1. SEPULCRUM

To Heaven and the Gods I turn towards

To adress this prayer
To offer this prayer

Oh you Gravestone !
Oh you, as cold as this corpse you keep
Oh you, engraved stone
You, which preserve my son, fallen in his youth
Oh you, unfinished stone !
You, which shows to all the epitaph
Of my missing flesh
Answer nom my question
Who prevents me to breathe now ?
Who took him it away ?

And you, my son,
Who rests in this wooden and dirt prison
And you my child whom I'll never see
Again in this continuum
Remember our beliefs, remember our wandering

And in your understanding,
Forgive this exhumation
My hands digging in this earth
To expiate all these wounds which took you away ?
I finally reach the oak I confide you with
Thank you for keeping him, but from now on
I must take him back
Here you are finally,
As cold as your protecting stone
Here you are, finally,
In your mighty carried away youth
I deny the epitaph and take back my missing flesh
Only you can hep me, who else could I question ?
Only you can hep me, who else could I ask ?

As an opalescent white angel
You're deprived of your right to live
Before You Gods, I present
The remains of my murdered child
May you forgive me ?
To not entrust him to you
May you guide me ?
In this unfinished task
May you, my son
Forgive this gesture
May you, my son
In this quest, help me

To Heaven and the Gods
I turn towards
To adress this prayer
To offer this prayer


2. MORITURI TE SALUTANT

I'm begging you, oh God of Tolerance
To remove the soul from my flesh
I'm begging you, oh God of Courage
To give me the strength to do it
I'm begging you, oh God of War
To grant me the power I need
I'm begging you, oh Goddess of Revenge
Become my guide, my muse, my arm

It's for you, my son, that I've prepared this blade
It's for your soul that I'm ripping your sweet face off
It sparkles while it cleaves the air in a whistle
Stained in blood, it screams breathlessly

I know they won't take you
In their Eden, my son
I know that if I don't succeed
In purgatory you'll wander
No more supplication to the Gods
Forever and ever, they'll abandon you
Forever and ever, you'll be forsaken
It's for your soul that I'm ripping your sweet face off
It sparkles while it cleaves the air in a whistle
Stained in blood, it screams breathlessly

I take a third of you
And leave the rest here !
I keep the best of you
Meet me there
In this unfinished chapel
Where the secret rites
Could transcend me
Could raise us
So that your forsaken body
Might find your head !

Come ! Follow me ! Meet me there !


3. DOMINUS VOBISCUM

Here we are, in the lair of degeneration
Here where the sacred rite may begin
I put on the altar your tormented encephalon
I call upon the Gods of Knowledge
May they give me back your memory
Inside this potion
May they awake your remembrance
Inside my being
I'm so hurt, I'm so cold
And in a final breath

[Chorus]
Dominus... Vobiscum (x2)

I swallow your flesh and your soul, penetrate me
I see your sweet face, spread on the ground, empty
I feel your memory penetrate me,
Your life spreading
Show me who could have done this to you
Rise ! Point at them with an avenging finger
Step aside, show me the way

[Chorus]

Nothing can penetrate us anymore
Nothing can tear us apart anymore
I see myself through you
With your beloved child eyes
Brace yourself, shout to me
Show me, I see them

[Chorus]

In the name of my Gods, I know these faces
Murderers ! Your murderers my son !
I feel the stabs, I bleed, I scream
But nothing can stop'em
Until the end, they want to eviscerate you
Not only take your life

May they give me back your memory
Inside this potion
May they awake your remembrance
Inside my being
And in a final breath, I expiate !
You die ! I die !


4. UNA SALUS VICTIS

A smell ? What is that smell ?
A void ? What is that void ?
Is it you ? Is this you my son ?
A dream ? An unfinished reality ?
A head ? To stop my heart ?
Is it me ? Did I do this ?
Is it you ? Is this you my son ?
A dream ? An unfinished reality ?
A head ? To stop my heart ?
Is it me ? Did I do this ?

I hear, I see, I remember, I smell !
The air is so putrid, my senses are tired
They can't have done this to you
Find our blade to remove their soul

Here is their sanctuary, the temple of their misdeed
The place where they put you out of pain after several tortures
It's your school my son, the brotherhood of the slaughter
Shall I never quiver, may your revenge be done !

