Lyrics
Au d (c)but il y avait la terre, la mer et le ciel
Des forЄts verdoyantes et des rivires de miel
Des fruits d’or poussaient sur les arbres
La vigne s’enla§ ait discrtement sur les colonnes de marbre
O№ nichaient des oiseaux de toutes espces
Dans un ballet sempiternel c'(c)tait une pice
Mise en scne par un ma®tre parfait
Et dans ce tableau l’homme f"t (c)lev©, on racontait
Que si l’Eden f"t l'(c)crin de ce monde (c)tabli
L’humain devait Єtre le rubis qui l’avait serti
Peut-Єtre sa premire heure
Lorsqu’il n’avait pas peur des choses qui meurent, le bonheur (c)tait
Une somme de choses simples d’une vie
Dans un (c)tat appel© harmonie
L’homme prosperait, le monde embellissait
Dans cette re de paix le roi s’appelait Prom (c)th (c)e
Prom (c)th (c)e (c)tait combl© car il ne manquait de rien
Prot (c)g© de Dieu, et respect© par les siens, mais
Une nuit dans ses rЄves, Eblis le visita
Et lui demanda: «Dieux est-il plus fort que toi?»
Lui offrit un coffre renfermant tous les malheurs
Et lui insufla la haine et l’envie dans le c"ur
Le lendemain f"t le premier jour triste sur la terre
Prom (c)th (c)e assassina son propre frre
Lui ravit ses biens, enleva son (c)pouse
R (c)duit en esclavage les tribus au nombre de douze
Il leva une arm (c)e forte et robuste
Pour gouverner d’une manire cruelle et injuste
Se croyant immortel il fit tuer
Tous ses fils qui un jour auraient pu se soulever
Il fit bўtir une tour, (c)lev (c)e jusqu’au cieux
Arm© de son arc il partit faire la guerre Dieu
Beaucoup d’hommes aujourd’hui sont les descendants
De Prom (c)th (c)e, et de sa vision ont h (c)rit© Ils nomment § a un «d (c)tail» et sans scrupules ils taillent
A leur peuple une v (c)ritable peau de b (c)tail
Un exemple de plus, que l’histoire lorgne
D’exploitation de l’aveugle par le borgne
Et si la vie terrestre est un verre d’eau de Javel
Pourquoi tirer des flches dans le ciel de Babel?
Tous ces drames, ces actes infames pour le tr (c)sor de Rackham
Ils ont fait pleuvoir du feu sur la patrie d’Abraham
Autant en emporte le vent du d (c)sert
C’est Cerbreaux enfers que Prometh (c)e dessert
Cher est le bonheur car pieuse est la piste
A quoi bon Єtre roi quand on est riche et triste?
Les ўmes s'(c)vaporent loin de la terre
Le temps s'(c)coule, les palais s'(c)croulent, deviennent poussire
Prom (c)th (c)e, hier, demain, premier humain
Chef d’une meute aux royaumes des chiens
Qu’il paye la folie de ses actions
En attendant dans la douleur la r (c)surrection
Lyrics translation
At the d (C) purpose there was the Earth, the sea and the sky
Green forests and honey rivers
Golden fruits grew on trees
The vine grows discreetly on the marble columns
O№ nesting birds of all species
In an eternal ballet there was a pice
Installation by a perfect machine
And in this painting the man f " T (C) lev©, we told
That if Eden f ' t the (c)horsehair of this World (C) laid
The human had to be the ruby that had set it
May be its first hour
When he was not afraid of things that die, happiness (C) was silent
A sum of simple things of a lifetime
In a (C) tat call© harmony
Man prospered, the world beautified
In this re of Peace The King was called Prom (c)th (C) e
Prom (c)th (C)E (c)Tait combl© because there was nothing missing
Prot (C) g of God, and respect by his own, but
One night in his dreams, Eblis visited him
And asked him, " is God stronger than you?»
Offered him a chest containing all the misfortunes
And instilled hatred and envy in her heart
The next day f ' t the first sad day on Earth
Prom (c)th (C)E assassina her own brother
He took away his possessions, took away his (c)pouse
R (c) enslaved the Twelve Tribes
He raised a strong and robust arm (c)E
To rule in a cruel and unjust manner
Believing himself immortal, he had him killed.
All his sons who one day could have risen
And he made a tower, (C) lev (C) e unto heaven
Arm of his bow he went to war God
Many men today are descendants
Of Prom (c)th (C) e, and of his vision have H (C)laughs© they name § a a "D (C) tail" and unscrupulously they cut
To their people a v (c)ritable skin of B (C) tail
One more example, that history looks at
Exploitation of the blind by the blind
What if earthly life is a glass of bleach
Why shoot arrows in the sky of Babel?
All these dramas, these infamous acts for Rackham's tr (c)sor
They rained fire on Abraham's Homeland
As much as the wind of the D (C)serves
It is hell Cerbreaux that Prometh (c)E serves
Dear is happiness because pious is the track
What good is being a king when you're rich and sad?
Ymes s ' (c)vaporize away from the Earth
Time s '(c)flows, the palaces s ' (c)crumbles, become dust
Prom (c) th (C) E, yesterday, tomorrow, first human
Leader of a pack in the dog Kingdoms
That he pays the madness of his actions
Waiting in pain r (c)surrection
