1. ENTER THE BATHYSPHERE...

(William ?
Wake up Will
Wake up !
You're alone now)


2. ... AND EMBRACE THE ABYSS

There is a place right in the deep sea
Where time doesn't count anymore
There are some waving souls
They seem to be real
Purity seems to be their
Essence of life

This procession has come to an end
Look at yourself, so selfish

Enter this world where the blue rises and shines
Forget about your closed mind

Enter this world and breathe the water
You will never so comfortable

My procession ?

Should I be here alive ?
It's like I've been drowned
Stay
That's what they said
It is my chance


3. ECHOES OF SILENCE

My attention fixed on a black paradise
Crystallizing fears of the end
Fears of the unknown
Echoes of silence

If I screamed at the top of the universe
I would have nothing back in return
Except for dark echoes of silence
I have a shrewd idea that I am alone
All alone
I failed ... failed in this life

Crystallizing fears of the end
Fears of the unknown
Echoes of silence

Trapped inside the ocean
It seems to reveal my differences
Black and white tribes
Different kind of fate
That "Gaïa" confides in me

It's telling me it's my own story
A tale of what it saw
We're all to blame
It was whispering
During the last decade

I heard the earth whispering to me
And it said there is an endless
Profusion of life down here
But I can't see
It said we're here to stay
Revealed we're gonna pay
For all these darkest days
For all that we have said,
Sorry

Bound by the same future
It's our misfortune
We're lost in here
Blinded by our power

Fortunately so peaceful
I become aware of what lays
Beneath the ocean
It's a second life
Nothing here seems real
And I'm breatheless, ignorant
I got to get my redemption
And forget all the lies


4. THOUSANDS CARYBDEA

Deeper and deeper, I sink in the water
Wondering if I'm wasting my time
The point of no return is passed
And I cannot expect any way back
This deep-sea diving has to end

Finish
Whatever it costs to me
It has to be
It's a terrible but still beautiful choice
To descend in this darkness
A heaven in blue

I am not aware of time any longer
My psychological state is starting to decline
But I wanna know if it was only a dream

Earth to earth
Dust to dust
It's getting worse
As I keep falling down
I must admit it
I lost my faith in the two universes
But then, a form of life suddenly appeared

I may have made a mistake
Forcing myself to be here
My conscience is not so clear
I brought my madness in here

The abyss; unexplored territory by mankind
I was waiting for the sentence

The agonizing pain that I felt
Left without leaving a single trace

Earth to earth
Dust to dust
It's getting worse
As I keep falling down
I must admit it
I lost my faith in the two universes
But then, a form of life suddenly appeared


5. HOMOCENE

This is the way the world ends
Not with a bang
This is the way the world ends
Not with a "Big Bang" but a whimper
Hollow men condemned the whole of humanity

I couldn't believe it
But now I can see the reality of devastation
Devastation of a world which coexists with us
Ocean to ocean it's the same outcome
It's such a shame, it's such a waste

Our blindness will kill us all

I watch us as some murderers
Underwater, I feel like I'm a stranger

Don't know if I am welcome in this place

I become aware of my fate
I'm here, I'm here to stay

(Devastation of a world which coexists with us
It's such a shame, it's such a waste
Our blindness will kill us all)


6. TEN MILES UNDERWATER

Still don't you get
The importance of this mess around
A mess that you deserve

As we're diving
Why be there, so loud ?
As we're diving
Stay away from all the lands

Stay away from all the lands
Out of control your remain the same
Disrespected for all

(Here we are flying to a new world
A place like we've never known
Here you are flying
with a few friends of mine
Some creatures like you)

Disagree
You destroy your own society
Take away all your preys
And your sick lifestyles
You're out of bounds
Leaving these towns
Reborn in this place
You will feel the grace

Peaceful darkness peaceful place

There's a place in a colossal trench
Where we can drown despair and sadness
Shrouded by waves
Which makes us fly to the depths

Still don't you get
The importance of this mess around
A mess that you deserve

Come on and taste redemption
Come on and take heed of myself
And all the creatures
Which live here at ten miles underwater

Disagree
You destroy your own society
Take away all your preys
And your sick lifestyles
You're out of bounds
Leaving these towns
Reborn in this place
You will feel the grace

Here is your new home
You walk at the front of the giant line
Of the giant line !