So that you never become this !
I slay your putrefied soul with my blade
To finally find his soul
To finally find his soul
Hissings, screams, tears
Nothing can survive beyond me

Eviscerate, decapitate, slice, dismember,
Again and again until total silence
So that you never become this !
To purify your sins by blood
I slay your putrefied soul with my blade
To finally find his soul

Corpses muddle up in an ocean of blood
A sea of revenge to the quietness of chasm
For you my son, you don't feel at peace, wait for me !
I'm coming home on the path of forgiveness
Flawed revenge perfumed with my soul
I'm emptied of my humanity


5. MORS ULTIMA RATIO

In front of the door I am
All I have to do is go in
Is turning the key in the lock
To consommate my work

I go down the stairs of Hell
And I leave behind
The trail of their stamped
On blood
By my stained sandals
In front of your door I am
What am I doing ?

No ! I have to go in
You're there ! In this bed
I've built you !
No ! I must bow !
My son ! In front of your brother this morning you cried
No ! I can't hesitate !
You ! In the big masquerade of your own tears !
No ! You've done it !
Your own brother ! You've murdered him !

Father, you must restrain your revenge
- You're the one who killed my child !
Father, I'm also your son !
- In the name of your brother I disown you !
Father, you must know the truth !
- I know it just too well !
Father, no one else knows but your other...
- Your head I take to salvage your elder !
Mors Ultima Ratio ! Die !

Father....... ! (x3)


6. VIXIT

Father, no one else knows but your other...
Father, no one knows except the others !

Father............................ !
Father............................ !
Father............................ !
Let me explain you the why

Father............................ !
Father............................ !
Father............................ !
Listen to me finally while I die !

You didn't want to listen
You separate me from my life
In your prayers, I still hear you
Behind the bars where you fall asleep
There nothing to comfort you
Still soon you'll join us

Beyond life, you keep a son
I'm him and I need to talk to you
The five years between my brother and I
Never impeded our beautiful friendship
Sure of loving him I am
Forever and ever !

Father............................ !
Let me explain you the why

Father............................ !
Father............................ !
Father............................ !
Listen to me finally while I die !

He'd always protect me
From everything, from you, from others,
He was my guide, he was my choice, he was my other

Father...


7. VAE VICTIS

Do you remember why you didn't want
To send me to school last September ?
All these disappearances without explanation
All those bodies found mutilated, cut up
My friends missing, their remains uncovered
And my companion, forever lost without a trace

A brotherhood we built
Then we searched,
For months and months,
But we never found anything
Other than buried remains,
Other than dismembered bodies

From despair to hope,
From burials to illusions
We were sparred nothing,
Everything was atrocity
Who might have done this ?
And finally an idea !

We had to set him up
In our school bring him,
A prey we would give him
To finally see the beast within
We were all armed
And for a long time we waited

And finally I saw him, we all saw him
Alone I was before my suffering
I screamed, I yelled, it couldn't be
But nothing had to be done, there he was
Oh father, nothing can fix
What we've done this day
There was nothing I could do
He was my brother !
There he was, my brother !


8. VADE IN PACE

I'm certain I love him
Forever and ever
I'm certain I love you
Forever and ever
And yet I killed him
And yet you killed me

He arrived with his blade
And we took hold of him
To finally stop the disappearances
To finally grant him absolution
Every single one of us stroke once
And then stroke again, and again
We had to finish him

I'm certain I love him
Forever and ever
I'm certain I love you
Forever and ever
And yet I killed him
And yet you killed me
And till this day I don't know
How you find out
But I don't blame, father
No one knew and how to explain to you ?
You beheaded me
And in his grave you brought my head
So he'll start again
Nothing and no one can stop him

Join me as soon as you can
And together again, we'll kill him

I'm certain I love him
Forever and ever
I'm certain I love you
Forever and ever
And yet I killed him
And yet you killed me

Join me as soon as you can
And together again, we'll kill him !


9. VOLENS NOLENS

No ! I refuse to follow you in this hallucination
No ! I refuse to lose reason
I lost my sons I committed atrocities
In the name of what ? I lost my faith !
I lost my way ! It is you that I did lose !
And I absolved all the others !

