The Rules of Equilibrium

Hold me now I can't break the chains of this sorrow I can't break the chains of this sorrow Can't hold me now and my sanity At this bloody edge of the chasm Just say next to me When the demons are asleep, When the demons are asleep, we are as one I can't break the chains of this sorrow I can't break the chains of this sorrow Can't hold me now and my sanity At this bloody edge of the chasm Leaving me, entering you Will you master this feeling ? This mandatory weakness, In a frozen conscience. I'm the only witness of my execution I love when you have no defence I love when distress makes you cry my name Just stay next to me When the demons are asleep But every time I kill you, I am the one who dies In front of reality, the voices of the city Are no more there I meet my worst enemy : it is you So it is me 'cause we are as one Every belief, every fault Every lost corpse on the road Every cathodic shout Every glass which saw you drown Every girl who saw you strong Every reprieve before riot Every death in the family Every porno-love story Every heart surgery Leaving me, entering you Will you master this feeling ? This mandatory weakness, In a frozen conscience. I'm the only witness of my execution

Fear There's a shadow you can't hide, a dark omen on your town A personal wander but you can't hide Even in your pride, even in your dreams You were difficult to find but You were unchained by my side With your pathetic scheme as a weapon Call it innocence, I call it betrayal Hate burns in me like a bad omen that makes me fall To save my reality, someone must die... Prove me your love if you can... Share it, I share it, this dependency, this so cold addiction For it... eternally, fighting for the cross against oblivion Our powerful lights are fading to deep dark There's a nonsense executing my reason now... Charmed and disarmed... And my world that is loosing its face... Charmed and disarmed... There's no running away, no fucking escape No enlightned highways to delete your scheme Share it, I share it, this dependency, this so cold addiction For it... eternally, fighting for the cross against oblivion Fear There's a shadow you can't hide A dark omen on your town There's no more place for your fear Fear You were difficult to find But you were unchained by my side You were addict by your fear There's one thing I can't forget It's your scheme, it's your scheme The one that gave to my life a taste of pain There's one thing I can't forget It's your scheme, it's your scheme The one that gave to my life a taste of pain I guess you know the way No fucking escape It's your scheme, it's your scheme I like to thy waste To delete and to shame It's your scheme, it's your scheme I guess you know the way It's your scheme, it's your scheme To give me a just and It's your scheme, it's your scheme I guess you know the way... It's your scheme, it's your scheme I guess you know the way... Share it, I share it, this dependency, this so cold addiction For it... eternally, fighting for the cross against oblivion Hate burns in me like a bad omen that makes me fall To save my reality, someone must die... Hate burns in me like a bad omen that makes me fall Prove me your love if you can... You will hide to forget

Please wake up Will you wake up ? I don't have the words to explain Please stand up... Will you stand up ? It was a simple matter of lust Will you condemn my gesture ? Where could I find enough control ? Could you stop the curse ? Could you stop it ? I never had so many regrets To express... I carit feed your bliss... I carit freeze the bleed forever Is it a last breath you take before your death ? I carit fill the film... And skip this last scene for ever It is too late... for a second chance Addiction / Extinction Is it the endless cycle of passion ? Accusation / Self-destruction An alibi for acid rains ? Expectation / No evolution ? Creeping on a long road of delusions... What's the reason ? Is there a reason ? Was it to prove ourselves we were alive ? Long on the rails of desire... Waiting for an higher existence... I now carit look now at your ill body I carit feed your bliss... I carit freeze the bleed forever Is it a last breath you take before your death ? I carit fill the film... And skip this last scene for ever It is too late... for a second chance Safe death. Did you ever feel so well ? Safe death. Behind the curtains of hate Safe death. In these times of disgrace... Agony is deliverance Safe death. Did you ever feel so well ? Safe death. Behind the curtains of hate Safe death. In these times of disgrace... Agony is deliverance

It was an harmony of fates A perfect evidence : We were tightrope walkers above lives And suddenly the rules changed Do you know them ? No place for hazard And suddenly, the opponent changed How many risks did you take ? You carit follow me in decline Do you hear me "in decline" ? Trapped in myself I am the prey I carit listen to your lies, listen to your lies Trapped in yourself, the mentor became a martyr Its just an harmony of fates I must forget Am I courageous enough ? And suddenly the rules changed Do you know them ? No place for hazard And suddenly, the opponent changed How many risks did you take ? You can't break, this equilibrium, kill this harmony What am I supposed to search ? A shelter or an asylum ? You can't bury this evidence, its our living wage Who am I supposed to pray ? A courageous devil or a cowardly god ? Wait... I must have a break to realize... That the mercy of the sky... all the mercy of the sky Worit break... the velvet ropes fastering me to you... And worit heal these deep wounds digged by your words... I'll never regret. I could be silent forever I could hide the truth forever But I confess... that I'll soon destroy what remains of me... Never regret... this kind of feelings... can you hide it ? I spent so much time to try to convince myself I spent so much time to think that disillusions fade away... But I still feel the same... Nothing seems to change I still feel the same... convictions are away And suddenly the rules changed Do you know them ? No place for hazard And suddenly, the opponent changed How many risks did you take ? It was an harmony of fates A perfect evidence : We were tightrope walkers above lives

