LYRICS : Clémentine BROWNE A hundred years of peace had gotten men to lock themselves you’re too many to feed anyway you’re almost glad that we are here Men are wolves to men trapped inside their walls of denial rolling-out the same old strategy that created their common enemy The cattle didn’t guess its fate until they got face to face the cattle didn’t choose its fight till they came to clean all parasites A hundred years of peace had gotten men to lock themselves you’re too many to feed anyway you’re almost glad that we are here Men are wolves to men trapped inside their walls of denial rolling-out the same old strategy that created their common enemy The cattle didn’t guess its fate until they got face to face the cattle didn’t choose its fight till they came to clean all parasites You’re too many to feed anyway you’re almost glad that we are here to... CLEAN ALL PARASITES

The Tide 06:24
LYRICS : Albéric LE HUÉDÉ Floating in wooly passivity The tides of the present Ever wash over me Reaching out in the current Feel the stream of eternity Stranger to the instant Longing for momentaneity But the comfort of the past is alluring Spins the wheel of nostalgia, concealing Future contemplation broods deception Disillusioned by our own projections The flesh is weak, but the spirit is a prison Future then past, out of sync Present was here, lost in a blink [x2] Musty memories, unborn illusions Skimming in time, no sensations All that is old does not glitter Not all those who are lost wander Release the time locks Unplan the past, Forget the future, RELEASE Open to the tide Accepting the flow Of perpetual PRESENT I feel I reach AWARENESS {x2] The tide is rising again I feel the moment I reach out and EMBRACE Time unveiled Synchronized the wave I feel The moment I reach awareness [x2] Perception of all Alive In everything No time Can define me but now I Am CONSCIOUS I am Conscious

Y 08:31
Lyrics : Clémentine BROWNE There are moments of your life That may feel like a Bandersnatch episode. Unaccurate future on both ends, And the switch you’ve got in your hand only leads to one choice. I wasn’t running away, nor was I dreaming awake Did I behave wisely, or did my ambition need to be nur- tured? But when you told me how your new life had gotten so vivid, I felt that you had kept some dreams alive as much as I did. Even though I said I wouldn’t bury myself here, I was too coward to commit, and couldn’t stay still Even though I said I wouldn’t bury myself here, I was too coward to commit and got one story killed Not saying it wasn’t the right thing Just keeping alive this reluctant dream Where I still picture unborn children of ours But when I said I wouldn’t bury myself here, An emanation of my ego had stepped forward And decided to erase one of the two paths. Was I too afraid of being part of a small community that would put too much pressure on my ability to grow up? It was easier to leave. It always is. Easier to keep moving than facing what uncovers while staying still. But I felt that you had kept this dream alive as much as I did. And ego had the final say on this story (x2) Ego

Berserker 04:47
LYRICS : Clémentine BROWNE / Kevin WEECXSTEEN It smells like blood around this party What they call protecting their family Still breaks so many lives today Vendettas maintain their control Berserkers keep it eye for an eye The more they sin, the more they preach Their gods created these monsters Blind followers of enlightened saints Who drive their eyes and arms With no rest, no hesitation They swore to kill you They looked at me with that smile Sweet as lambs but their limbs are sore The more they sin, the more they preach, Punishers with no understanding Vendettas maintain their control Berserkers keep it eye for an eye The more they sin, the more they preach Their gods created these monsters Obsessed by revenge x 2 It smells blood around this party How could this be called a family? They looked at me with that smile Sweet as lambs, but their limbs are sore Punishers with no understanding Who only know their darkest side... SO LET THEIR DARK SIDE ARISE Their saints... Made them... BERSERKERS

LYRICS : Clémentine BROWNE / Quentin GENDROT Wandering around through the misty pines You’re searching for a truth, in your errance to recline The soldier you once were cannot guide your feet In this inner homeland you wish to meet The war you once led is a sordid tale The anger and pain you felt have just fed your shell Why such a narrow mind, When the horizon’s so wide? In the water running wild, Answers you won’t find Wandering around this inner cloud of pain Rewinding over and over the moments where you failed The soldier you once were cannot guide your feet In this inner homeland you wish to meet The war you once led is a sordid tale The anger and pain you felt have just fed your shell Why such a narrow mind, when the horizon’s so wide? Twisted tricks of your mind, are those that keep you blind But reflections of another kind will help any soldier to rebound Rise and see, how far you’ve got, just today Rise and feel all that makes you feel like you’re reborn everyday Brace yourself, prepare for the war that comes in your way Look inside, the child who’s here is your only mission And that’s why the soldier is meant to be This inner child is yours to protect That’s why the soldiers’s meant to be [repeat] And a soldier I’ll always be (this war will never end) I will pledge like I’ve never pledged before This child will feel unsafe no more Crush the enemy Set myself free And that’s the soldier I’ll always be
