Listen to me
Listen to the trees,
If you can hear them
You’ll see how generous they are.
They gave you the strength you need,
The peace you’re searching for,
The energy to feed,
Your soul and your core.
Listen to me,
Listen to the trees,
Gathered among your folks,
Breathing the same smoke.
Be as the forest,
Connected to your roots,
You don’t need much,
The treasure is in your mind.
Don’t let anyone tell you, what is good for you,
Don’t let anyone bring you down…
The world is offering you a place,
You just have to respect it,
The world is offering you a chance,
Be aware of it.
Listen to me
Listen to the oceans,
If you can hear them
You’ll see how powerful they are.
They gave you the strength you need,
The peace you’re searching for,
The energy to feed,
Your soul and your core.
Listen to me
Listen to the oceans,
Our creator is the same
The one who turns dark into light.
Be as the waves,
Between calm and violence
Depending on the moment
You’d be strong when a storm comes.
Don’t let anyone tell you what is good for you, Don’t let anyone bring you down…
The world is offering you a place,
You just have to respect it,
The world is offering you a chance, Be aware of it.
The prophecy tells,
That there are people coming,
Bringing blood and sadness,
To our land.
Don’t let this fact,
Turn your love in fear,
Don’t let this fact,
Turn your love in fear,
Be prepared,
To face it as a man.
As a man, who stand, stand, stand
Listen to me
Listen to the mountains
If you hearing them,
You’ll see how wise they are.
Let them inspire your soul,
See how they touch the sky,
That’s just because they took the time, To build their foundation.
Don’t let anyone tell you what is good for you, Don’t let anyone bring you down…
The world is offering you a place,
You just have to respect it,
The world is offering you a chance, Be aware of it.
You just have to
You just have to
You just have to
Respect it
Respect

Above the Clouds

Step by step
In the carmine dust
Rises the haze
That twirls my world.
A cantaloupe scent
Is swirling around my,
Sensory perceptions.
A sweltering ascent
Is slowly distorting,
My inner impressions
How could I ever forget
Two diamonds dancing across the crowd My sight gets blurred,
While my heart floats above the clouds
Second by second
You get closer
Second by second
I get bleaker
Thoughts hustle,
In my head
Should I take
That first step ?
Should I ?
I step forward, you go far from me, I step forward, you go far from me, You step forward, I go far from you. You step forward, I go far from you. You step forward, I go far from you. You step forward, I go far from you. We step in the same,
We step in the same…
A cantaloupe scent
Is swirling around my,
Sensory perceptions.
A sweltering ascent
Is slowly distorting,
My inner impressions
How could I ever forget
Two diamonds dancing across the crowd My sight gets blurred,
While my heart floats above the clouds
Second by second
You get closer
Second by second
I get bleaker
Thoughts hustle,
In my head
Are you taking
That first step ?
Are you ?
I step forward, you go far from me, I step forward, you go far from me, You step forward, I go far from you. You step forward, I go far from you. You step forward, I go far from you. You step forward, I go far from you. We step in the same
We step in the same…
A cantaloupe scent
Is swirling around my,
Sensory perceptions.
A sweltering ascent
Is slowly distorting,
My inner impressions
How could I ever forget
Two diamonds dancing across the crowd My sight gets blurred,
While my heart floats above the clouds
My feet are moving
Even if I can’t step forward
My feet, my heart, my feet, my feet..
Across the crowd, finding islands Through the cloud, reaching diamonds
Across the crowd, finding islands Through the cloud, reaching diamonds
We both know that we found
A soul mate in each other…
If you could only promise you will never go, If you could just stay
We’ll be dancing love forever,
We’ll be sharing joy together.
A cantaloupe scent
Is swirling around my,
Sensory perceptions.
A sweltering ascent
Is slowly distorting,
My inner impressions
Step by step
In the carmine dust
Rises the haze
That twirls my world.
If you could only promise you will never go, If you could just stay

They told me to stay,
Don’t move from this place,
But this is not my faith…
They told me to stay,
Don’t move from this place,
But this is not my faith,
I will find my way.
Living in a dark side of my world,
Now I can see the light,
At the end of this corridor,
I’m ready to fight.
I know it won’t be easy,
But I told you I’m ready,
So come with me baby,
We’re gonna break free.
I’m running, fast,
Followed by my past,
I’m running running running,
Followed by my past.
You might think I too weak,
But you don’t know,
Mountains should have fear,
I’ll raise them all !!
I’m running, fast,
Followed by my past,
I’m running running running,
Followed by my past.
They told me to stay,
Don’t move from this place,
But it wasn’t my faith…
They told me to stay,
Don’t move from this place,
But it wasn’t my faith,
I have found my way.
You’re still thinking that I‘m weak, But don’t you see,
I’m at this mountain’s peak,
Freedom in my whole body.

