Parasites (Clean All)

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

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

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

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

Soldier (ft Qlay)
07:33

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
