1. NECROPHAGES

A muffled noise beyond the hills
Predicts an ill omen
This is the dead army that arrives
The Necrophages Army
Not yet in sight, it's already here
The vague clash of arms promises a violent death

The smell of decay grows up
It's unbearable and full of meaning
The Necrophages let out screams
That make someone goes out his mind
Dead army, who woke you up
Who guided you to where you were banished
Devastation, mutilated corpses
Annihilation, no prisoners, just flesh to consume

Wild cries between cries of pain
This is a frightening picture bathed in blood and filled with fear
The Necrophages are full up
The army goes it's way
Always further forwards the living
Until the next fest

Morte armée, qui t'a réveillée
Qui t'a conduit là d'où tu étais bannie
Dévastation et corps mutilés
Anéantissement de l'humanité

Des cris de frénésie entre des cris de douleurs
Un tableau effrayant, ensanglanté, rempli de peur
Les Nécrophages sont repus
L'armée passe son chemin
Toujours plus loin vers les vivants
Jusqu'au prochain festin


2. VICES AND VERSES

Like an offering to God
Your parents took you to the monastry
Your sandals at your foot and your rosary at your wrist
Your alb betrays the silence of stones
And when the time to pray resounds
Disturbing thoughts overcome your self

Vices and verses, animal instinct and divine breath
Entrails and the One, human being's mysterious destiny

The night invades your cell
So empty and chilly
But beyond this austere appearance
Your blood warms up
Foor-off remembrance and hidden words
Make your senses warm up
Curves and shapes appear to you
When you close your eyes

Dive into the verdant valley
Where dewy stands out
Like an oak of vigorous sap
You take roots at the spring
And your branches in the wind
Stroke the firm hills
And the rough leaf
Invade the teasing grass


3. MY BROTHER

In our hearts beats some strength
And our veins like a long lane
Lead the universal energy
It's up to us to absorb it
Coming from the same flesh
And fed at the same breast
You are my brother in all your being

My brother in life
So far from me in death
Born from a same woman
We will join different worlds

When a tears runs down your cheek
With lack of understanding my body thrills
And when you give up
With more strength I embrace the world
Like an archer who has lost his target
You walk round and round, and shoot in the void

My brother in life, Truth is in death
Are you sure of leading the right fight
You who wear yourself and shuffle along?
Prisoner of attachment, freedom is in the breath


4. WORDS OF ANOTHER TIME

You seek the nocturnal prophecies
Engraved in the ancestral stone
They'll rise again under the fullmoon
And near is the decisive night

And the crypt of oblivion, the armour awaits you
To the ultimate mastery, it shall lead you
From the cliff top, you are the observer
Powerfull Gallic, proud and good stepper

Stars turn black and pale
Dark light tears up the heavens
Past the threshold of your jail
And all your being, blackened

New holder of the ultimate fantasy
Older and free from your obscure feeling
Your poems, filthy offerings
Water humanity with your misery

The hearts that with a fear you grieved
Have no more blood to give
The hearts that with a leaf you bled
Broke like glass in a silver bed


5. A NOS DEFUNTS...

Nos liens, jadis, réels et visibles
Aujourd'hui enfin se manifestent
Et les chemins que tu parcourais, sensible
Ont rencontrés ton destin, invisible

La toile tissée de nos vie, risibles
Aujourd'hui devient, comme tout le reste
L'écrin qui habiterait, sans cible
Les archers du festin, indivisibles

Parcourir, sans laisse
Les méandres de notre demeure invaincue
Ressentir, sans cesse
La voie tracée des cendres d'un inconnu
Se nourrir, innocent
Du buffet des grands pour le temps ne mue
De délecter, conscient
Des vérités magnifiants ce qui en toi s'est tu

A nos défunts...
De nos sangs sur un parchemin
A nos défunts...
Apposons le sceau des morts


6. ALESIA

Unifié dans la gloire, vaillamment le gaulois se bat
Mais grand est l'Empire et les tortues profitent
Les paiens perdent la mémoire alors avance César
Et quand vient la réplique, verse un jet aux fixes

