01. Complete Exsanguination

[Instrumental]

02. Slut

Suddenly a yawning gulf appears under my feet
Now I can see the real face of the traitor
Paralysed by the unconceivable I'm still petrified
I see the fear in your eyes as you realize
The vile depht of your treachery

You deserve my wrath, deserve to suffer
Deserve to feel what I felt
The features are different,
The mask of beauty is fissured
And lets appear insane baseness of your soul
Harmony is collapsed
The ugly drowns the carnal shell little by little in an ocean of dust

I really saw you behind your disguise, the artefacts fall,
The evil stands at the same time fascinating and terrifying

Stench replaces the sweet perfume
Desires become disgust
Hypocrisy trickles from your smile
Your words are poison
Each tear you shed is an insult to me
Each sob is a lie
All from you, slut, is dead to me

The own idea of your existence inside
Will be soon an old memory
Buried in my nightmares

03. Grind Wit

Etranges visions perdues dans mon sommeil
L'homme est assis, violemment immobile.
Il trempe sa lame dans la médiocrité,
Et dans le sang la pointe immaculée
Ivre mort, suspendu aux levres du mépris
Il compose et un long sillon coule.

Il écorche l'esquisse jusqu'à en fléchir la trame
Il tapisse mon corps de ses mucosités
A l'ornière ruisselle l'éclat de ma structure viscérale
Le prisme et ses reflets ne renvoient que des cendres
Les bases sont fondées.

Ma part d'ombre t'appartient,
Tu porteras mes chaines
L'oeuvre inachevée, tableau de mon ame déconstruite
Ma part d'ombre t'appartient désormais.

Tu restes aveugle, tes mains tracent avec le mauvais sang

Ta signature sera celle de mon irréversible perte,
A laquelle je suis enchainé
Le mauvais guette, à l'affût de l'usure du temps,
Qui le laissera paraître
Et prendre le dessus lorsque l'écorce s'effritera.

Tu peux bruler ma langue, écorcher mes paupières,
Je saurai malgré tout
Et je rêve d'un noeud coulant se refermant inexorablement sur ma gorge

04. Saw It All

Saw it all
When it happens that you love someone this someone possesses you
I refuse to be possessed by anyone on Earth
My silentglance is a torture for the mirror of the mind
Because people feel like if I was seeing through them instead of seeing them
Just take a look over yout shoulder

I dreamt they spilled blood everywhere around me
And I found it really aesthetic
All these people I killed, in particular the one I killed so many times

A part of me wants to make love with her
Another wants to see her head on a pick
Adrenaline grows and the excitation gets its paroxysm
With the sexual dimension of the knife entering the flesh

Just take a look over your shoulder
I saw it all
Embraced your life
Saw it all
Leaded you behind
Coloness takes me away and the sight of colours is so delicious
Consider that your pain's nothing, compared to mine

When it happens that you love someone this someone possesses you
I refuse to be possessed by anyone on Earth
The instinct for destruction has no limit anymore and my work is now
To exterminate what does not deserve to live
Even my reason I want to be delivered from

Saw it all
Embraced your life
Saw it all
Leaded you behind
Coloness takes me away and the sight of colours is so delicious
Consider that your pain's nothing, compared to mine

05. Forsaken

Forsake
Every night happens the same relentless terrifying scenario
Alex ten years old has to confront hell to finally find the sleep

Closed eyelids do not prevent him to see
The hands on the ears and he still listens
Afraid that his heart stopped in te hammering of a funeral march
Forsaken, the hour has come
He's forsaken by the ones he trusted the most in

Between invisible creatures as darkness is falling around
Freezing kisses from his mother rejoining her bed in heaven

Closed eyelids do not prevent him to see
The hands on the ears and he still listens
Afraid that his heart stopped in te hammering of a funeral march
Scary noises under him

An uncertain place on the Earth and the ritual reject
Lead him to surrender himself in terror
Slave to the agressive outside
In the lair of the ashamed child

As he stands close to the Styx
Ready to fall and swim
Convinced that he will never be able to cross it
Abysses inhale him from underground

Closed eyelids do not prevent him to see
The hands on the ears and he still listens
Afraid that his heart stopped in te hammering of a funeral march
Forsaken, the hour has come
He's forsaken by the ones he trusted the most in

06. Smile Then Bleed

There's this vision of red colour on the stainless snow
Painful senses, kindly coldness
The shy warmness fleeing little by little
Let the place to the emptiness of unknown feelings
Smile then bleed
You smile?
No affection on my face

Each heartbeat I can feel is like a slow step to chaos
Irremediably attractd to the other side

A long way to the breakpoint
I saw the gleam and followed it, this trail tinged with blood
As the macaber furrow of my life

I dream about beautiful work I let behind
Transported by the desire to lose all that remains me
My eyes are closed
And I hear this voice repeating this words "smile then bleed"
White and red together are splendid

A long way to the breakpoint
I saw the gleam and followed it, this trail tinged with blood
As the macaber furrow of my life

The landscape is peaceful and hostility has disappeared
A piece of resplendent cruetly, progeny of the sufferings inside

I let you as memory this glorious picture
Where the colours of life and death are mixed in a last breath
Then I put the light off

A long way to the breakpoint
I saw the gleam and followed it, this trail tinged with blood
As the macaber furrow of my life
Asleep with a smile on my face

07. Pledge Of Retaliation

Daddy has told me when he was alive
That forgiveness is stength
And all That I want is to get rid of this hate which gnaws me
Accept my forgiveness and fall !

