I’ve been locked up in here for so long
I see the sky but it is grey and cloudy
The air is unbreathable
I’m so far from home
Yet I remember so well
The vast ice fields
Immaculate ice, the pure cold that would bite us
There we loved Nature
She was our mother
Here, so far from home
Locked up for so long
I know I will never go home
I dreamed of new knowledge
White men look at me as if I was an animal
Through the fences
In their eyes I see nothing but disdain
Berlin, Frankfurt, Krefeld, Paris
Their beliefs are no better than mine
Yet they treat me as a subhuman
As men of all kinds are locked up as we are
Their looks are as sad as ours
A strange disease is killing us
Their wizards dressed in white
Can do nothing for us
There we loved Nature
She was our mother
Here, so far from home
Locked up for so long
Our children were the first to go
Our ancestors will welcome them
Their suffering has ended
And we will soon join them

Chrysalis
03:37
|

Tearing of my soul was only a chrysalis
My spirit emerged purified
It flies above the blackness of my being
Bathing it with a saving light
Life before profit!
We stand against obsolete spirits
hich prevents the world from breathing
There is no more time for hate
Only for mutual respect
Tolerance against barbarism!
We cannot go back in time
Or change our dramatic past
Let’s evolve our minds and spirits
Everyone must build his own chrysalis
But in this sad and sorry world of sheep
I’m the wolf more than ever
The predator of hatred and fear
The renewal of another life
Let us pursue the quest for love and truth
Crushing our discernment
The ignorant destroy their past
Depriving their people of their future
The hard blows of knowledge
The indestructible walls of wisdom
Nourished by Respect and Education
So we will be invincible
We cannot go back in time
Or change our dramatic past
Let’s evolve our minds and spirits
Everyone must build his own chrysalis

7 Virtues
05:27
|
|||
I walk straight on my path
Sure of my actions and my thoughts
I will never touch knee to the ground
I do what is right
Courage is not the absence of fear
But the fight against it
Live when you must live
Die when you must die
With each victory against my demons
I grow
And if I disappear in darkness
Like a dragon of light I will be reborn
«Benevolence carries with it
Anything that tries to hinder it
As easily as water dominates fire» (Mencius)
7 virtues are my way
I grow like a plant in the sun
Art and knowledge quench my thirst
7 virtues are my guardians
My thoughts are my words
My words are my deeds
My fight : the Honesty
Be right : my victory
If all rationality is lost
I will stand up against a thousand enemies
Even if fear seeks a passage
My mind will close the way to my heart
Honor as the bottom of my guts
Gives me strength to move forward
Peace of mind
Anger and jealousy left my soul
Respect of everything that lives
Maintains me in symbiosis with the universe
Side to side
Our pack will resist chaos
Resistant to lightning and storms
Our light will erase the darkness
7 virtues are my way
I grow like a plant in the sun
Art and knowledge quench my thirst
7 virtues are my guardians

Valhalla
04:33
|
|||
I no longer feel the pain
I forgot the taste of blood
Fire does not burn me anymore
Cold of steel no longer bites me
No more hate, no more love
Wind whispers through the silence
You see raven women coming down on you
Like in a dream
They bring us with them
Carry us delicately
My brothers and me
Yet we are dead
In front of the big palace
The largest and most beautiful ever erected
Its ceiling higher than a mountain
Covered with golden shields
Hundreds of doors around
And above one of them
A magic tower
Father sees and knows everything
He sits in his kingdom
Lance in his hand
Wolves at his feet
Crows on his shoulder
He loves and welcomes us
Seated in the Great Hall
We feast and we drink
We put on our armor
And on this verdant expanse
We shall die and resuscitate eternally
Waiting for the day
You will deliver the ultimate fight
With the Father Of All Things
All the Einherjars in Odin’s meadow
Every day defending themselves
They designate the dead
Then ride back from battle
Together they sit
Reconciled

Despair
05:20
|
|||
I wander alone and in despair
Memories haunt me
And make my soul bleed
You left me for so long
That your face has faded
I can’t bear it anymore
I think of you every second
Of my senseless life
I’m broken from the inside
The essence of my being has gone with you
I’m an empty shell
I walk amongst the graves
I spend my time crying
In front of this cold stone
Your sweet face
Half faded by a sun
That does not warm me anymore
My heart bleeds all the time
Yet it is frozen
Rain soaked my body
Yet I did not react
I haven’t seen the moon rise
It’s dark
Happiness disappeared
It no longer had any reason to be
I look forward
To the day when I will join you
In Hell or paradise, it doesn’t matter
I want to be with you
How can purity die ?
I do not have the courage
To reach you, and yet... I desire it so much
I feel your presence, always
And how your hand caresses my face
In this room which was yours
Nothing has moved
Your perfume is floating in the air
I still have to survive today
And suffer a long day without you
My child

Una vida
06:06
|
|||
Bajo el peso de los escombros
Busco desesperado los míos
La pena del mundo sobre mis hombros
Veo la vida quitar mis niños
Under the weight of rubble
Desperate, I’m looking for mine
The sorrow of the world on my shoulders
I see life giving up on my children
In the ruined street
I am wandering with a sorrowful soul
Life destroyed by a phantom enemy
Atravesando las nubes del cielo
Baja la muerte Por querer vivir libres
Nos abandona el mundo y su suerte
En el ensordecedor silencio
Un ruido, sangre cae de mi frente
El suelo se derumba, tengo frio
Mi vida se va de repente
The world has abandoned us
Forgetting us is killing us
Sitting in your cozy chair
Comfortably sitting in your chair
You keep ignoring us
Sitting in your cozy chair
You still ignore us
