Reverence
02:39
|

Wait and see the northern streets
I saw their glows miles from here
I heard the lord, played modern beats ‘cause trends are trends as all we know
I know my name, no shame at all
Creating all new melodies
Just to erase the old ones
Writing prayers for industries Somehow, I know there’s more time to spend But I’ll never be awake

Those Processions
05:43
|

You’re faking a sunbeam
Whenever you say it’s alright
The sun shines bright on my dead skin
I could save myself forever
Did not ask for your forgiveness
Need no task, just rest
I’ve been praying for years
I’d rather be my savior
You say it’s alright
You say it’s made of white
I could build a wall of silence
For I’m just feeding my ego
Our credo leads us to resilience
But we paint our room artificial white
Keep your faith in sinners
Leave your saints to strangers
I've been trying all day
To accept at least the eternal night
You say it’s alright
You say it’s made of white

Iconoclast
05:40
|
|||
Clear the air, boy
You paint a picture of
A man on the other side
Being a part
Of the structure is the lie
That you can’t hide
Stereo boy, monophonic
As he likes to pretend
Near the break point
He says he sees and feels
The same old season
When season ends
The free electron flees
For no more reason
Stereo boy, monophonic
As he likes to pretend
Treading the last path ‘cause we are
Becoming the past

Helene pt. I
05:17
|
|||
I could guess your voice through the white noise
I could spell your name and search for your lands
I could feel where the wind blows by singing the song of crows
In search for Helene again
And the year was tough and hard to explain
Cause our days were rough since we were chained
Illusion is clear and speaks through fear
I’m sorry for these trials
And I’m sorry that the silence never dies
And all we know is search through the lines
Because all we know is preaching our lies
All we know
I can’t explain the ways we’ve failed from within
Our love remains the same for we learned from it all
And all we saw
In the lands we know
Far from the lonely ones
As who we are now
I blamed myself for seeking you, belle Helene
And time will tell if I was wrong again
Now I’m the broken one you seek, belle Helene
So I’ll say your name again Helene

Helene pt. II
02:20
|
|||
Helene was far from my sight
Far from my light
And back to, whatever
And we talked like perfect strangers
Please hear my now
And hear me again
Will it come from the plain?
Will it end with the rain?
Then she said she heard my sound
Bound by desire
Desire over passion
But these sensations lose their meaning
When the feeling’s away
Far away
Now look at our famous glory
You called me the devil
But you miss the evil
Well we’ll never end this story
Please kill me now
And we’ll rise again
Did we come here to stay ?
Did we come here to pray ?
Such a tough game to play
Belle Helene, belle Helene

Purple Maggot

Somewhere in my bones
I’m a stain in saturation in the light
Somewhere in my bones
I will tell you by the end of the ride
Day after day
Seeking access to the same solution
So easy to stray
So hard to live in peace with our emotions
I’m Gathering my ghosts
Every purpose needs a loss and a fault
Burning all my thoughts
To see colors at the end of the fall
Mother in my mind
Since a word has been spoken from my mouth
Father being blind
For what this silence has broken for my sight

Emerald Green Dress
02:46
|
|||
She’s standing here
In her emerald green dress
Have you ever been blessed
By the nameless sea
She is there I know
I’m paranoid
She couldn’t see her
Reflection in your tears
Waves blending your fears
Yet they’re still so real
She is there I know
I’m paranoid
Don’t wait for the end
The eternal rest
Sunrise in the west
Reversing the church

Breaking Senses
01:30
|
|||
For many times you heard my confessions
My inner fences, my second guesses
While your light is strong my processions
Are fading slowly
There's no more places,
For singing graces,
breaking senses
I’ve been told that you will take my sorrows
To make it a strength
Then I’d find the meaning it draws
And it will all make sense
|

I know the pain, the wounds and their places
I can barely hide from all these faces
In the next few days I’ll dress in a new skin
No matter the value of the sin
I saw the fire in your hands that was blown
I saw the ages you’ve been through all alone
Time to take back the rage you slowly lost
No matter the name and the host
When the bells ring the end of youth
I paint a picture of the sham truth
I walked along the valley of changes
Tried to cross the fences

Veneration
04:34
|
|||
Youth, like a single breath
Within the fading memories
Youth blinding us to stay
For liberation
Death, I dreamed about my death
And left my eyes for centuries
Entered the void again, again and again
A step inside my second cell but I swear
I’m in veneration
Mais je ne suis pas vénéré comme l’un des leurs,
Mais je ne suis pas, oh non je ne suis plus
