Så kom du då till sist. Du var en främling en mytgestalt som jag hört talas om. Så många hade målat dina bilder men det var bortom bilderna du kom. Vi trodde du var användbar, till salu vi skrev ditt namn på våra stridsbanér vi byggde katedraler högt mot himlen men du gick hela tiden länge ner. Du är ett barn som ligger på ett jordgolv du fryser om vi inte gripper in du rör vid kroppar, hatar orättvisor du bjuder älskande på moget vin. Du stiger ut ur tomma gravar du är en vind som säger: det bliv vå. Du kommer som en flykting över bergen du följer oss dit ingen annan når. Du är den sång om livet som jag glömde den sanning jag förrådde dag för dag. Jag svek mig själv: den spegel som jag gömde bär dina bråddjup, dina anletsdrag. Kom närmare. Bli kvar hos mig. Det mörknar och kanske ljusnar det på bytt igen. Ditt liv ska bära mig. Jag hör en koltrast som sjunger timmen innan gryningen

Four and twenty years ago, I come into this life, The son of a woman and a man who lived in strife. He was tired of being poor and he wasn't into selling door to door And he worked like the devil to be more. A different kind of poverty now upsets me so. Night after sleepless night, I walk the floor and I want to know- why am I so alone? Where is my woman can I bring her home? Have I driven her away? Is she gone? Morning comes to sunrise and I'm driven to my bed. I see that it is empty and there's devils in my head. I embrace the many colored beast. I grow weary of the torment, can there be no peace? And I find myself just wishing that my life would simply cease.

Marcher vers le Nord, en voilà une folie À contre courant, irrationnelle envie Je préfère à l'azur, l'aurore boréale Les arbres de cristal, le silence enveloppant Marcher sans remords, vers d'autres replis Sauvages et blancs, risquer jusqu'à ma vie Toucher la démesure, devenir animal Fuir les capitales, aux bruits rassurants Marcher vers le Nord Marcher vers le Nord, l'idée impolie À en croire les hommes, aux rêves endormis Les yeux pleins d'usure, appellent l'idéal La solitude brutale, la force des géants Marcher, et encore, sans être affaibli De ruisseaux murmurants, en chemins de pierres polies Marcher sans blessures, le rêve monumental D'un élan fatal, vers un pôle attirant Marcher vers le Nord

I. Situation Opening my eyes Eyes wide open Why am I lying down? Twenty-one grams heavier than I was intended to be Who are you, white man? Is this the figure of God? Am I a jumping Jack, just the Devil's pawn? You, me, two, The disaster Opening my eyes Eyes wide shut The pillbox is empty Flashback, bright light, black flight Inside my mind, I clearly see the battlefield I am a jumping Jack, just the Devil's pawn You, me, two The disaster II. Sanctification Remembrance of this day… 'Til then going through life asleep, I was sitting on a bench Lost in thought, I caught sight of red shoes Raising my head, I witnessed my own birth With the firm belief that you were the figure of mankind's salvation The woman without a shadow killed the guy without a heart Now paladin, knight in white satin You, me… Us And then The disaster III. Gravitation The world is our village City lights, shining stars Street lamps are turning into spotlights, you're dancing in their beams The harvest moon in full glow is looking at you, turning around Spreading its light over the buildings of our Champs-Élysées Red carpet to the horizon She vexes the sun, jealous of this intimacy Your hair is blowing in the wind Marilyn is living again, dress fluttering up above an air vent Tilting your head back, you send a laugh to the skyline My heart is bigger than I am IV. Disintegration We've almost arrived, I should have taken your hand, Why didn't I take your hand? In the silent noise, I still hear the screeching tyres Slow motion, silence, eternity Who would have thought that a red shoe, flying in an arc, could make the world collapse? V. Sedation Closing my eyes I am lying down, witnessing my own death Through the window, I clearly see the skyline, I'm coming to you, in pursuit of your laugh The pillbox is empty No more hands, just wings No more lambs, just kings VI. Elevation Oooh sending away my love for you Oooh running away from this world to you Oooh blowing away my love for you Oooh the earth is fading away, no more dirt on my shoe VII. Resolution VIII. Vortex