Some say we can’t escape the chaos, But I’m sure we can go through it In a world full of clouds,
I’m still hoping to see the bright blue sky.
You wake up in the morning,
Ready for your blue routine,
Here’s the first thing you do,
You take your phone to watch the news.
You see how fucked up is Gaïa, How temperatures are getting higher And the poor Antarctica,
With tons of ice melting each year.
That’s not a good way to start your day, While you’re eating your breakfast,
You see how ill the country is
And its doctors, concealed.
Do not let the fear,
Poison your atmosphere.
Nations are sick,
Doesn’t mean your heart needs to be. No it won’t !
In a word full of clouds,
I’m still hoping to see the bright blue sky.
You’ve heard about cruel intensive farming, About Amazon forests burning,
And terrorist attacks,
You understand all these facts,
So you’re fucking scared.
Yes we live in a planet that’s got problems, Yes we’ve created some of them,
But we are just pawns in a larger game, Blind slaves in a wasted society.
We cannot take upon our shoulders,
All the misery of the world
You can still bring changes at your level That’s the way to be a respectable human being.
Don’t worry
Everything will be okay,
Don’t worry
Everything will be okay.
See how it’s hard,
To convince a child,
That there’re still lights hiding,
While everything is going to pieces.
What should we say,
To children,
That it’s too late,
Even if they keep on trying
They won’t change a damn thing,
That they should find their reason for living, So that they won't see the disaster’s coming. That’s it ?
Is that really the message we send ?
No !
We need to spread hope, cause there is, And walk together ,
Even if we are facing…
More deaths, more disease,
We need to fix it,
And together we can do it with…
More actions, more union.
Even if we don’t have the same color,
The same age, religion or convictions,
We have to act together,
And take our future back.
Do not let the fear,
Poison your atmosphere.
Nations are sick,
Doesn’t mean your heart needs to be.
No it won’t !
You’ve heard about cruel intensive farming, About Amazon forests burning,
And terrorist attacks,
And that’s all the reasons why
The march begins !
The world I’m dreaming of,
Is a world we’ll be proud of,
Where the next generation can breathe, eat and love,
Without seeing us as demons,
As weak passive persons,
Who, facing climate disasters,
Didn’t move a finger
Even if we don’t have the same color,
The same age, religion or convictions,
We have to act together,
And take our future back.
Do not let the fear,
Poison your atmosphere.
Nations are sick,
Doesn’t mean your heart needs to be,
No it won’t !

Je te frapperai sans colère
Et sans haine,
Comme un boucher !
Comme Moïse le rocher,
Et je ferai de ta paupière,
Pour abreuver mon Saharah,
Jaillir les eaux de la souffrance ; Je te frapperai sans colère
Et sans haine,
Comme un boucher !
Comme Moïse le rocher,
Et je ferai de ta paupière,
Pour abreuver mon Saharah,
Jaillir les eaux de la souffrance ;
Mon désir gonflé d’espérance Sur tes pleurs salés nagera
Comme un vaisseau qui prend le large,
Et dans mon cœur qu’ils soûleront Tes chers sanglots retentiront
Comme un tambour qui bat la charge !
Elle est dans ma voix, la criarde ! C’est tout mon sang, ce poison noir ! Elle est dans ma voix, la criarde ! Je suis le sinistre miroir
Où la mégère se regarde.
Je ferai de ta paupière,
Pour abreuver mon Saharah, Jaillir les eaux de la souffrance ;
Ne suis-je pas un faux accord Dans la divine symphonie,
Grâce à la vorace Ironie
Qui me secoue et qui me mord ?
Elle est dans ma voix, la criarde ! C’est tout mon sang, ce poison noir ! Elle est dans ma voix, la criarde ! Je suis le sinistre miroir
Où la mégère se regarde.
Je suis la plaie et le couteau ! Je suis le soufflet et la joue !
Je suis les membres et la roue, Et la victime et le bourreau !
Je suis de mon cœur le vampire,
Un de ces grands abandonnés
Au rire éternel condamnés,
Et qui ne peuvent plus sourire !

