Prisonnier de l'inutile [English translation]

We have walked along the tracks - the tracks

Some of us have fallen

And what happened to the rest? - to the rest

We are the prisoners of futility

Behind us, countries and villages

Vanishing under wild ivy

Where only one dog perhaps survives - survives

We are the prisoners of futility

We are the prisoners of the links binding us

And our heart suffers, it's like a stain

Something that grows and hides itself

We are the prisoners of the links binding us

A few crosses were put up along the way - the way

At which the torturers point fingers

Saying "Of the other world what is left?" - what is left

We are the prisoners of futility

Beyond us, the sky is lead - sky is lead

Is there a God, someone, we call him

He forgot us, how could he? - how could he

We are the prisoners of futility

We are the prisoners of the links binding us

And our heart suffers, it's like a stain

Something that grows and hides itself

We are the prisoners of the links binding us

Prisoners of futility, prisoners, prisoners