Something disappeared Can't you feel it in the air ? Is it a member of our family Or a rumour scattering outside ? It is certain I will fall Put my secrets on the floor... Just a fever, a painful fever But it turned to fire... And it's over now Than I pulled the trigger Just to find the answer The correct answer And it's over now How many faces did it take ? Was it sleeping by our side Here, in our house ? What was the name you gave to it ? Did you call it "premonition" or Did you call it "faith" ? It is certain I will fall Put my secrets on the floor Then spend an entire life to remember That you left me on the floor... Just a fever, a painful fever But it turned to fire... And it's over now Than I pulled the trigger Just to find the answer The correct answer And it's over now It's over now Each day a mistake A step behind to your favour The ways that I found were Paths to the night Can golden lures of your radiance Be washed by your blood ? You turn my truth by your lie You turn my truth by your lie Can golden lures of your radiance Be washed by your blood ? Just take the cross tight Against you chest And smell the air of its absence Just take a last merciful look at me In the name of your father Do you see a soul in this ill body ? Just a fever, a painful fever But it turned to fire... And it's over now Than I pulled the trigger Just to find the answer The correct answer And it's over now

Tout allait bien avant le sel, désormais, La nuit change de couleur Elle prend nos corps à coeur Leur fait miser le peu qu'il reste de nous Elle joue l'affront, nous pousse à l'action Tout allait bien avant que l'ombre ne s'élève Qu'elle dépose sur tes lèvres un sourire lascif et entendu. Tout allait bien avant tout ce que j'ai vu Ma complice fiévreuse s'étend là, cyprine aux lèvres Tant que l'amour n'y est pas Ma complice s'éprend de toi Parce que la mort n'attend pas Ma complice s'immisce entre nous, évincée Par une nuit de sel et blanchie de lune Le loup est là, entre ses cuisses Palpitantes ses lèvres, humide son coeur Rien ne sera plus comme avant Rien ne sera plus comme avant Rien ne sera plus comme avant Rien ne sera plus comme avant Rien ne sera plus comme avant Au fond, il n'y a déjà plus rien ! Sarah s'allonge sur le sol, murmure une dernière fois Le nom de l'ennemi et supplie celle, Lascive qui l'a laissés se perdre là Elle comprend alors le goût du sel, reprend une part d'envie, Juste assez pour crier dans le sens du vide : "Comment m'as tu laissé crever ainsi ?" Et toi, comment m'as tu trahi ? Ma complice à son tour joue l'affront, passe à l'action : Soeur de sang, dessus, dessous, sait ce qu'il en est De tout : les nuits de vie venues, feindre l' ennui. Question d'envie de mort, rien de tout ce qui est là Ne le sera encore, il n'est pas de mille fois sans lois Elle ne laissera dès lors nul doute au fond du calice Tout au fond du calice L'étreinte achevée, l'esprit éreinté, elle s'apprête A courir le long des corridors, ramper dans Les conduits et alors, glisser entre les rotors... Toute conscience dehors Tout a commencé sur le parcours où Nos espoirs s'épuisent, puis se perdent Tout a commencé sûrerment le jour où L'argile de l'ennui s'est figée en moi Que vas-tu laisser dans les pales des rotors Que vas-tu laisser là ? Tu sens le regard dont le sens t'appartient Que vas-tu laisser dans les pales des rotors Que vas-tu laisser là ? Tu sens le regard qui ne changera rien

Stay calm for a while. The reunion has just begun I can now find outside what is still consuming me frim inside : There's a part of me waiting for a promise Can I now find inside the strength enough to master outside ? This part of me guiding me to nowhere ? La vita senza te, la vita senza te... Will save my world Dicami perché Let me close your eyes, let me close your eyes... And change all that comes behind... behind... Madness is waiting for me inside With its velvet arguments from outside An immaterial heroïn ? Or your metamorphose ? It gave me a weapon from outside And covered my wounded mind with a sigh I'm a child who found a knife Ready to revenge the lost It's me. It's me You never knew me so fragile... It's me, can't you see ? You never worried so much For me, for me and the sanity of my thoughts It's me. It's me, can't you remember ? La vita senza te, la vita senza te... Will save my world Dicami perché Let me close your eyes, let me close your eyes... And change all that comes behind... behind...

Hold on my breath my resonance The sun was really be (...) Be sure it won't be the same... Another world will arise... All these x-rated emotions All the blood on my hands did don't make me change Look at the tears On my cheeks The tears on my cheeks Are from the child who Used to cry in your arms All innocent tears Are fallen They won't delay My curse this time All innocent tears Are fallen They won't delay My curse this time La vita senza te, la vita senza te... Will save my world Dicami perché Let me close your eyes, let me close your eyes... And change all that comes behind... behind...

Here we are, back on our first steps where expectations fall Here we are, waiting for a sign of mankind A human existence proof to decide to carry on... or not... By my side... you can't seek an answer now Oh, by my side... but further each second now Is there a possible u-turn, a path to come back in their world ? To feel your joy again, instead of this pain... You walked during hours, vomiting your mistakes on each of your steps Is there a possible u-turn, a path to come back, not on your knees ? Because you can't wait... because you can't count anymore The dead people that you did met on the road Fate is a burden... from your birth to the grave Without you I can't break the distances of truth anymore I'm a disarmed warrior a clandestine passenger on the rails of perdition Without you I can pretend I am alive anymore I can't give to the light another shape anymore A respite just another day to find an exit Can't you give it to me ? Hear this calling ! Hear the calling ! Just a rest, just another break to slow its arrival Can you feel it's coming ? Hear this calling ! Hear this calling ! By my side... you can't seek an answer now Oh, by my side... but further each hour now But further each hour now But further each hour now A respite just another day to find an exit Can't you give it to me ? Hear this calling ! Hear the calling ! Just a rest, just another break to slow its arrival Can you feel it's coming ? Hear this calling ! Hear this calling ! Here we are, back on the first steps of our days Here you are... in a funeral dress Here we are, back on the first steps of our days Here I am to take you back... to take you back... in my fight... A respite just another day to find an exit Can't you give it to me ? Hear this calling ! Hear the calling ! Just a rest, just another break to slow its arrival Can you feel it's coming ? Hear this calling ! Hear this calling ! To take you back... to take you back... in my fight...