Upon the Shore

When you are surrounded by fear, Petrified by your own feelings,
You became a prisoner of your past, A slave of the devil,
Unchained in a constant nightmare.
You can’t move,
You can’t think.
Keep calm
And breath slowly
Keep your head up
Away from the floor.
You can think,
You can Move.
Wake up ! Move on !
Time has come
To gather your strength !
Keep up ! Don’t drown !
Find some folks
And be ready to wipe out,
The millstone around our neck.
You have to be ready for the battle coming Settle it in your own mind,
You got to hurry now !
Cause the world is not waiting,
But you can’t stop yourself from being blind, You got to hurry now !
The devil is controlling your mind, You can feel the pain deep down, The devil is controlling your head,
Time to let the diamond in your heart, Light up again.
Light up again.
Wake up ! Move on !
Time has come
To gather your strength !
Keep up ! Don’t drown !
Find some folks
And be ready to wipe out,
The millstone around our neck.
You have to be ready for the battle coming Settle it in your own mind,
You’ve got to hurry now !
Cause the world is not waiting,
But you can’t stop yourself from being blind, You’ve got to hurry now !
The devil is controlling your mind, You can feel the pain deep down, The devil is controlling your head,
Time to let the diamond in your heart, Light up again.
Light up again.
Wake up ! Move on !
Time has come
To gather your strength !
Keep up ! Don’t drown !
Find some folks
And be ready to wipe out,
The millstone around our neck.
When you are surrounded by fear, Petrify by your own feelings,
You became a prisoner of your past, A slave of the devil,
Unchained in a constant nightmare.
Keep calm
And breath slowly
Best way to cover up
What’s coming
Upon the shore
You’re starting not to be bling anymore You’d be ready for the battle coming You got to hurry now !!!
Upon the shore the battle’s coming

D’you remember this old time,
When the air was clean,
And trees were green,
When we were gathered,
With mother nature,
And with each other.
D’you remember,
In your ancestors’ memory,
Still living in your soul,
The feelings of being free ?
Together,
Around the fire of life,
With this same old melody,
Awaking your heart.
Can you hear it ?
The sound of peace,
The sound of love.
The sound of brotherhood,
Let it guide you.
The same old melody,
Awaking your heart.
The same old melody,
Awaking your heart.
The same old celebration,
Of love.
Our ancient people used to say,
That if a dark and cold night comes,
You should listen to the sound of the unicorn, It will teach you how to flee.
Cause when you are in peace, happy,
When you can’t feel any fear or anger
That’s just when the badness is spreading its darkness.
It’s hiding quietly,
Ready to destroy
Human unity.
Men covered with fears,
Which became… violence.
Men who are so selfish,
That they don’t see,
They don’t see
The planet’s mistreatment
Deaths increase.
They just see,
They just see,
Their business project achievement. But people are not fools !!
They are now taking to the streets, Hoping, standing, resisting.
Standing for the future,
To be purer,
Standing to leave cleaner
This world full of clouds.
Violence in the pavement…
People dying,
Can’t see anything,
Just fear and burst,
Just smoke and dust.
No other choice
Than to keep on,
Terror,
Anger,
Starvation,
Chaos.
Still some survivors,
Some fighters,
Standing,
Hoping,
Resisting.
Resisting for the future,
To be purer,
Resisting for their chains,
To be destroyed.
They can find the power to break it all with…
The same old melody,
Awaking their heart.
The same old celebration,
Of life.
The same old celebration,
Of love.
Mikki is standing,
She’s sweating, short of breath,
With shaking legs.
Cities are empty,
She knows changes happen now, So she won’t fail out.
She’ll stand till the end.
She’s seen people she loved dying, ‘Cause they believed,
Her beloved is covered by dust,
He fell in a ditch.
You can’t see nothing but fear,
Through a bloody haze.
She’ll never forget why he died.
‘Cause there’s a war to win.
With the last survivors,
They are almost there.
And with the last rebels,
They’ll keep on fighting.
She’s seen people she loved dying, ‘Cause they believed,
Her mother is covered by blood,
She fell in the mud.
You can’t see nothing but fear,
Through a bloody haze. x2
She’ll never forget why she died.
‘Cause there’s a war to win.
With the last survivors,
They are almost there.
And with the last rebels,
They’ll keep on fighting.
A world of
Repression
Misinformation
With no
Celebration
Emotion
Creation
Time for
Demission
Recognition
Never power off
Our determination.
Determination.
Determination
Determination
Determination
A world of
Repression
Misinformation
With no
Celebration
Emotion
Creation
Time for demission
Mikki was surviving,
But life was too hard to bear.
She can’t stop hearing,
The melody of her dreams, The sound of peace is just near, The sound of love is almost real…
On the other side of the world, Was another nation who,
From their small land,
Heard their neighbors.
She remembered this old time, When the air was clean,
And trees were green,
When we were gathered,
With mother nature,
And with each other.
She remembered,
In her ancestors’ memory, Still living in her soul,
The feelings of being free !
Together,
Around the fire of life,
With this same old melody, Awaking their heart.
Maybe this sound of freedom, This sound of brotherhood, Is not that far,
Is not vanished,
Is just here,
Hiding under the dust…
But violence raised,
As nobody came.
Her hope seemed to evaporate, And disappeared in the clutter. Her hope seemed to evaporate.
She was sinking,
In the depths of despair, She was sinking,
In a cold nightmare.
But humanity was stronger, Than the quest for power.
In a world full of hope.
With so much to rebuilt,
In a world full of hope,
In a world, in world, in a world, Full of hope, full of hope.
