The Fall 04:17
We were united for me It was a kind of lie One single star that might be It blew up from the inside It should not have turned like that You should not have been so quiet Go as the wind blows Go as your pride glows We found passion and fall We are passion and fall We act like strangers for me As time goes by It should not have turned like that You should not have been so quiet Go as the wind blows Go as your pride glows We found passion and fall We are passion and fall

Nonsense 04:02
Push, move forward, Try to erase traps around you Stirred by a senseless charm That makes you feel a need to breathe Suffer, it’s the way it begins, But is it the way it will end Cry, howl and cry as you don’t know yet Why you’ve been here The creature’s reached a more perfect form When it thinks but what we think is unbearable Nonsense of life Nonsense of the livings Who create aims in life With unforgiving endings We all want to go higher, Blindfolded will be better We all want to see further, Blindfolded will be better Speak, behave and think Be sure before you open your mouth Work, don’t stop before long, Time is money don’t forget it Suffer, again and again, This is the only way to reach happiness Sleep, sleep awake, Do not think of what’s coming next

A place where all the people would have a chance to be another kind of man Subservience, obedience, our disease Rebellion, conviction are the key Tonight, we shall break the walls that compress us Alienate us, that confine us, that delude us We waited, we waited we waited too long Now we have to, we have to, to act for our fate We waited, we waited we waited too long Now it’s time to, it’s time to, save our lives our rights the light A place where everyone would choose to share I still hope it could be real Wake up tonight, stand upright, Turn on the light, for which you fight Subservience, obedience, our disease Rebellion, conviction are the key Tonight, we shall break the walls that compress us Alienate us, that confine us, that delude us We waited, we waited we waited too long Now we have to, we have to, to act for our fate We waited, we waited we waited too long Now it’s time to, it’s time to, save our lives our rights the light

85 05:17
Shut the door, try to breath, Keep control, walk straight Heart beats, don't panic, Try not to think, walk straight They are 85, you are 85 We are exhausted, we are tired When people's gaze assails him It makes him feel like to run and look ahead Nevermind the time it takes He only wants to run and look ahead They are 85, you are 85 We are exhausted, we are tired Clammy hands, feel annoyed, Too much noise, hold on So many men, too much voices, Too much trouble, hold on When people's gaze assails him It makes him feel like to run and look ahead Nevermind the time it takes He only wants to run and look ahead

Enfance 04:57
Rain is falling down as our bodies have grown Maybe we should just apologize But we tried so hard not to be a child We'd rather like to fit in your eyes But actually I try not to stay a child Minds are still the same forgotten in the game Deny yourself joy for your rise little boy I thought we'd never grow up but world has us in it's ropes Maybe we should just apologize But we tried so hard not to be a child We'd rather like to fit in your eyes But actually I try not to stay a child I've come to see that, we're just part of ourselves, Part of ourselves now, as long as we forget not To surrender, it won't be over no it won't I thought we'd never grow up but world has us in it's ropes

That’s not a question of being afraid of something or someone How do you say you’re not considering you’re part of a whole On the way as if by magic, on the way of understanding There’s no way no for some logic, on the way of understanding We’re gonna take all this time for leaving We wanna see what’s around among the living Put your coat on your shoulders ‘cause it’s freezing But there we shall renew the old air we’re breathing A little bitter drop slipped into the brew we drank for long When we’re aware of all, facing backwards we won’t do it wrong On the way as if by magic, on the way of understanding There’s no way no for some logic, in the way of understanding Understanding the meaning of all that Understanding when some play a part We’re gonna take all this time for leaving We wanna see what’s around among the living

Les Appelés 03:27
Depuis l'aube des temps Déchirures et tremblements A quoi bon se faire souffrir Pour un idéal qui sans cesse Nous consume et nous déchire A quoi bon anéantir L'absolu n'est sage Que pour ceux qui osent voir ce qu'il divise A chacun son apogée Pour l'écrasante majesté A quoi bon se faire souffrir Pour un idéal qui sans cesse Nous consume et nous déchire A quoi bon anéantir L'absolu n'est sage Que pour ceux qui osent voir ce qu'il divise S'achèvera-t-elle jamais La lutte des appelés

Diseased 04:07
The light is gleaming beyond a broken window People walk together but fear their fellow The poor are gathered outside the old station’s doors The stranger is passing by but sees nothing at all We are living in a real diseased town Walls are falling down The young drink and laugh but they still close their eyes A smell of disquiet fills the hearts and minds The madman’s yelling at someone only he sees A gentle wind blows and whispers a will We are living in a real diseased town Walls are falling down

Rosalia 04:13
Ci-gît beauté ensommeillée, Cet éternel enfant muet Des Capucins dernier joyaux, L'ultime passerelle vers le très haut. Son lit de verre tel un miroir, Irradie ce monde illusoire De la lumière des angelots, Où nous te rejoindrons bientôt...

Old Age 04:23
Hey you - Is it me, are you sleeping Your eyes - What eyes, I see, are empty Come back to old memories when time made us laugh You turn around and you turn again thinking of what’s waiting out there Hear me, shake me, make me understand why fate is so natural Hold me, touch me, make me understand why fate is so natural Say goodbye old age, I feel I’m already gone, I don’t care anymore Talking for nothing, watching for nothing Laughing for nothing, faking for nothing I turn around and a turn again wondering what I could do for you But you keep shouting and you cry again “leave me I’m done it is true” Hear me, shake me, make me understand why fate is so natural Hold me, touch me, make me understand why fate is so natural Hear me, shake me, make me understand why fate is so natural Say goodbye old age, I feel I’m already gone, I don’t care anymore I’m so afraid...
12.
Our Medicine 03:37
Our medicine has many faces Many colors, several shapes Her medicine makes her fly She feels she knows all that’s around Her medicine makes her cry She feels the weight of its desire His medicine keeps him alive A price to pay for him to survive Her medicine makes her fly She feels she knows all that’s around Her medicine makes her cry She feels the weight of its desire Many reasons, many lies Make our medicine so divine A day, an impression of sublime But nature’s strength tears us apart She feels the chains gripping her mind Being slave of her own kind
13.
Wild 04:44
I am the dew on a wild grass I am the picture of a distant lake I am the wind that blows strongly on a face I am a wanderer in the Amazonian forest Into a deep torpor Stuck in a state you are so far But present everywhere Stroking the slightest grain of sand To live in a dream world A strange meaning of life I am the rocks on which you carve I am a whisper in the quiet cave I am a stick in an old man’s hand playing drums I am the sound that you hear when it’s silent Into a deep torpor Stuck in a state you are so far But present everywhere You’re the dust flying here and there To live in a dream world A strange meaning of life

Bittersweet 13:54
You seem fawning from the outside in a very wry way So loving, so tender, but so bitter anyway So understanding though critical, radical Embodied serenity with hysterical abilities Someday, somehow, you had intuition, Someday, somehow You stayed, you spied, to dump your frustration You stayed, you tried Far-sighted most of the time but childish in many ways So confident at first sight as you put yourself down You seem so happy though feeling sad, going mad Embodied lightness with physical boundaries The color of your gleaming eye Flavor of an inner lie Someday, somehow, you had intuition, Someday, somehow You stayed, you spied, to dump your frustration You stayed, you tried
