First of all,
I fuck all of you.
And after all,
I despise you.
But no wrath will strike you
If you don't make me a fool.
What are you looking at ?
What makes you so sure ?
Crowd of puppets
You are !
I wanna be alone, just with you,
All the time I’d need.
Your world's so cold
And so misty, so clouded.
You've invited me
In a dream
Where i stay lost, like petrified.
But I live in a realm beyond your soul.
You don't need
To understand
And you don't know
anything
I say that you’re worth nothing.
I'm gonna take everything.
First of all,
I fuck all of you.
And after all,
I despise you.
But no wrath will strike me
'Cause I will kill you all.

I would have found a new identity to charm you one more time, to make you remember.
I would have dressed the skin of another to surprise you, to captivate you.
Your mind would have made me a rough diamond for your eyes, for your heart, for your essence.
I would have come back from hell to tell you how i fought demonic and divine creatures to build a religion of which you'd be the goddess but...
But I'm not her.
What do you feel when your lips roam all over her body, when you go where i can't wait for you?
I'd like to leave my own ship to be the one you should have loved.
But I know that i'm forever the one who used to.
I would have gone back in time to stop everything that would have torn you from my arms.
And if this would have not been enough, I'd have destroyed the entire world and you'd have hated me for that 'cause...
Cause I'm not her.
What do you feel when your lips roam all over her body, when you go where i can't wait for you?
I'd like to leave my own ship to be the one you should have loved.
But I know that i'm forever the one who used to.
I would have found a real girl body to charm you one more time.

Hold on to what I am

Now we’re at
that point I need you.
Hard to set you the plot
that takes shape behind these shields,
Yet, you’ll have to go over.
Now we’re at
that point, you need to
Know they’re just waiting for you.
Set and Apophis are close
To be crucified by Ra.
Now we’re at
that point you know that
we have heard that you’re doubting.
What's the use to start
if you don't go through till the end ?
Giving up is no more an option.
You can rise up against legions
If you hold on to me.
Disappearing is now ruled out.
Feel your power rolling out
When you hold on to me, to me.
I’m giving you all my strength then
Hold on to me.
I’m giving you all my life then
Hold on.

Crown the insane
05:01

|
My kisses soil your skin.
They resonate as a settled breath, as a clock’s hand.
The crown that I put on your forehead merges me with your flesh.
I'm just there.
You stay there, unmoving, naked in the darkness.
Your senses are eagerly awakening.
You stay there, unmoving, waiting for madness.
You can already feel me close to you.
But It's too late right now to escape.
You stay there, lost and dying, quite soulless.
I'm above, ready to lay down on you
And it's too late right now to escape.
My kisses soil your skin.
They resonate as a settled breath, as a clock’s hand.
The crown that I put on your forehead merges me with your flesh.
I'm just there (3x)
So close to you.
My kisses soil your skin.
They resonate as a settled breath, as a clock’s hand.
The crown that I put on your forehead merges me with your flesh.

Always the same fucking tiredness
Always this feeling of heaviness,
which hugs me when the day goes away.
It's hammering
in my skull.
I'm frozen in the middle of my foes.
I kneel down
and close my eyes
To find what brings me to life.
and...
I know, right now, that we face the good direction.
I don't know why I vibrate
when crystal and gold slide on the steel track.
And I don't know how it begins
But I can feel, deep down within myself
This ardour witch engulfs my whole body. That's insane !
And I don't know how, but you can see that we face the good direction.
I can't get rid of that heaviness
which crushes me as soon as the day comes back.
It's hammering
in my skull.
I'm frozen in the middle of my foes.
I kneel down
and close my eyes
To find what keeps me alive.
Still this same fucking tiredness
Yes, always this fucking tiredness
which crushes me again and again.
But...
I know, right now, that we face the good direction.
I don't know why I vibrate
when crystal and gold slide on the steel track.
And I don't know how it begins
But I can feel, deep down within myself
This ardour witch engulfs my whole body. That's insane !
And I don't know how, but you can see that we face the good direction.

So long I’ve been hanging ‘round here.
I can’t breathe anymore.
I am now facing a weir.
with no colour neither door.
I need more light,
delight and hope.
I’m dying here in this wreck
That i can’t cope, but…
Over there, the residents shine.
Their cities dazzle like stars.
That’s why I‘ll take the ship to find
The United States of Mars.
I scraped every last centime
In a last rough breath
For a one-way ticket far from this grime,
To escape this certain death.
At last, a spark
lits my darkness.
The more I move away
The more I find my liveliness.
‘cause…
Over there, the residents shine.
Over there, the cities dazzle like stars.
Over there, I’ll burn out
in the core of Mars.
And over there, the residents shine.
Their cities dazzle like stars.
That’s why I‘ll take the ship to find
The United States of Mars.

Sun's yours
03:58

You rise much higher than Icarus
because the sun belongs to you.
Gold will beat your feverish temple
while bridges will thrive in your pocket.
They harp
that money can’t buy happiness.
You know that this wonder
only flatters the pioneers, the greats.
Not amazing
to note that the preachers who hammer
this adage
have their wallet
empty as much as their eyes.
You rise much higher than Icarus
because the sun belongs to you.
It must be obvious.
And it’s for you the whole substance :
They can stay
on the ground floor of their ladder,
they will not take the risk of a big fall.
No, ho no you don’t
discredit the facts
but the weaks.
Let the sheeps graze.
The more they’ll be fat, the more you’ll enjoy.
You rise much higher than Icarus
because the sun belongs to you.
Gold will beat your feverish temple
while bridges will thrive in your pocket.

Falling lives

Sail, I sail
on a ship made with velvet and scents.
And it drifts, yes it drifts
swinging to the right then to the left.
It's cradling me.
But it always goes to the same way.
Straight ahead.
Its lightness is equal to its elusiveness and its beauty.
Again and always and again and always and again and always
It verges on this bended back woman,
without slowing, without slowing
then crosses a dense and infinite fog,
without slowing, without slowing.
And when I can feel the sand
scratching deeply my back,
it verges on this bended back woman.
Again and always, it goes to the same way.
Again and always, straight ahead.
Again and always, straight ahead.
Again and always and again and always and again and always (x4)

Playlist,
I’d like to thank you.
I wrote those lines to tell you
how much you mean to me.
There’s so much poetry
in the special times we share,
hidden from every eyes.
You pacify me, you soothe me.
So thank you, Playlist.
Dear playlist I’ve got to get away.
I need so much to make myself drunk
with your melancholy, with your sweetness.
I don’t need a tragedy, only sadness.
Dear playlist, dear playlist.
Playlist,
Even if you weren’t the same
I know deep in my heart that,
somehow, forever and ever and ever, whatever your look, You’ll be here for me.
So thank you, playlist.
Dear playlist I’ve got to get away.
I need so much to make myself drunk
with your melancholy, with your sweetness.
I don’t need a tragedy, only sadness.
Dear playlist, dear playlist.

There is no more splendid scenery to take in.
You’ll fly farther than beyond all that you might have known.
And when you'll embrace fear, you’ll know where you come from.
Now look at darkness ran through by all-coloured bright waves.
