Scared to death at this new dawn You have to endure new pains now Another of your weaknesses to hide Haunting your days, killing your pride Find the force to stand what's around you Face with strength everyday Life's aggressions There is no secret garden to go to Every hour of light is a million redemptions Feel with courage the humiliation Walk straight with an aim to get Open your conscience to your condition And think about happiness you never met And when darkness leaves its den Far from the stench of men Most of your fears disintegrate... But tomorrow is running, running faster than you...

Semen 06:54
At dusk shall start this sensual ceremony Two shapes melt in fast synchronized breaths United by flesh but still quite lonely When blows the old friendly smell of death Pact signed for a short flee to ecstasy Warm embraces and long voluptuous kisses United by flesh in all serenity Hypnotising eyes on their smileless faces For years nature has given birth to millions trees For years rivers has driven their content peacefully Tonight two shapes quietly stand on their knees Ready to a fusion in a wished flesh harmony No need yet to release the lifefull seeds It's time to lose control in absolute euphory Drink at the organic well with lust and greed And drown with thirst in celestial perversity Timeless erotic behaviour teasing The ageless craft of limbs excitation Two shapes melt in synchronized breaths Reaching together the gapes of their little death In warm and wetness lives their passion When every sigh has its own meaning At dawn shall stop this sensual ceremony That moments of grace raised to heavenly Sweat and Semen soiled, Sigh and Semen united...

Keep Dying 06:15
All these years of false smiles All these years of silence Seven years of held back tears... At last, beginning of this end. No more hand, no more arm, no more life. Seven years of false smiles Seven years of forced silence. So, comes this cruel happy moment. No more will, no more arm but still pain. I don't think they know what I did for us I don't think they want to know. I let life abandon Me, I let death enter Me. I can't stay, I have to leave You love me so much to see Me dying. Why am I still there on this bed? Why do I prevent My son from living? Whay can't I stop this suffering... You're wasting by illness, why to live? KEEP DYING, KEEP DYING You won't be happy anymore. No one's forcing you to live... Keep dying Life is useless... Keep dying I don't think they'll understand... One day.

Another I 06:33
Another I is dead Another I is born from somewhere I'm looking for this place where I'd got no face Who am I' Where was I? I woke up in the middle of this land I couldn't feel my hands Behind me, Future disppeared in the fog I casted a glance over this place. It was desolate, gloomy and odourless Through fields, I walked to find a shelter I was half way up of an hil when I looms a river Who am I' Who was I? I'm looking for a place where I recognize myself Another I is dead, Another I is born from somewhere I was looking for this place where I'd got this face Who was he? Was he dead? Suddenly I heard a voice Coming from nowhere Who said "Come, cross the river, you will know who you are" So I crossed, I was fascinated

Even the dead are more alive than me I'm no human being. I'm glowing with Lifesickness Becoming a parody of myself I'm turning into Meaningless Slowly, I'm laughing at myself Even your smiles and kisses can't help me Past killed me, Future will raise me from the dead But I don't have present anymore. Why am I like that? Why these sorrows, these tears?

Reed 07:03
These days, I tried, I tried, I tried But life kept me next to her, why? Like a reed, I fold but don't break Since these moments, nothing distresses me. Behind my misanthropic and insensitive wall, My love is a so beautiful corpse. Rain and wind remind me your death But like a reed, I fold but don't break The river that feeds me is only silence and scorn That's why I'm so black... Since these moments nothing distresses me But like a reed, I fold but don't break So nobody cares of... My doubts... My cries... My fears... My pain... My dreams... Me Yet I realize that, like an oak, I'm tough.

Meaningless 04:24
Infinity lying in its own ethereal beauty Universes defying the passage of time Suns that set with millions years of history Planets and astral dust at the top of their fame Earths welcoming all lowest forms of life Oceans eternally feeding their children with tide Skies contemplating with serenity the crawling down Fire remains the fear of ones to keep its crown Trees teaching the meaning of patience and wisdom Lakes sharing its goodness with the lucky ones Mountains holding the secrets of the beginning Diseases executing the will of nature's kingdom Abysses revealing the depths of their ages Rain falling to wash the soils away Clouds floating in their celestial cages Sparks at the edge of an alternative way.

I can feel what you feel and hear all these lies I don't want to live your sufferings... outside Pain, fear and despair don't exist here... inside Your womb, the best place where to grow and die... Why would you love me, why would you cherish me? Why would you give birth to me, to this freak? Your womb as a cage, freedom will be death. I just want to live inside you... forever. In my dreams, you life, that's why I want to give birth to you. You're the jewel of my life. The jewel won't shine anymore, I'm death I don't want to see your smiles and feel your kisses. I just want to die. In my dreams, you're life, that's why I want to give birth to you In my dreams, you're hope, that's why I want to give birth to you. You're the jewel of my life.

Arcanes 07:48
Que devrais-je attendre, comprendre ou entendre? Dévoilez-moi les mystères de ce monde! Impératrices de mornes paysages, Mère de toute vie, découvrez vos visages! Du voile ténébreux qui enfreint à vos sens Révélez vos desseins, et nourrissez mes absences! Ouvrez mon esprit au savoir absolu, Pansez ma plaie d'innocence et salissez-moi Couvrez mes douleurs et dégagez ma vue Faites de l'ignorance l'ennemie de ma foi! Laissez entrevoir à mes yeux innocents La lumière pure de votre virginité Elle brûle en vos coeurs, elle coule en votre sang Elle m'attire, mais se meurt dans l'obscurité... Dissipez le brouillard qui règne en mon âme Eclaircissez le chemin de ma quintessence Libérez-moi, détruisez ce corps infâme Assassinez ma vie et donnez-lui un sens! Le crépuscule trace par-delà les cieux Les sources vermeilles d'une nuit nouvelle Le silence m'emportant, je rejoins les dieux... ...Eux, qui ont su entendre mon appel... Explore les arcanes de l'éternel savoir Pour que des ténèbres surgisse le pouvoir...
