Sound dedicated to Homo Sapiens
Sound dedicated to the next aliens
To those who don't think the world is for sale
Those who can see booming system has failed !

Dark Energy - Antigravity
A supernova burst out of sight
Now our future looks so bright
We have been called out in the dark
To meet the shadows in our hearts
Dark Energy - Antigravity
We're cruising towards the black hole
Feeling attracted heart and soul
The spaceship begins to lose control
The event horizon as a boundary, it's the point of no return
Is it a flight of poetry to feel so cold when we're supposed to burn ?
We're all shining in the black hole
Being absorbed heart and soul
The past has never been so dark
As if we had played a walk-on part
-How was it before ?
-I don't know
We were holograms
Only human scans
Dark Energy - Antigravity

Easy come easy go
Easy Speech
We bark like dogs
Easy birth Easy death
Eazy chaining
We obey like dogs
Easy terms Easy money

Easy meat, easy game
Easy target
We die like dogs
Wild dogs bite
Starving dogs in the street
They stray
Easy way easy access
Easy handling
We walk like dogs
Easy life Easy love
Easy breakdown
We die like dogs

C'est les rats scélérats, c'est les rats scélérats, c'est encore les rats
Ennemis des carnages
Des humains, des félins, des canins
De survivre seulement la rage
Plutôt que de ronger son frein
L'adaptation et l'immunisation
Comme inoculées par les poisons de l'Homme
Qui sera l'avenir en somme ?
C'est les rats scélérats, c'est les rats scélérats, c'est encore les rats
Crépusculaires créatures
Urbaines, hantant les endroits obscurs
Depuis les déserts les plus torrides
Jusqu'aux forêts tropicales humides
La prolifération des générations
Comme surgissant des ruines et du capharnaüm
Qui sera l'avenir de l'Homme ?
On en a ras le bol
Nous les rats
D'être symboles
Du choléra
De la peste
Et du reste
C'est les rats scélérats, c'est les rats scélérats, c'est toujours les rats

Black Queen
02:56
|
|||
|
She's all dressed in black
Cause there's no darker color
She really got the knack
One way or another
Loving orchids
The accursed poets
And a glass of Moët
Sometimes...
Interested in deviant things
She finds normality boring
Turns all into art
Life into a drawing
Loving darkness
Decadent artists
And a rule to transgress
Sometimes...
SHE'S THE BLACK QUEEN
ON THE DANCE FLOOR
SHE'S A MASTER PIECE
ON THE CHESSBOARD
She talks about crucifixion
Bones and bodies dislocated
Does it with a passion
A bit sophisticated
Loving pictures
Of very strange creatures
And ultimate adventures
Sometimes...
SHE'S THE BLACK QUEEN
ON THE DANCE FLOOR
SHE'S A MASTER PIECE
ON THE CHESSBOARD

Two witches scream and yell long to open the doors of Hell
Unchain anger, revive shades, drain every river every well
Let us cast some deadly spells, play magic we don't know
Let us burn and trample lives and souls wherever they flow
We will cut and shave and trim and dissect and divide
Celebrate the art of breaking entities apart
Two witches loudly breath an air that quickly starts to freeze
And their breath behead the trees fries the birds and kill the bees
Let us cast some deadly spells, play magic we don't know
Let us burn and trample lives and souls wherever they flow
We will cut and shave and trim and dissect and divide
Celebrate the art of breaking entities apart
Two witches fly so high that the clouds are bound to cry
And their voice echoes the sound of a billion screaming gods
Let us cast some deadly spells, play magic we don't know
Let us burn and trample lives and souls wherever they flow
We will cut and shave and trim and dissect and divide
Celebrate the art of breaking entities apart

Human

I am a machine gun
And I kill just for fun
No need no heart or brain
For spreading hate and pain
Created for destruction
I work in desperation
The places I go by
Ruins are left behind
THEY CALL ME HUMAN
MY NAME'S AN IRONY
THEY CALL ME HUMAN
BUT I'M THE GOD OF TYRANNY
I'm science and religion
Master and servant
I'm a sacred animal
An economic miracle
I have a single fear
The one to disappear
And as I can't be saved
I take the world to my grave
THEY CALL ME HUMAN
MY NAME'S AN IRONY
THEY CALL ME HUMAN
BUT I'M THE GOD OF TYRANNY
