about

This song is about the ruins of ancient times, the remaining witnesses of the atrocity of man.

lyrics

Listen to the walls
These writings bear the truth, showing me the unsaid but done
The marks of our stupidity forever carved in stone
I the writer, I the messenger, I will carry these pages until the very end

These shadows are devouring my thoughts, fading in an ocean of complaints
I hear them sing, the dead lives in these ruins

Their voice resides inside my head
Their voice gets louder and reclaims their own chapter
Listen to the walls, they have seen it all
Like witnesses of our decline, holding back a grin at every line

Written in the blood of innocents
On their graves, the skeletons dance
Time flies but the memory remains in this hall of shame

I the writer, I the messenger, I will carry these pages 'til the very end

[Romain]
Is this my only role ? The ink has dried
The words escape me
But I write, I always write, to bury this legacy under the roots of the dead tree
I the writer, I the messenger, I will carry these pages til the very end

These shadows are devouring my thoughts, fading in an ocean of complaints
I hear them sing, hear them sing
The dead lives in these ruins.
