everything ends. His guitar sings, one last time, A melody lost in the waves. (Verse 2) The waves embrace him, the sky turns dark, He plays for the stars, for his last hope. The weight of his soul, drowned in the chords, He leaves behind the rumble of the harbor. (Chorus) Farewell to the lights, farewell to the refrains, He heads for the horizon, where everything ends. His guitar sings, one last time, A melody lost in the waves. (Bridge) And in the silence, when the sea falls asleep, You can still hear his chord resonating. A smile floats, out there, on the waters, A musician gone, carried away by the words. (Final Chorus) Farewell to the lights, farewell to the refrains, He is the horizon, where everything ends. His guitar falls silent, but his song remains king, An eternity dancing deep within me.
