Tant le ciel était sombre [English translation]

I was so dark that

I thought it was raining bombs

And I saw the columns

Of the army of shadows

Since the calm was so white

The banner was red with blood

And the swan

song of a bloody...

The sky was so low

I could no longer see

My feet my steps

My outfit

Buried under heaps of hearsay

Dearest love, dearest step-family

Bela Lugosi, beautiful meal

Beautiful example of perfect contempt, yes

The sky was so dark that

I never saw

The house so full1

It's got it up to here2

Since the sky was its own shadow

The sky was so pale that

Kiravi wine, Château Eyquem3

It was the same

Abraham's carts

In the garden of Eden, are staying watchful

The sky was so dark that

Instead of the Mona Lisa

They took The Scream

I heard it in a chest

Which rumbles and groans

The sky was such an abyss

It smells like crap

But suffering never more

Since the sky, since the sky suffocates us

It's the nerves giving away

It's Sunday giving us a break...

The usher told me

The usher told me

Since the sky was so dark

Since the sky was so dark

Since the sky was so dark

Since the sky was so dark

Speak to me

Look at me

Get up

There will be

Other beginning

Other glances

A little hope

In the blackest night

The sky was so dark that

I even missed

The end of the world

And the doves on fire

On the debris

The sky was so empty that

Bittersweet life

Had an acidic taste

In the sky, like a 6th sense

Like a mysterious force

The sky was so evil that

In the oval office, she took in

Eight columns on the front page

Since the sky was so dirty

The sky was so low that

I believed she was me

And the tears were

Tears of joy...

In the beginning

We were big liars

But we had no mentors

Fedayeen

I read it in the women's

Magazines

I figured

That we were already dreaming of somewhere else

That there were a thousand sweet scents

Appetite came from famine

The sky ruined us so much that

We were but spite

And ennui

The sky did so

The sky did decimated us so

The sky ruined us so much that

We were but spite

And ennui

Since the sky

Since the sky hands us the murder weapon4

It's the lipstick that stains

You have drunken the blood of cowards

A final vow5

And you take the plank from the cows

Old man!

It's better, it's better

It's beautiful, it's much, much, much better

The sky was so dark

The sky was so dark

The sky was so dark

The sky was so dark

The sky was so dark

The sky was so dark

The sky was so dark
