1. AUT CAESAR AUT NIHIL

I no more want to deal with the light
I no more want to use the slang of life
I'll no more say 'I am' without blushing
Breathing indecency due to the abuse of auxiliary verbs

Man was thinking of dawn... built on a pile of shit
Opened to this task, studying his fall and run to it
At the entrance to a new era, the one of self mercy
A second fall, more scornful than the first

Consciousness dwells the void after your mind corrodes your existence
Need to be a mesmerized believer or idiot to integrate reality
Reality fading at every doubt or anxiety wave

Then he accesses to the highest privilege
Of getting lost, prime sicko of nature
Corrupting the seeds, vice without instinct,
Destroying strength
The universe rots at his touch and time flies away

With havoc
With hunger
My jaw in your wound
No hatred, just fate
Just Passion
My foot on your neck
You'll praise me when I'll be upstairs

He could succeed and fall only upon the ruins of elements
His task fulfilled, he's ready to disappear
For how many centuries will we still hear his yell?
We still hear his yell...


2. CONFÉRENCE CATASTROPHE

I am the one,
I am in your head

Take a place
Ass on your seat
Look at me
Dip your lips
In some drinks

Time passes over us
As the waves of an ocean
Each of our words
Each of our acts
Gives birth to a lost cause

Some echoes, then silence
Your prayers won't be hear
The only answer you'll get
Some echoes, then silence


3. EXQUIRSIS

Exhort our last weakness
To re-baptize our soul
Mark our flesh
Of our last pains

Lost between boredom and celebration of our end
Twisting between void and illusion
Paradox of our soul, we stay linked to the last light
We forgot something before we left

Between dawn and twilight a usual day
From twilight to dawn a too short night
End with it by our suicide
Here is no more taste

Last child of a stillborn hope
Last parent of a grotesque crusade
Last ancestor before laughing again
Last ghost in front of the eternal

Solve the mystery of life
By our suicide
End with it
Here is no more taste

We'll give birth to children seeing own far was the carnage
They'll be our eyes on this so awaited apocalypse
They'll be our screams when they'll perish under the flame
They'll be our last insanity

Last child of a stillborn hope
Last parent of a grotesque crusade
Last ancestor before laughing again
Last ghost in front of the eternal


4. DEAD WHORE FRAGRANCE

We didn't do it with passion
Didn't do it by will or desire
We do it by scorn

The noblesse of art
Is betrayal
The art of living
Is lying

We open the door
We close the ways
We'll trample your chances

We stole your method
We whitened your inspirations
We murdered your king
Love us as we scorn you...

Integrity make no sense
Except for the ones early waking up
For the brave, for the ones who think with reason
For the respectful, for the ones with principles

Love us as we scorn you...


5. THE AVERAGE, THE ORDINARY

At the awakening
I'll give you your name
Your innocent blood
Stained by my print
I'll be the father
Inserting between your legs

At the zenith
I'll give you a soul
Your mind drowned in euphoria
Keeper of your dreams
Fed by my fears

I'll sell your body
Paid back by fragments of stars
To the one you love
You praise the one liberating you

At twilight, I'll give you an end
Little girl, did you have a nice time?

I'll sell you rests and give your dignity back
To the one you hate, that you betray
Your dealer of perdition


6. PHOENIX 999 ET DES POUSSIÈRES

What a failure to be born
First instant of a walk to the void
Physical pain announcing birth as a new
But thoughts are coming to ruin your hopes

It's our first hour crime
Memory possessing pain,
Wandering unconscious

To live is to suffer
I hate the cold, the slime,
the blood and here I am expulsed
Covered with stains, nightmare vision
Air is burning my freshly born lungs
The end of rest, the start of troubles
Supposed to thank your parents but never asked for it
To choose is a word that you should not say

I lost my sense
I lost my soul I lost
I lost the vision
I stand on a pile of dust

999 Uneven 999
Phoenix 999 on dust
Scars only heal if we close our eyes
We are the immortal ones
Among the lines and a cross, we'll raise from the ashes


7. FADED

Heat, root of all torment
We eat and shit here, leaving ashes, puking our souls
No one is waiting, no one ever explained to us

A world of void

Emptiness will be my only glory
Days passing, hoping has gone for ever
I dedicate those words to shadow, silent bride
Faded like the joy of the first days...


8. 218

9. TO DEAD ENDS, WITH HOLES IN YOUR POCKETS

He has never been so down
Carnivorous hands surround him
This wet stench of sweat
Crushing the atmosphere

He's downfallen from his secrets desires
He has lived the hell of guilt
He has reached the summit of foul nobility
Condemning his last cause

To small virtues, to instant pleasures
To ecstatic mixes, to blowing spirits

We finally see him ruined with booze
Vomit running inside his veins, only two dimes left
Only two bullets and a piece of tissue

To dead ends with holes in your pockets

We watch him leave, sick of everything
Carrying his last blaze
Shame is crushing him, doubt is invading him
We watch him leave, bastard and corrupted

He'll come back so delicate, turning his virtue to silence
He'll come back sneaking to steal the fire and leave with a smile

New king of disgrace, prince of doubts
We protect your crown of thorns, rising hands to the dark

He'll be the father of all pain, he'll rotten men's instincts
He'll make of us hungry wolves, eternal debt to grace


10. LAW SPREAD

At the very first lights
At the very moment you'll be
I'll wait for you
To carry you in my arms
From the delights I'll bring
I'll let the liquors flow between your lips
I'll wait for you at the first lights

When you'll be scared in the dark
Lux Domina, I'll open the gates, so you can see...

I'll give you the prayers that you need
Some cyanide drops, making of you someone
I'll be your god if there is one
Peter Perdida, lost and carrying light
I'll wait for you at the first lights

I'll spend my time
Making a queen of you
I'll leave no prints, I'll spend my time
Annihilating you
Leaving only smoke behind
I'll spread my time, hating you
To better eat you, child...

How can I look at you ? Your youth corrodes me
And will be blown like a candle in the wind

The day of your end, when you step over your last minutes
You will understand, that if you knew
You wouldn't have spend your time, wasting it
