C-ROM LYRICS

1. Anger Of The Gods

He is the Establishment
The unique guardian of the values
Whoever dares defy the Almighty
Shall experience His ire

The nature of things has been broken
Someone defied the Almighty
Disobedience cannot be tolerated
The culprit must undergo punishment immediately

- Guilty! Seize him!
Strike him, hit him!
Chain him up to the rock!
- It was the only thing to do…. I had to…
- You had to obey, they are nothing (for we are gods)

Fire is powerful, it makes humans escape from our control
Fire should be kept in a safe place
Fire is ours
We are the Ones

- Suffer! You traitor!
Be prepared to be endlessly wounded
Welcome the winged torturer as your only companion
- Future will tell what I will become…
- It will be as I said!

2. Temptation

Why should I resist when it is teasing me ?
But what lies behind this attraction?
I know I will have what I want in the end!
A pleasant sensation spreading into my veins

There it is, just a step from me:
Just need to let go and welcome Desire
Just a step from me:
The more I wait, the more I enjoy the Fire

A pleasant sensation spreading into my veins
Nothing can refrain me from stealing it

Temptation is driving me through daring

I guess it’s gonna be delicious:
Every glance I take increases my desire
I guess it’s gonna be delicious:
And I know it’s gonna rise higher

A pleasant sensation spreading into my veins
Nothing can refrain me from stealing it

Why should I resist when it is teasing me?
Temptation is driving me through daring...
Am I able to feel remorse? (no I’m not)
I know I will have what I want in the end!

3. Narthex

Let’s chop wood
Let’s draw water
Let’s melt metal
Making tools, weapons, bullets

Let’s tame horses
Let’s farm the land
Let’s gather crops
Eating, drinking, using up

Let’s settle around fire
Let’s build dwellings
Let’s found cities
Growing bigger and higher

Fire feeds our knowledge
Progress springs from our work

We go everywhere
We talk to everyone
We know everything
Connecting, linking again, and again

We fix the DNA
We clone our children
We master life
Upgrading Humanity

Fire feeds our knowledge
Progress springs from our work
We are becoming more and more clever
We are becoming stronger and stronger
We need no Gods anymore
We are

Cell regeneration gives endless life, forever young and attractive
Spy people by exploring their brains
Copy-paste human thoughts
Bend time and space, change the past, know the future
Open doors to alternative universes

4. Awake

Day one - 6:00 a.m
Haven’t slept a lot, my eyes burn a bit
I know the sun, the light it diffuses
I know the stars, spots in the dark sky
I know the cold, when it goes through my flesh
I know the wind, howling in my ears
Can I close my eyes and feel nothing anymore?

Day two - 2:05 a.m

Awake… sleepless night…
Again… long for a rest…
My body isn’t mine, my mind is forsaking me

Day three – 3:50 p.m

I am unfit for feeling the world around me
Why are these hands moving?
What is this smile on my face?
How many hours?
Letters slide over words trying to express
Ideas I can’t bridle

Day four – 9:35 p.m

Countless days, endless hours, how long can I cope?
Can I choose to wake up?
Can I choose my way?
So many hours…
Can I close my eyes and feel nothing anymore?

5. The Forge

How ironic, isn’t it ? Sweetheart
This was not your call
Who asked you to enter The Forge?
You must admit that you did it just for yourself,
For your own satisfaction...
And what if the fire had never left The Forge?

They name you “The one who thinks before acting”
Of course Darling, the fire provided good things to Humanity :
It led them to a new world
With your gift, they forged weapons to kill themselves
And they learned how tough life can be!
... and so did you, honey!
... and so did you, honey!

I hope they thanked you for their great living!
It’s pleasant to play with fire...
... you know that His ire will never leave you!
... so did you, honey!
... and so did you honey!

6. Prometheus

He’s alone
It hurts him badly and it’s like an endless torture
He would never have thought it could have ended this way

From the sky
It comes and lands on his chest
Digging deep into his body
Eating, tearing, pecking, never ending

Eternal punishment for a mistake
He made but didn’t mean

His will was to help, to offer a gift
An inestimable present
He stole, he broke the rules
Though does he truly deserves His anger?

He wished to share life with everyone
He thinks about her, a lot

What else can he do?
Her picture in his mind soothies his wounds for a while

The pain is unbearable but the moon comes
And it goes again
Eternal punishment for a mistake he made but didn’t mean
His will was to help, to offer a gift. An inestimable present

7. Pandora

Open your eyes wretched human !
I wished nothing but the best for you...
You go through your life,
Thinking you’re a victim
Do you really believe in your innocence?

Yes I was here...
I’m the only one...
All this pain...
I can’t refrain from laughing!

I fascinate you, but you are in dread of me
You accuse me, but your destiny is not mine!

8. The Lord Of Cinders

Life crumbles everywhere I go
Beneath my feet, the ground is burnt to ashes
While my hands reduce everything to dust
I am the Almighty, the Lord of cinders

I master the elements,
The Universe keeps no secrets to me anymore
But I can’t contain the huge fire
Devastating my house

The unforgivable mistake
Made me survive
The terrible curse
Made me what I am

My sceptre is a flaming torch
My kingdom is an ashes heap
My existence is absurd
My nature, a heresy

9. Choices

Once it is all done, can you undo?
Can you use what you tried to forget
To recreate and go on with your life?
Can you really choose its way?

Do you feel this flame deep Inside of you
Does it heat you up, or does it trip you up?

Evil, good, heat, destruction, melt, brightness
It can do many things, evil, good
Which one will you choose?
Will you destroy or will you build?

You can’t make without it
You can’t be without it anymore

Do you believe it is a gift
Do you refuse to understand
That it makes what you make it do

10. Hope

I’m still here, waiting for you
I know your pain, I know your fear, your questions
Even if everything’s wrong, I’m still here
Even if everything’s dark, I’m still shining
All you have to do is open the box, again

11. Mercy Of The Gods

Nobody asked so much from you
You just need to draw strength from my eyes
Follow your way, and don’t look back
Put your arms around me
Do you believe in me?
Do you believe in you?
Our existence is here and now, no matter what we did in the past
You made a choice once, now that you’re free everything is possible

I Wonder why you don’t feel happier

You went as

far as you could

You should not fear what’s behind you

Do you believe in me
Do you believe in you
We are free
We can’t escape from our history
We commit mistakes
But we learn
We want to believe that beneath the cinders, life can bloom again
