Lyrics

La Chute:

Sans désespoir
Aucun besoin d’espoir
Ma mission est accompli ici
Je regarde ce qui est en face de moi
Une chute
Je n’ai pas peur
L’avenir m’attend
Tout la bas vers l’au delà
Décision c’est sur ces choses faite
J’avance vers la chute
C’est ma chute
Ou m’attend une oubliette
Mon oubliette de paradis ! …

Lyrics

I think I’ve been a ghost all of my life

***

A vague impression
Hangs deep inside my mind
Of a past life of some kind
Lived with near perfect love
But from somewhere else above
With someone whose soul is
Is akin to a reason to believe
In the belonging and the essence
Of endless true longing
True longing
That never has an ending
Another Ghost
That is simply the ghost of me
Stranded here on this island Earth
But without you
A union so true
Sadly denied in this life
In this life
But maybe the gods shall prevail
And grant me one last wish
Before I become another Ghost

***

Chorus:

Maybe I’ve been a ghost
All of my life
But this lost love
Cuts like a knife
Out of the valleys
Of darkness and death
To the hallowed alleyways
Of Angels up above

***

Poem:

Au plus profond de son âme
Existe une vague impression
D'une vie passée
Une vie où régnait un amour parfait

Cette vie, avec celle dont l’âme est,
Pour lui, synonyme d'appartenance
Et l'essence d'un désir éternel
Un désir pur et sincère

Un autre fantôme !
Ce n'est que lui, son fantôme
ici Échoué sur cette île Terre

Seulement voila, elle n’est pas là
Et il souffre de cette union qui ne peut être vécue
Cruellement interdite
Pourquoi ?
Et si les dieux l’emportaient ?
Qu'ils lui accordent un dernier vœu
Avant qu'il ne devienne un Autre Fantôme

***

But it seems we make our own ghosts and haunt ourselves!

Lyrics

Renaissance

Les années ont passé
Et pourtant rien n’a changé
Aucunement oublié et ce jusqu’à l’éternité

Ma vie, un renouveau
Il n’y a rien de plus beau
Plus je t’entends, plus je suis comblée
Il est si beau d’aimer

Tout comme des bons souvenirs
Chaque instant devient très précieux
Si heureuse de repartir
Sur ce nouveau chemin merveilleux

Rien de ce qui a été
Ne pourra jamais être effacé

Lyrics

Delapsus Resurgam
Delapsus Resurgam
Et Exspiravit A Me Mortuus Est
Delapsus Resurgam
Nunc In Pace Vagabor
Ad Infinitum Et Ultra
Delapsus Resurgam
Et Exspiravit A Me Mortuus Est
In Saecula Saeculorum
In Pace In In Pace
Postremo Liberatus Sum
In Pace Eterna Avolare
