L'APRÈS-MONDE
Étreintes vides
Nos corps dansent à l'infini
Sur le verre
Du miroir aux alouettes
Échos de métal
Visages sans reflet
Cristallin mon sang
Noir de Jais
À travers les nuages d'information
La vérité est éphémère
Pour tout savoir et perdre son temps
Bienvenue au club l'après monde

BEACHHEAD
In the early hours
Full of empty streets
Eyes are looking through windows
To see if the daylight
Ever reach the ground
Or are the clouds too thick?
Let our childrens go
Born of a struggle
Raised as an army
Dying endlessly
Who's to take the blame?
Who can make it change?
Maybe no one will
Let our childrens go

BERNER L'ASSASSIN
Sous mon manteau d'eau je marche
Indifférent aux alentours
La colère sous le tapis
Mon rythme de pas sans merci
Je range mon imagination
Inconscient des richesses du monde
Comme un mégalomane
Complice de la mascarade
Je rêve d'une femme transparente
Aux insaisissables seins
À l'intimité sans refuge
Vulnérable jusqu'au fond des os
M'enivrer me fais voyager
La terre en un cercle vicieux
Je veux renaître sans attendre
Enfin berner l'assassin

PAPER CRANE
Inside your hungry eyes
There is a long road
So many different paths
you'll have to walk alone
Through seas and giant grass
Leading to meadows
Open up
Oh my darling
Open up
All or nothing
Until the day is done
And we feel safe again
Pretending to be strong
Pretending it's a game
You'll find it peaceful here
Out in the forest
Open up
Oh my darling
Open up
All or nothing
My louise!
Etched on every doorstep
Fantasy!
Can't imagine what else
You'll find a way
Leading out of yourself
You'll find a way
Bleeding out of yourself
You'll find a way
Leading out of yourself

BELLE DE JOUR
Belle de jour comme de nuit
Brûle de couleurs magique
La fournaise saute et toi dehors
Tu ris dans les feuilles
Et moi composant ma folie
Qui me trompe me manipule
Mes idées fixes au babillard
Mon brouillard de noir
Coureurs de l'apocalypse
Unissons nous dans la décadence
Pourquoi se chasser dans la ville
Quand s'ignorer est si facile?
Avant qu'on s'évapore
J'ai accepté tranquille dans l'âme
Les dieux, la mort
Ma nature carnivore
J'ai espéré franchir le seuil
Des mots qui brillent plus fort que la vie
Mon cahier couvert
De grands idéaux
À l'automne au temps des vendanges
Un p'tit verre s'impose

Black River

BLACK RIVER
Through the forest
Far from streets
There's no turning back
There's no grief
Let me forget
Let me sleep
Cure the poison
Haunting my head
Wearing my wounds
like my favorite shirt
This is the great vomit
I've longed for
Where to?
What for?
This river I've crossed before
Bright pearls rise from the deep
Black river talking to me
Bright pearls rises from the deep
Black river you look just like me
Nothing hiding behind curtain walls
Nothing we an carry over
Out with the weary life
I'm sorry I've been a long time gone
What a wonderful life
When everywhere just feels like home

LITTLE STAR
Little star, what have you learned?
Tell me how long will I burn?
When all my past stand behind
Will you shine on brighter days?
When all my fire is spent
When my body wither and bend
Will you stay at the side of my bed?
Hold the light and kiss me farewell
Time is only speeding up
For us, poor us
Turning demons into dust
Stardust, stardust
Until nothing here remains
I know, I know
And our child, how will he grow?
Will he love as much as we've shown?
Now help me climb up the stairs
Hold me while I slip through

Noirs corridors

NOIRS CORRIDORS
Les châteaux mouillés
Au pied des étoiles
Nos épaves de bois
Rongées par le feu d'argent
Baignant dans le sang
Des nuits sans éveil
Nos passions mortelles
Transportées par le vent
Dansent les vautours
Dors bien mon amour
« Un air bizarre »
Plein de sottises, un savoir-faire
« Un cri perçant »
Sur les routes au visage d'hiver
« Dis-moi la mer »
Une soif folle dans le désert
« Rentre au bercail »
Chercher l'amour au cimetière
Perdu aux champs d'hier
Le soleil montgolfière
Fait jour de fête
Chante les courants
Songe aux nuages dans le firmament
Ta peau en fleur
Glisse sur les pages de mon esprit ailleurs
Berce mes hantises noires
Noirs corridors
Où vacillent les lueurs du mauvais sort
Viens prends mon âme
C'est à toi d'en faire ce que tu veux

Sword Of Heart
04:00
|

SWORD OF HEART
Shy, ashamed and awkward we fall
Faster than the bristling leaves
While old curses linger through the halls
Our ghosts scared of the afterlife
Up, up, climb up the wisdom wall!
Carry our souls to the light
Our blood is a poisonous wine
Cool as the forest breeze
Why won't the fight
Come to an end?
« We will stand for them »
This sword of heart lays in your hands
«We will love for them»
We can wonder, but in the end
Tomorrow we fall
Tortured, grim and cold
Better shoot the dice for me
And all of the praises and gold
Won't change a thing you'll see
Why won't the fight
Come to an end?
« We will stand for them »
This sword of heart lays in your hands
«We will love for them»
We can wander, but in the end
Tomorrow we fall
Madmen of a generation gone
Laughing lions at your feets
The poor man's been erased for too long, too long
Smoke and mirrors will reveal
Your true self naked

Lost At Sea

LOST AT SEA
Lost in the well
Singing « ma belle »
Ain't it funny how love
Doesn't set me free?
I'm out of time but
The secret's mine
Blazing like a comet
Through the air and seas
Hurry up while the sun don't shine
Before the streets turns you blind
We'll get shopping frenzy downtown
There is no truth
No distant place
Our boats only sailing
To get lost at sea

Springtime

SPRINGTIME
Laughing at the sea
It's authenticity
What lies beyond the waves
Is a world pointless and empty
Nothing seems to move
Only Doxa floating
Be my mirror my soul
We'll pass away without a sound
I'm under the spell
Bewitched and scared to feel again
The hours are so cold
Since I last saw you pierce my heart
And drink what came out of it
Swimming down the stream
Deep into the night
I can hear the crowd
They're artificial and obsene
Another empty dream
You and I walking for a while
Our breaths fresh like mint
Whispering words that don't make sense
I think I'm going insane
It's springtime!

Young Moon

YOUNG MOON
Left out in the corner
Might as well be dead
I can't believe
You still care
Tell me what's your story?
Are you feeling hurt?
They won't listen
And you won't tell
Young moon
Shining on the restless
Puzzles that can't be resolved
Hey now, don't you worry baby
Your eyes are all I see
Still stuck in the corner
Tell me when I'll be dead
I can't believe
You're still there
//
While we're still into this
Let's make it right
We'll get straight down to it
No surmise
Be strong
Carry on
Young moon

Don't Be Late

DON'T BE LATE
Have a good laugh
Enjoy your stay
Along the river songs will fire away
Tales to be told
Confessions to be made
Tell the primary school boys
Don't be late!
Let your heart be broken
Your figure made silent
The gift of living brings a share of pain
But keep your chin up
Your feets walkin'
Do yourself a favor and hush it away
If the question fills your mind
Go easy now
Don't let it drag you down
Put the record once again
Be entertained
By the quality of sound
The nuances that the artist
Took a life to get to you
Welcome to the show
Where there's no rhymes or reasons
At eight o clock the band hits the stage
You'll be taken alive but I'm sorry to say
The hotels are packed
There's no place to stay
