lyrics

Awaken now
Fair stolen child
To the cold uncaring kiss of night
The world you’ve known
That warm veil of smiles
Will not serve you in these passage rites
See them – withered
By time and gravity
Haggard figures
Plagued by senility
Hear them – weeping
So restless in their sleep
All are shrieking
Of death’s anxiety

Their voices call you to the service of sleep
Their vices catch you in the webs they weave
The form of Mother clings
Embraces tempt you to never leave
But Father pulls you through –
Through the night, unto sacred light

These bonds must break
Through the cold uncaring night
The world you’ve known
That veil of lies
Will not serve you in these passage rites

You can’t go home again
You can’t go home
You can’t go home again
Now your life begins

Ce disque me rappelle les Rage against the machine, fatalement. Mais la musique me plaît davantage, car plus hardcore. Il y a du riff pour des mois. gregory duveau
