Lyrics
L’essence de la vie n’est que contradiction
Souffles tes cierges avant de baillonner tes enfants
Que ta descendance s’eteigne comme une braise de sang
Delivres ces oiseaux momifies de leur cage
Carresses d’emotion jonches d’ames de marbre
Que nos vies d’agenouilles s’enduisent de douleur
Je ne veux plus survivre a ce monde a venir
Ou vais-je?
A quoi sert-on?
Quelle est l’origine de l’etre?
Je t’en supplie Dieu ne me dit plus non !
Rassure nous sur ces questions qui nous hantent
Si tu nous a cree, pourquoi nous laisser deriver
La dualite entre le bien et le mal
Cette atroce faculte de pouvoir rever
Le primum movins, l’absence du noir
Cette impossibilite de ne pouvoir avancer
Sans toujours trebucher, s’effondrer
Le Seigneur de mon ego n’est qu’illusion
Pourquoi nous laisser eternellement sans reponse
Je ne peux plus supporter l’idee meme d’exister
Bafouons notre Foi en ton omniscience
Prier n’exauce meme plus mes peches
Es-tu le spleen, la glaciale approche du neant
L’habile imagination d’une poignee de croyants
Tu nous as donne une unique reponse dans la fuite
Il faudra bien un jour que douleur s’amenuise
J’ai enfin trouve le calme et la serenite
Qui precede le detachement
La compassion de tout etre
N’est qu’impermanence et illumination
5. Les Litanies de Satan
O Toi, le plus savant et le plus beau des Anges
Dieu trahi par le sort et prive de louanges
O Satan, prends pitie de ma longue misere !
O Prince de l’exil, a qui l’on a fait tort
Et qui, vaincu, toujours te redresse plus fort
O Satan, prends pitie de ma longue misere !
Toi qui sais tout, grand roi des choses souterraines
Guerisseur familier des angoisses humaines
O Satan, prends pitie de ma longue misere !
Pere adoptif de ceux qu’en sa noire colere
Du paradis terrestre a chasses Dieu le Pere
O Satan, prends pitie de ma longue misere !
O Toi qui de la Mort, ta vieille et forte amante
Engendras l’Esperance, — une folle charmante !
O Satan, prends pitie de ma longue misere !
Gloire et louange a toi, Satan, dans les hauteurs
Du ciel, ou tu regnas, et dans les profondeurs
De l’Enfer, ou, vaincu, tu reves en silence !
Fais que mon ame un jour, sous l’Arbre de Science
Pres de toi se repose, a l’heure ou sur ton front
Comme un Temple nouveau ses rameaux s’epandront !
6. La Druidesse du G (c)vaudan
Tapie dans l’ombre d’une nuit sauvage
Dernier contrepoids d’animalite dressee
Dressee contre l’humanite
A pas de loup elle se faufile
Courbant son ossature d’une souplesse divine
Filant tel le feu follet au milieu des forets
Ou son velours bleute entoure un regard de saphir cisele
Druidesse, defie les pieges a loups tendus a l’encontre de ton elegance
Car l’homme effraye s’arme contre ton improbable existence
Appeure les, toi la proie ideale, impitoyablement chassee
Bouc emissaire, agitateur de sortileges ancres dans le passe
Memoire de nos ancetres, terrorises par la Bete
La druidesse du Gevaudan tranforme son corps en metamorphose
Ses crocs dechiquetant sa peau d’ecorce de rose
Rude accouchement d’un metabolisme necrose
Devorante renaissance d’un sang noir et souille
La druidesse du Gevaudan se regenere de sagesse et d’immobilisme
Enluminant ses grimoires de dorures gaeliques
Offrant a la nature son sang comme «force de vie»
Elle canalise la Bete en chacune de nos folies Faisons appel aux rudiments des
techniques de chasse
Druidesse, defie les pieges a loups tendus a l’encontre de ton elegance
Car l’homme effraye s’arme contre ton improbable existence
Appeure les, toi la proie ideale, impitoyablement chassee
Bouc emissaire, agitateur de sortileges ancres dans le passe
De nos contrees reculees
Lyrics translation
The essence of life is only contradiction
Blow Your Candles before you yawn your children
Let your offspring die like a ember of blood
Deliver these mummified birds from their cage
Carresses of emotion junks of marble ames
Let our lives on our knees get smeared with pain
I don't want to survive this world to come
Where am I going?
What's the use?
What is the origin of being?
I beg you, God doesn't tell me no more !
Reassure us on these issues that haunt us
If you believed us, why let us go?
The duality between good and evil
This heinous Faculty of being able to review
The primum movins, the absence of the black
This impossibility of not being able to move forward
Without always trebucher, collapse
The Lord of my ego is only illusion
Why leave us forever unanswered
I can't stand the idea of even existing
Let us flout our faith in your omniscience
Praying doesn't even answer my sins anymore
Are you the spleen, the icy approach to nothingness
The skillful imagination of a handful of believers
You gave us a single answer in the escape
It will take one day for the pain to subside
I finally found calm and serenity
Who precedes the posting
The compassion of all being
Is only impermanence and enlightenment
5. The Litanies of Satan
O you, the most learned and the most beautiful of Angels
God betrayed by fate and deprived of praise
O Satan, take pity on my long misery !
O Prince of Exile, wronged
And who, defeated, always straightens you stronger
O Satan, take pity on my long misery !
You who know everything, great king of underground things
Familiar warrior of human anxieties
O Satan, take pity on my long misery !
Adoptive father of those who in his black anger
From the earthly paradise has God the father driven away
O Satan, take pity on my long misery !
O you who Of Death, your old and strong lover
You beget hope, a charming madwoman !
O Satan, take pity on my long misery !
Glory and praise to Thee, Satan, in the high places
From heaven, where you reigned, and in the depths
From Hell, or, defeated, you revel in silence !
Make my soul one day, under the Tree of Science
Near you rests, on time or on your forehead
Like a new Temple its branches will spread !
6. The druidess of the G (C)vaudan
Lurking in the shadow of a wild night
Last weight of dressed animalite
Trained against humanity
No wolf she sneaks
Bending his frame with divine flexibility
Spinning like the wildfire in the middle of the woods
Or its blue velvet surrounds a look of sapphire cisele
Druidesse, defy the plagues of wolves outstretched against your elegance
For Man scares himself against your improbable existence
Call them, you the ideal prey, mercilessly hunted
Emissary goat, agitator of spells anchors in the pass
Memory of our ancestors, terrorized by The Beast
The Druidess of the Gevaudan transforms his body into metamorphosis
Her fangs shredding her skin of rose bark
Rough delivery of a metabolism necrosis
Devouring rebirth of a black blood and defile
The Druidess of the Gevaudan regenerates with wisdom and immobility
Illuminating his grimoires with Gaelic gilding
Offering nature its blood as a " life force»
She channels The Beast in each of our follies let's call on the rudiments of
hunting techniques
Druidesse, defy the plagues of wolves outstretched against your elegance
For Man scares himself against your improbable existence
Call them, you the ideal prey, mercilessly hunted
Emissary goat, agitator of spells anchors in the pass
Of our backwardness