7. L'IVRESSE DES PROFONDEURS

(instrumental)


8. ARCHITEUTHIS DUX

Starting the trip
Waiting for it

Time has come, I can't wait to face
The monster, it's part of my fate,
It's my home

Nom more sadness, only kindness lies in the ocean
I found the beast and raise my fist 'cause I will not fail

Seeking for life through the waves

I drift through the liquid world
Making my own luck, I resign from your world
Sealed in my Bathyscaph I agree
Maybe there's no safety when you come from the land
But I want to ignore that huge place of terror
Reach my incarnated fears

Architeuthis, Architeuthis
Architeuthis Dux is mine
Beholding its eyes

I stood still
Seeing ... Reflections of a lost world

I feel the experience life sized
And the creature reveal it's real
So I have kept my child side
Yes I have kept my child side


9. TALES OF ATLANTIS

In this antic time, you couldn't cross the world
Without meeting a powerful nation
Ten kingdoms united by one man
He knew the price to pay for being king

An island ruled by the voice of Atlas
Son of a god, the god Poseidon
Him and his brothers were spreading terror
From both sides of the coast
Atlante's soldiers were proud
Of the society they formed

One nation could
One nation went against this devastation
The Athenians went against this devastation

Only one nation could go against this massacre
Only one nation should

So the war began
A war of vanity
As well for the liberty of every country
Next to Atlantis

It created an aversion for the god
They killed them all
They punished every soldier

Crushed by the most powerful wave
That you could ever picture
Humanity had to give up,
Give up the fight
Facing the strong power of nature
It remains a water hole
It began a new area

As the Atlas mountains were disappearing
Under the influence of god's anger
They all died

(There is a place right in the deep sea
Where time doesn't count anymore
Should I be here alive ?
Now, it's like I've been drowned
Enter this world and breathe the water
You will never so comfortable)


10. STOMIAS BOA

50° S 100° W
A remote point in the ocean
An amazing sound emerged from there

A well-being grows through my veins and chest
Adrift in this home, out of despair
Intoxicated by freedom, I think
I think I know what's happening to me
I'm gonna stay 'cause I cannot, cannot resist
To nitrogene narcosis

Collapse has just begun
I cannot hear it
Pressure's too loud
Pressure's too loud

I finally meet the scaly dragonfish
The symbol of my fall as much as my resurrection
It sounds like liberty
Full ahead through this great mystical space
I can tell that my travels are self-contemplation
I reached my goal
It shows the way
It shows the way

Of self-denial and blissful feeling

11. BEHOLD THE KRAKEN

Let's behold the kraken now
Go deep and find the legend

I heard so many
So many stories about the beast
Now I want
To know what it costs
To those who dare defy the myth

It's my only chance to reveal the facts
There is elegance
And some cruel traps in this dark blue world
I'm not a fool

As we're travelling to a hidden shelter
I can barely see the shipwrecks of the past

Scary voices are coming from the depth
It seems like a tortured screams from the sailor
Devoured by some brutal creature
Of an olden time

So many ships were sunk, whatever their size
Nothing could stop the giant bloodbath

This unreal demon must still have it in mind
Be prepared to meet the kraken
It's just a matter
Matter of time
All the grace we knew, soon declined

We're lost
We were swallowed up by a gigantic vortex
Coming from the bowels of the earth

When I regained consciousness
I was the witness of the most epic fight
Between the two colossal lords of sea
The kraken against the "Dux"

A dualistic fight which transcends stories
That violence terrorized me
It unleashed hell

I said my farewells
When I was thrown out
Of there
Leaving two species to their symbolic fight
A constant duel between good and evil.

And I'm here to stay)
