L'avenir est un long passé [English translation]

A black pupil surrounded by white. A tired face aim on a lieutenant. The order will be given in a few.

Second assault of the day and Marcel wait.

he placed at the end his gun a bayonet to fight against a submachine gun calibre 12.7. Near his trench, placed at 20 or 30 meters, butcher's war, we're in 1917.

So much days he's here ! Seing soul falling. So much days already spent on the Chemin Des Dames. Marcel feel that the end is near. Deep in his trench, his hands shaking. The smell of the death is felt, there'll be no body fight, he felt he's near to death. How a man can accept to go to the fight ? When he feel deep inside him he will not come back. Is man an animal ? In this time the evil is already lance-corporal. The hand of the lieurenant slowly rise to the sky.g What comes next, futur is a long past.

A black pupil surrounded by white. A polished face, his look is terrifying. Put a few step from here, Germans.

1944 Jean-Marc is a resistant.

His mission was to blow up a railway. His not an action man become a battlemaster.

After the cyclone which hit his mom and dad of a yellow cross, an idea directly comes from hell.

So many years passed running away. So many days devoted to fight antisemitism. Jean-Marc know there is nothing left. The cable he placed to blow up the train is to short. Death arises, but he has no remorse, how to define it ? It is the nature of the man who drove him to be like that. Sacrifice himself for an idea, I think we can't resist this. Evil is now general, all the hidden forces of the evil age of Germany. Off the train approaches and can distinguish the smoke. What comes next, futur is a long past.

A black pupil surrounded by white.It's what I can see know in front of the mirror. I'm just waking up, a few minutes away.

It's hard to say what I'm feeling inside. After the night I've just past, hard has been the awaking. To everything I could think of before falling asleep. To all these idea which caused me troubles. Reality is all these pictures of hate.

So many years passed trying to forget. So many days cumulative and slowly he settled down. Is everything start again, did we lost our mind because I've seen the evil slowly settle in without moral.

Be on TV for it become normal. Everytime with a new name. After Hilter's name I've heard the front's name.

What if futur is a long past, I'm asking you now what do you think ? Like Marcel and Jean-Marc is my life determined by fate ? What comes next, is futur a long past ?

I'm asking you what do you think. Will I see someday evil in the Elysée ? Is France going to boggeg down ? Is futur a long past?
