Wher it had been left
hundreds of years ago extract from the depth is but a setting sun paradise is scace in this light that won't shine what is our earthly task but a worthy design? some held it in sight for scattered it may have been they're ready to fight in a priceless inkling the request is here ready to resurrect what else can we do but recover the project our earthly design can be so detached what crushes our desire not to be trapped when the higher spheres tell us to and not to everyone agrees demanding more veto our earthly design can we be so detached what crushes our desire not to be trapped? ------------- Lyrics Powered by LyricFind Written By GANE SADIER <i>Lyrics © Universal Music Publishing Group</i> |

matiĿres sensuelles et sans suite
l'enfance est plus sympathique l'enfance apporte le magique que faire quand on a tout fait tout lu tout bu tout mange tout donne en vrac et en detail quand on a crie sur tous les toits pleure et ri dans les villes et en campagne l'enfance est plus authentique le jardin au haut portique la maison la maison d'autrefois la maison la maison Ħ venir et le silence me penetrera les pierres, les arbres, les murs, racontent (from 1'45'') (with "la maison...") and they seemed to say : "et le silence-trera et me penetrera" but silence-trera means nothing, or it's just for the rhyme. Cybele's Reverie childhood is very nice childhood brings magic What to do when one has done everything? Read everything, drunk everything, eaten everything? Given everthing in truth and in detail, when one has cried on all the rooftops, wept and laughed in the towns and in the country? childhood is the most real the garden of new visions the house, the house, of other times the house, the house that we have left and the silence that penetrates me |

Depuis le temps que c'est promis
nous irons tous au paradis- c'est un appel sourd une promesse aveuglante qui noie la conscience; ce paradis me pĿse, son poids incommensurable abruti; ancree dans des strates profondes, une pulsion des plus alienantes; telle une fausse liberation, un etat de pure dependance; le paradis est derriĿre moi dans le ventre de ma maman- unchallenged myths, they lie heavy, l'imaginaire is our worse enemy, the paradise, what an idea ! a guardian still on duty. Olv 26 Before the promised times we were always in paradise it's a name given to one promise (.....)who kills conscience the paradise I think of, its weight incomprehensibly abrupt (....) in these profound layers (....) a false liberation a state of pure dependence the paradise is behind me in the center of my mother- unchallenged myths, they lie heavy, l'imaginaire is our worse enemy, the paradise, what an idea ! a guardian still on duty. |

All the small boats on the water aren't
going anywhere, Surely they must be loaded with more than simple matter, Floating on top and gracefully tending to the same pole, All the small boats on the water going nowhere Is it true that none of them, will ever break free and sail? Feel the night is made of rocks, the stagnant mass... Is it true that none of them, will ever break free and sail? Break free from the stagnant boats, left in obscurity All the faces with their eyes closed, giving a smile, weightless Like a body that would vacate to its own light Is it true that none of these contented happy faces will not ever hear a cry, won't hear a cry? Is it true that none of these contented happy faces will not ever hear a cry, filled with love not with desire, love not desire? |

Though this world's essentially
An absurd place to be living in It doesn't call for bubble withdrawal I've been told it's a fact of life Men have to kill one another Well, I say there are still things worth fighting for La resistance! Though this world's essentially An absurd place to be living in It doesn't call for bubble withdrawal It said 'Human existence is pointless' As acts of rebellious solidarity Can bring sense in this world La resistance! Life is so hard La resistance!

I didn't question I didn't know
As far as I'd seen life was endless When I realized I had to let go We are mere mortals as to the rest It's not eternal, imperishable While on the move It's not eternal, interminable Progress is the clue I though IBM was born with the world The US flag would float forever The cold opponent did pack away The capital will have to follow It's not eternal, imperishable Oh yes it will go It's not eternal, imperishable The dinosaur law It's not eternal, imperishable Oh yes it will go It's not eternal, imperishable The dinosaur law Look at the symbols, they are alive They move evolve and then they die |
