Foul Scale 03:01
The sun opera begins Sacrificial altars in the sky. From which this dank rain emanates Concrete of this burned out world Mortar of this frightening factory I cross the world Made of glass and dust A bright world shining brilliantly Outshining the sun Always higher Let it burn as Icarus Lighting up this fucking world for the first time Storm is coming Soon this card castle will fly away In the breath of some vultures, hyenas, snakes. Everything’s rushing Powerless, watching the sea move back Taking a few steps back as if getting ready To send this wave going Razing this place to the ground Clean this place Where everything is to start all over again

Sent off into this fucking world You play life or death into this fucking world Dead men lying on their backs, twisted legs, sprawling arms All these men destroyed by their madness Raging to win, Reign of rage Fuck your minds and fuck your throughts You take my world, sublime space To swallow it and then throw it up It’s too beautiful for you Die of indigestion Die from your greed Overload, the air is sweating Overload, I do what must be done Climbing to these lost summits Climbing, I fight for this salute Who’s gonna fall into its indifference Fuck We humans Your hatred persists on your faces Plague mask, Myth of glory The bitter glory of our ancestors Don’t be afraid to die unknown. Our race never should have started A brainless race of the nihilist world.

Everything is fucking written You all walk, las, heavy steps You all walk, without even believing in your path/way This fucking life, ignorance swallowed for good She will fall into this gaping hole that you dug Without even filling it Get out of these paved roads With the skulls of the ignorants who built them They crack under your feet There will never carry you This soporific fall sounds/ rings like this cycle which surrounds you Stop praying authority. Free your mind Blind monk coated in gold. Singing mercy, one more cross showing at the void Look! Don’t you see? This stick that you reach out to get beaten Call labor, work. It’s on the stick of the devil that you are leaning on. You would kill for her Like you were taught to do.

Abandon yourself to eternity A phoenix wandering into this sand desert Oasis of knowledge, enlightening the path between two worlds For our blind eyes to open We are the stream which pierces through the impossible We are the light in the night We are the sight of eternity Ocean of light, share my dream of liberty

Spes Est 03:50
Marionette, humans puppet seeting its ropes Trading its own thoughts for those of degenerates Ignorant sympathizer with the stupidity of a people Hung by these strings that poison your lives Drain your energy, our life is contaminated Forget your imaginary chains That I still hear rattling everywhere Your servitude is not for sale Let’s walk as free men Among all these despots These free governments who cannot bear the freedom of a people Set aflame this earth that is ours. Let’s build together the grave of authority Let’s burn these mocking flags To celebrate the end of the night Our shadows dancing together for the first time With the light of all these liberated dreams Draw our world. Let’s color life.

Lost Sleeper 02:56
A shoot in the light Look inside, look around The shockwave, earthquake, break this place Everywhere, I see faces, distorted by fear This black mirror, running out of space It’s a storm of bursts and crashes The air pierced by screams and whistles Its echo resounds and resorbs in fear The puddle spreads, spreads to become an ocean Swallowing the dormant, the extincts. Candles out, feeding the darkness I cannot remain in this wrecktled world I thought the best thing was to pretend I was mute and deaf Crawling, swimming in this river Digging back to back with death. Remaining hidden. I’m not ready for a last dance. A last dive in the cosmic dimension Eternity, you cry by my side Eternity, raining around me A washed away rainbow, going back to the source Aspirated, leaving only the white sky of history I begin my path on the celestial vault I recur images, that appear to me in flashes Flying over the mountains Elevation of the present time/moment. I leave without saying a world.

Feeding sadness to people Nourishing the sadness of a people Source of all the human miseries Eyes like diamonds They bet with it and thus close our lives Don’t we try, don’t we leak through these blinders? I’m crashing for sure. Tarned wings. Grams are lying Beyond the anthill The future is now Simplicity is our wealth Letters, numbers, your worlds and mine Sing, cry, forming an orchestra A symphony raves, transformes Creating this other place, where everything seems so simple. On the bank of this river Sadly the water drains death with it Crystallized tears remain only in your sieves, Left to throw in your secret garden And now that your body burns A lack of something appears. This pain, this emptiness that must be filled You dig the earth, labour your field and filter the river Carried in this death dance with the current My dreams are lying But I am the River My dream are lying I am the river There is no reflection on the golden papers I hear the shadow approaching There is nothing left here but a garden of bones Your gold kisses the dead, the bodies Don’t you see these stones of blood.?

Young Bones 03:48
Strange walker in the night, awaken dream sailing on these hanging rivers. The black night, pierced by this crease, lights up our faces, carries our thoughts. Diving, the downfall shall come. I'm falling. My messiah, your stupor. Your paths carving your souls. Let's leave for this other place. Let's walk on these swarming clocks, always knocking, always ringing. Sickly sheath, time, isn't it... Moving sidewalk, blind way. Breaking your feelings. Sense those bursts of eternity. I'm one among all. We're the whole of nothing. May we remember why we fight, why we live. The birth of the Lion shall arrive, Theses blured landscapes shall brighten with his roars. As the crowns fall, as we all, wearing the dreamer's coat, we'll begin our long journey. As our footprints become roads, our tree shall be and be sure he'll be here to bear us. All these impossible pipe dreams come to light. One of those insane dreams would take care of us? One more blinding utopia Leading the wandering walker through the night.