Oh you my lawyer, tell them it was not I !
Tell them I was only pain !
Tell them I could not master my fear !
Constantly repeat them !
Oh you the specialist, tell me it was not I !
Help me getting rid of this pain !
Help me not to give in to this fear !
Get me out of this torpor !

I can only have lost reason
There can be no other explanations
Under the influence of this decoction
Or else, how could have I commit such abuses ?
A school wholly decimated
A son beheaded another dismembered
Heads from pulled to replaced
And my soul torn apart
On the altar of mediocrity !

Oh you my lawyer, tell them it was not I !
Tell them I was only pain !
Tell them I could not master my fear !
Constantly repeat them !
Oh you the specialist, tell me it was not I !
Help me getting rid of this pain !
Help me not to give in to this fear !
Get me out of this torpor !

What can I tell my wife ?
I took her the fruit of her loins
How can I explain her ?
That I am an executioner father
What can I tell my other half ?
Except that she remains my love !
Who can explain to her
That there was nothing left of me,
When I was back there ?


10. GLADIUS LEGUS CUSTOS

Stand up ! The court !

[Prosecutor:]
Sir, or can we still name you like that ?
Do you still deserve to be qualified a human being
Your very presence here demonstrates that you can be judged !

[Witness 1:]
You killed my children !
The twin brothers !
Ripped up with a knife !
They had no face anymore !
Only their hands to protect them !
Without mercy we have to judge you !

[Witness 2:]
How can you still look at your face in a mirror ?
All these lives that you took with no remorse whatsoever !
Such an insult to see you alive today in this dock !

[President:]
Sir, the specialists have confirmed it !
From no mental alteration you are suffering !
Not yesterday nor today nor tomorrow nor ever !
This court will not let you the opportunity anymore !

[Father:]
How to ask you forgiveness
If you wil not leave me any chance
I ask for... death !
I require... a rope !
Please, let me... die !
From these I am... justice !

[President:]
Silence or I'll have the courtroom evacuated !

[Audience:]
Gladius Legis Custos !

[President:]
Officers ! Take the prisoner and evacuate the courtroom !


11. MEMENTO MORI

As if there was nothing left of you, me, just a bottomless universe
And no trails of our lives seem to have ever existed
Only the dead that we caused will remain in the heart of the survivors
With no possibility to keep the tiniest memory of our past
Why then stay on this earth at the bottom of this cell ?
Why then wait for the judgement that we already know too much ?

It seems everlasting to walk through
This corridor where all lights have been banned
Passage where their voices are chasing me endlessly
Infernal gut where only death awaits me
Gangway that I will from my soul haunt
Without ever being able to move away for eternity !

As if the painful end of your mother never took place
Can you then give me a hint, and my certainty confirm,
Is it your brother increased from your skull who slayed him ?
Am I the one at the root of this murder with no murderer ?
Have I been once again wrong about my health ?
Did I have back then all my mental capabilities ?

Oh my son
This all so seems so twisted ?
Can you forgive me at last ?
Oh my son
Is it too late or can I still find you ?
Oh my son
Death seems so sweet
When I can finally entwine you

There will be no trails left
When I pass away !
But don't fool yourself
I have no hesitation anymore !
In death we will find him
With you we will fight him

I'm coming !


12. LIBERA NOS A MALOS

Nothing, nothing is left of him
How could he fly off
Out of this cage ?
And as the sole trail,
A rope hanged up from the ceiling

At last I find you, in the darkness of our runed lives
Let us go and trace the remains of your brother !
Let us beseech the Gods, so we fulfil our duty
Let us pray the Gods, so they can hear us !

I'm begging you, oh God of Tolerance
To remove the soul from my flesh
I'm begging you, oh God of Courage
To give me the strength to do it
I'm begging you, oh God of War
To grant me the power I need
I'm begging you, oh Goddess of Revenge
Become my guide, my muse, my arm

Never have we betrayed, never have we weakened,
Always following you through the depths of darkness
Never have we given in, never have we bent,
Always we obeyed you, with obscurantism !

A brotherhood we built
Then we searched,
For months and months,
But we never found anything !

So he'll start again
Nothing and no one can stop him
Join me as soon as you can
And together again, we'll kill him

Look, deep in this limb,
Isn't this the spectre we've searched for ?
We finally found him
And, so that an ending is written in the darkness

Let the fight begin !
