lyrics

« I am.... I am... I am... I am... »

Max Enix:
I wake up this morning
Events scrolling in my mind
Questions I ask myself all the time
The existence of human kind
In my bed, still lying
I get up to my thoughts, rumbling

Max Enix:
In the hallway, I'm wandering
The face in the mirror seems aging
From the work and the breaking
Through the window, the sunrays piercing
« Or at least trying... »

Mahdi Khemakhem:
In this fake world
Appearance is the king
Shootdown your inner voice
Just look fresh and clean
And keep that face smiling
There's a need

Together: for a sign and a waiting

Chorus:
Mahdi Khemakhem: Emotion’s labyrinth Are haunting me « all day »
Max Enix: The meaning is still far away... You feel the most alive
Mahdi Khemakhem: When I'm bound to die Emotions in storm
Since the day I was born
Max Enix: And then on...
And until you die
It will stick to your skin
Together: A miracle of being Alive

« I see... I see... I see... I see... (echo) »

Mahdi Khemakhem:
Escape at all cost
But there's still a price to pay
Our resources are thin
And so thick is our skin
So unique each part can be
But The whole thing is fragile
No matter the time
Since Life is a curved line

Max Enix:
I'm here and you're there... Mirrors everywhere
The reflection is strange
Just enough to derange My sleep...
To the sounds of footsteps

Mahdi Khemakhem:
The gleam in your stares
Make us all look alike
When we wake from a crash Beware...
Tears of sadness and joys intertwined

Together: Flowing from everywhere...

Chorus:
Mahdi Khemakhem: Emotion’s labyrinth Are haunting me « all day »
Max Enix: The meaning is still far away... You feel the most alive
Mahdi Khemakhem: When I'm bound to die Emotions in storm
Since the day I was born
Max Enix: And then on...
And until you die
It will stick to your skin
Together: A miracle of being Alive

Elise Wachbar:
On our lips as inside the brain
Our features blend outside again
Waters flowing out of our skin
From the pores, evaporating
On dangerous ground, your feet are freezing
External events rise, controlling

« The use of bones and limbs and skin
Reproduction can't be the only meaning
While our thoughts and souls are forging
The weak revealed on our nerve endings »

Max Enix:
Our teeth will fall with age or kicking
Like withered flowers or... burnt victims
Coagulation, petrifying
The liquid life that flows
Within

« Far inside
I draw from my resource
The meanders of our souls Connected to all
Invisible world behind Vivid although it hides
In cortexes of ours »

Max Enix:
Creations of the mind
A color and a verse
An image and a pulse
That's sent beyond this curse
Back to the Universe

« I’m an unhinged puppet That desperingly inarticulate »

Max Enix:
In directions unknown
The river that has flown
Inside the veins of mine
Red as the darkest wine

Max Enix: The ground under my feet

Elise wachbar: The sweat that pearls on me
Max Enix: Evolution was meant to be
Elise wachbar: From dawns of time to you...
Max Enix and Elise Wachbar: and Me

« And we are just a passage
The one of our age
I'll stop the time
For you to see
Get out of line
Gradually
Condition's fine
For my story
And in a distant dimension
Far from this condition
We may evolve
Find ways to be Perspectives open
For those who see
But is it only
possible now?
With demons screaming from every sides
By dint of learning
By dint of falling Lesson in a living form of believing
I know you're fighting
You've always been Against the monsters you hold within
Lost in the abyss
The youth will be
Forbidden to bliss
As you will see
But it has always been so
Behind light there's a shadow
If appearance's a goal

Our fate shall be a fall With silhouettes deformed
Even the soul transformed »

Mahdi Khemakhem:
Broken facades and mirrors
Broken shapes and valours
You fear there's nowhere to go now
But deep inside you hear a vow
It's time once and for all
To be a slave, to be a slave no more

« As life is flashing back
A light darker than black Obscurity that lacks
This fundamental spark
The Cosmos shall provide
The places where we hide
With strenght that is renewed
Apathy we refuse
Our honour is at stake
The meaning of life is there for you to take »

Chorus:
Mahdi Khemakhem: Emotion’s labyrinth Are haunting me « all day »
Max Enix: The meaning is still far away... You feel the most alive
Mahdi Khemakhem: When I'm bound to die Emotions in storm
Since the day I was born
Max Enix: And then on...
And until you die
It will stick to your skin
Together: A miracle of being Alive

Max Enix:
Is this a paradise?
Is infinity finite?
A miracle of Nature
Boundless and multicoloured
Emotions are transformed
New entities are formed

« Watch the smile that now appears
Innocent souls travel to meet
On this unbreakable summit »

Max Enix:
Can you hear the sound?
Can you feel the vibes?
Can you know the transformation?
Recognize a face that shines?
Behold...
Together: The Signs

« Emotions are there to overcome
The eyes open when a love is born
Senses to heal
Moments to dream
Connect and change
Think of our pains
Moments to leave
Moments to live
Moments to greave
Moments to breathe
Your choice is yours Here is your force »
« Still conscious of this world?
Our bodies shall return
Forever, ever and ever
Back to this good old Earth »

Max Enix:
Morning light, and we're gathered again
The spring reign is soon to begin
Our skins, of different colours
Shine in an fragile splendour
In this ocean of men
Softness is back again
Is it the end of pain?
At least we smile again

« Feet buried in the sand
Waves provide soft caress
It's time to heal and bless
The ones caught in distress
To love in consciousness
Purpose of existence
Now love in all its forms Reinstaured as the norm »

Elise wachbar:
There's no more time to waste
After the war has raged
We have died every day
Now end the disarray

« We don't want this anymore »
Our instincts cannot take control
Let's take it back, let's make it grow »

Max Enix:
The love that's burns inside us all
Compassion is the way
For those who are led astray
And for the years to come
We pray to overcome

« The ways of selfishness
That led us to our death »

Mahdi Khemakhem:
Values are to rise
Consciousness is the path
Consciousness is the path (x 3)

« Journeys
Journeys
Shall take very far
The door is still ajar »

Max Enix:
The wind blows in my ears
There's nothing left to fear
Time passes and I sigh
The world biding its time

Max Enix:
Drawing lines in the sand
Like on the palms of hands
Destiny I construct
Symphony I conduct

« 50 years have passed...
Ethan is 85 now.
Throughout his life, he has seen all: the beauty, the wild, the horror, the sublime, the intimate, the fragile...
Near the porch of his ranch, he tries to rest, watching his horses run... His thoughts confused.
He can't help but think of this announcement, posted everywhere:
"The storm of the century is coming"
Some say it announces the arrival of some meteorite... But who knows?..."Are we to be finally destroyed? Are we the new dinosaurs?..." A bitter laugh escapes him...
Anyway, he doesn't fear death anymore... he's ready, and has been for a long time now...
But not everyone is... for sure... »
