lyrics

Avance ! Rejoins le sommet de la montagne
Regarde de là-haut ces milliers de lumières
Qui entravent la nuit, qui l’empêchent d’émerger
Et de pénétrer nos cœurs

Avance ! Redescends auprès du troupeau
Loup ou brebis, quelle différence?
Parmi les flots de l’indifférence
Qui peut faire résistance?

Avance ! Affronte l’inertie des cités
Surpeuplées,
Suralimentées
Goinfrées jusqu’à cécité

Avance! Délaisse enfin les villes assiégées
Les forêts décharnées,
Les campagnes médicamentées
Le sol est malade et la route est minée

Marche en avant ! Rejeton de la modernité
Parmi les fantômes, les cadavres, les têtes coupées
Fais ta place auprès de la mort
Donne sans crainte ton obole au passeur

Laisse couler !
Les flots de l’enfer t’emporteront
Sur terre comme au ciel
Mort ou vivant, il n’y a rien à espérer

I will not say my usual of who & what they are - everybody knows Mgla! I should have bought this years ago but I missed it because - yes... I really am that useless :| This is a totally epic & classic album that I cannot get enough of & has very few equals, except maybe their previous! Mgla are in a class of their own & they demonstrate this here once again in each & every song! Highly recommended!!! bmurator
