Ataraxie Project X 8. From Agony to Eternity Le désespoir me transperce et m'envahit, Je suis las de cette misérable existence, Ces souffrances tant subies me donnent envie de vomir Pessimism is the eternal flames (sic) that shines in my eyes, Nothingness is the place I want to reach until now The anguish that tortures me gives the will to end this life somehow Who will help me to free my soul from my body? Finally, angels of death come to me and sweep away my soul During this long trip of eternity I remember my last memories My worst memories, I remind (sic) them now At the entrance of this new world I wonder if my suffering will cease So anxiously I open the gates and behold the place of my eternal rest This will be my last trip to eternity 9. À jamais Some memories are so deeply printed in my brain That they have never ceased to exist I would rather have left all of them at burials And then consider a less destined dire fate I was suddenly forsaken, weaned and excruciated (sic) And couldn't get that feeling out of me I had put my trust in them... I should have learnt (sic) earlier life In order to be warned about the other side of the coin I should have lived all these memorable and addictive moments From a more distant view Just because no lesson will ever tell you How to avoid these sharp glass-scraps drilled So hurt yourself, fall into the grave Buried by your fellow ones and re-emerge stronger But don't think a single instant That you were built up better than your challenged neighbour Your creator has followed the same recipes Engraved on the stonework of rotten ideals Written by a congregation of idealists Believing that moral order will ever remain on earth And convinced that hell is a place isolated from earth Where only evil dead men are thrown Our curse is here and every human Can experience its burning flames at every single moment So look behind you, always mistrust people around you And put barriers wherever you have to Don't hesitate to spit at theirs (sic) faces when required Or ignore them like squashed dead animals But never forget to watch from the distance And never complain about your unfair misery A jamais, nous serons condamnés à emprunter Ce chemin tourmenté d'amères déceptions Ces leçons de vie ne feront que nourir L'eau létale qui abreuve notre ineffable aversion Et cette conscience béante alimentant Les bons sentiments solidement suspendus à l'abîme Damnés, exilés ou graciés, Non prières ne nous ouvriront aucune porte vers les cimes
