Song: 10 - Fainted Blue Ornaments
Lyrics
The acid reflux in my throat hasn't appeased my taste for bitter blondes
I've twisted so many necks and now their souls daily blind my mind
Your presence, I took for granted
I deceived your confidence
I'll never achieve emotional numbness,
Nor will I enjoy a single peaceful rest
Your presence, I took for granted
I deceived your confidence
Your angelic hand touches my venomous spine
through overwhelming nightmares
I now stand under this Damocles dagger
I'll kill again to lighten apathy towards me
The amazing brightness that makes you so precious
and exceptional tears me apart
I need your presence but my shadow is tarnishing your radiance
I feel remorse but unfortunate events
make my world uglier this morning
Repentance hurts but not enough
Let's start again tonight

Lyrics
Dun gouffre inassouvissable, son panthéon
La facette de sa quête, son opposition
Du haut de son morbide trône dextravagance
Exploitant et fusionnant la véhémence
Incommensurable appétit
Indomptable être dépéri
Ancré dans la prédation
Emporté dans la dépravation
Du haut de sa vanité
À la vitesse de sa montée
Il sombra dans la cupidité
Survolant les acres dobsolescence
Hantant les seuils dinnocence
Puisant lâme dans laffaiblissement, traîné par les extirpeurs
Physiquement traité devant limmonde, lexhumation dite en torpeur
Inculqué à la quête du festin propice
À lassaut des chemins, propulsé au fond du précipice
Enfermé dans linsanité jen fus enclin à basculer
Déchiqueté et éparpillé, jen fus reconstitué
Lhypotésance de lâme
Linassouvissable soif du manque, le perforant
Linertie innondante linfinitésimalité de sa masse hideuse
Catalysant linfection de sa faim
La faisant grandir de jour en jour
Gloutonnerie étant devenue monnaie courante
Gloutonnerie étant devenue fontaine de jouvence
Gula sappropria larborescence de cette existence
Puis Gula se retrouva devant le trépas et devant sa fin se leva
Implorant sa mort par lingérence de son confort
Il en démontra que lexcentricité de sa panse
Combattant le feu par le feu
Son impitoyable règne, je le pourfendrai
Sa gargantuesque injustice, je la détruirai

Dun gouffre, inassouvissable
Atteingnant la cime quen extirpant linsaisissable
Dans les panthéons de la possession
Sen gavant de lopposition
Du haut de son morbide trône dextravagance
Fusionnant et exploitant la véhémence
Incommensurable appétit
Indomptable être dépérit
Ancré dans la prédation
Emporté dans la dépravation
Du haut de sa vanité
À la vitesse de sa montée, il sombrera dans la cupidité