Les romains vous ont liés pieds et poings
D'un anneaux de bois, ont célébrés leurs lois
Et quand l'imprenable se révèle un tombeau
D'Alésia ne reste plus un mot

D'Alésia ne reste plus un mot
Dans le coeur des gaulois
Dans l'esprit, des barreaux

Jour après jour, la mort traîne son odeur
Sur un agneau blessé qui voit venir son heure
Et quand l'imprenable s'affaisse sous le fardeau
Alésia, au pied coupe la faux

D'Alésia ne reste plus un mot
Dans les moeurs d'une société
Dans l'esprit des bourreaux


7. SENTENCED TO DEATH

They judged and sentenced
Merciless and careless
You're innocent and you're the only one who knows it
Henceforth you're alone because all the people have abondoned you

Sentenced to death
Here and now
Because one day
You have dogged by bad luck

They have programmed your death and already
The countdown is resonating in your mind
Your cell is your coffin
And no one puts in it flowers or thoughts

You have only a little time left
You're feeling that your breath escapes you
The slow and heavy steps' sound of the executioner
Destroys your last hopes you're about to die
Inhuman ...men


8. INFLAMED WAY

Swarthy skin and white skin in my palms are revelling
In my flesh made of beast skin I still gaze upon it
Through haste and still water our bodies are attracted
A pair of flesh for the beast, again my stake dismast

When the south mouthful devours me
It's the north I slightly kiss
And when naked the fever takes me
On two bodies my fingers dance an inflame

Goddesses are facing but don't look at each other
The guard disappears and melts the woven carpet
The mouth forms avant-garde sounds
And the tongue, efficient, lurks into the melting put of senses

At last visiting this world that opens before me
Where sensuality and bestiality are just one
Throwing myself into this round without being covered
And releasing myself on this dissolute world


9. ASSIAH

The sphere of the materialistic world
Malkuth, part of the element the earth
Considered from the majority
But used to the dark time

Under the influence of the matter
In the Malkuth's sphere
Lost when we have no master
Or the truth, object of fear

Here we trample down its ground
We're full of it so much so that we beleive in it
Through our five senses, the reality is
So we try to make it longer for fear of being no more

The creation divided into ten spheres
By Mezia, the blazing sword
Beyond our senses, far into our era
At the first stage we have remained

Unaware of the reason of our condition
Sephiroth, the tree of the evolution
Your tracks and our choices are various
With all its weight, the sum of our actions implies


10. CONQUERIR LES REVES

(instrumental)


11. DARK HOURS

My ship sank into the darkness
Whereas the sails of love were set
Like a black mass they celebrate
They sacrifice the innocent with the pure sail

The stream mores me away from the lands of Phedre
And my lifted anchor didn't hear me
The great master stained my heart with sap
And little by little, my heartbeats dye

Everything is disorder, everything is confusion
In my head I suffer the apocalypse
And my afraid of seeing the eclipse appear

I trample the ash, I swallow the poison
The hand of death caresses my shoulder
And the forces of evil fund it funny


12. MON FRERE

Dans nos cœurs bat une force
Et nos veines, comme un long chemin
Guident l'énergie universelle
Ne tiens qu'à nous de s'en imprégner
Issue de la même chaire
Et nourrît au même sein
Tu es mon frère dans tout ton être

Mon frère dans la vie
Si loin de moi dans la mort
Enfantés d'une même femme
Nous rejoindrons différentes terres

Quand la larme coule sur ta joue
D'incompréhension vibre mon corps
Et lorsque tu baisses les bras
Plus fort j'embrasse le monde
Comme un archer qui a perdu sa cible
Tu tournes en rond et tire dans le vide

Mon frère dans la vie
La vérité est dans la mort
Es-tu sûr de mener le bon combat
Toi qui t'épuises et traînes le pas

Prisonnier de l'attachement
La liberté est dans le souffle