My bitterness devours my entrails, takes the entire place in me
Don't consider me as your enemy but sleep with an eye open

Cause the day will come and all my fondness will fall on you
I'll clasp you so much that I will be able to hear
The sound of your broken bones
A word from me will slide on you as a scalpel on your skin
You'll understand what my terror means
And my imploring glance will make you sick
Accept my forgiveness and fall

I look at myself and I probe my mind
What I can see destroys me everyday

Pledge of retaliation
The day will come and all my fondness will fall on you
I'll clasp you so much that I will be able to hear
The sound of your broken bones

I don't want any revenge just a return to the balance
The thing which helps me to live is to know you suffer
I'll stand stoical admiring your slow decline

Please, accept me to forget it all but never turn your back
All is behind now but I am sorry
Cause the uncounscious work is not over

08. Icon

Sonder vainement le mirroir de son ame
Sans jamais trouver de réponses, juste des craintes informes
Icone
Un regard fixe, des mots prononcés sans que les lèvres bougent

Ce qu'il y voit le détruit un peu plus chaque jour
L'esterieur est agressif, sa nudité si simple et apaisante,
Et il se scrute
Icone
Le verre brisée, la face mutilée, morcelée, continue de sourire
Il a regardé son visage en face, y a vu quelqu'un d'autre
Dieu ou père, quelle importance ?
Comme toutes ses ombres

Infinite conscience of nothingness
The infinite conscience of nothingness terrorizes the sick
That's why infinite conscience of nothingness terrorizes the sick

Quand la lune saigne,
Je romps l'écorce putride qu'il m'a confié
Je rode dans des plaines au mirroirs sans teint
Où j'entends
Monocorde,
Le chant des damnés
La conscience infinie du néant

A cet instant j'ai voulu tuer
A cet instant, voulu mourir
Tout ces ordres, et ses commandements
Nés d'une vie parallèle
A cet instant j'ai voulu tuer
A cet instant, voulu mourir
Tous ces ordres, et ces commandements maintenant désintégrés.

09. Human Circles

How easy and comfortable it's to be master in your own world
Enter my circle and let be a human instrument of it
Betray me and wait for your retribution

The mind next to the body patiently waits
And takes a look at the ill entity
The weak empty body enchained to unavoidable decrepitude
Condemned to return to ashes as impotent witness
My rules, my vision, my doom

You can be all and nothing from a second to another
As you're over with human state there's no turning back
Just patiently wait for your fate
Human as I know me
Thing as I deny you

This is an abstract conviction,
Everything still exists by the simple idea I have on it
Spiritually beheaded
When you're out of my circle you lose the right to be someone
Someone becomes something
And now something can pretend to have won the right to die
Human circles

Traumatism in my mind
The subject of my deceit is in front of me
Ans blood is boiling in my veins as the rage's growing in me

You can be all and nothing from a second to another
As you're over with human state there's noturning back
Just patiently wait for you fate
Human as I know you
Thing as I deny you

This is an abstract conviction
Everything still exists by the simple idea I have on it
Spiritually beheaded
Human circles

All of them are just things for me

10. Invoxhate

Here I stand, despair invading me
Dragging me in its vertiginous fall
Endless echoes of the howling
As a sweet requiem of existence

Invoke hate, the silence is deafening
Invoke hate, erase it and start again

His voice and mine confront inside
Creating an indescribable magma
Of inept whispers and mumurs
Commands, insults, treats and lies

Giddiness is growing stronger and my head's close
To explode
Extricate myself from all of this
Get the emptiness back
The walls are invisible and the anguish tortures me

Through my ears annihilate
Eradicate,
Invoxhate

Pain leaves me rocked in a languorous wave of the
Vital essence
Fleeing and discharging from my ear-drums

Through my head lacerate
Ejaculate
Invoxhate

All seems clear, as my eyes dissapear,
His world vanished away
Praying for touching the ground
And feel this hate splilled
Like the fragments of my smashed skull

11. The Underneath

I often wondered what could be hidden under
The sleeping thing that the eyes will never see
Lost somewhere in the dark water, silent and quiet
I fear the discharge

Watching
Waiting for your sleep, fear the underneath
Crouching
Waiting for your sleep, fear the underneath
The underneath

The carapace is frail and the peaceful warth of water
Wraps me up
Like a protecting uterus you never want to escape from
[The beast waits]
And receive the freezing [The beast waits] coldness of life
Torture of your first breath
The beast waits for you

Advent of the unknown side
Once born the entity gnaws each cell of the organism
It composed

The carapace is broken and I am swept along by the current
Like a gangrened literus vomiting a lifeless fetus
My feelings are so contradictory
Unconscious dreads it more than all

I felt my body slide slowly in liquid without being able
To prevent it
Sometimes it's better to watch the external world
From the underneath
When you are no more a part of it

12. Blindfolded Centuries

The awakening is brutal and the strange places around me
And both quiet and distressing
The urge to womit is back

In my inside world I think I've crossed the line
Swear and tears run on my skin
I feel the same pain again.
The ashes of my past life still burn
And cycle of my being is back in a new beggining
The first fruits of a second childhood which is more obscure and twisted
How could I forgive ?
Ho could I forget ?
During my soul crossed

Blindfolded centuries
The pathetic reflection of all I was frightened to be
Appears to me with unbearable brutality

This morning looks like the others
And I feel dizzy in front of the immobility of my existence
I've seen my equals cross the blindfolded centuries
And fall around me
Each time born in a different dimension
My own sick representations
Which perhaps only exist through me

But today begins my new life
In this pure white room
I can't move, the chains are back
To tell me that my torments are not over
I can just look at this new birth, powerless
The first breath's so painful

Blindfolded centuries
The pathetic reflection of all I was frightened to be
Appears to me with unbearable brutality

All that i believed being a part of me in this entity
Is just afucking illusion
