SEPTARIA
J'ai enfreint toutes les règles
Créé le vide absolu
Pour reconstruire toute matière
Avant qu'elle ne soit revenue
"Il fait noir."
J'ai promis aux abysses de ne plus m'imprégner d'elles
J'ai promis à mon âme damnée de ne plus pleurer de grêles
Dans l'espoir inutile de caresser la question du bonheur
Des phrases incisives comme les clous du pseudo sauveur
Mais qui va me sauver, moi?
J'n'arrive déjà pas à me crever par moi-même
Alors si j'hurle comme un gosse qui vient de naître
C'est parce que je n'ai aucun point de repère
"Mais quand la grâce te touchera
Tu comprendras enfin"
No fire to bring me the purest harm
I'm immune to myself
I've suffered too much, my skin is stone
No point in killing oneself
"Mais quand la grâce te touchera
Tu comprendras enfin"
De quelle grâce parles-tu? Je ne vois rien.
Et si jamais je n'avais point la vertu, de ressentir le bien?
Allez, on avance encore et encore
On s'en fout de ce qui nous bat, encore et encore
T'as raison, ne me fais pas confiance, je ne vaux rien
Pas de marques externes, le cycle touche à sa fin
Et un homme ne pleure pas Aux yeux des archetypes, société de merde
Je ne suis que la denrée de la plèbe
J'ai pas envie de demander de l'aide
J'ai pas envie de faire chier le monde
J'ai envie qu'on me remarque, putain
J'ai envie d'être important aux yeux de certains
Quoi? t'as jamais eu ce sentiment? Ferme ta gueule, tu mens
Ca se sait bien, ça se voit bien, tu n'as rien de véritable
Alors que moi, moi, moi, moi j'en chie tous les jours
Et je n'ai que moi même pour m'aider
A faire sur la corde plein de tours
"Mais es tu seulement digne ? Connais-tu les signes ?
As tu ne serais-ce qu'une seule fois été maligne ?
Il n'y a pas de grâce pour les sales lignes
C'est la vie."
The silence is deafening, the fire is freezing
The man inside the ice is more dangerous than the light
No, i won't hide again, I'd rather stab by heart
I made a promise to the abysses!
Ah, si même les abysses ne me répondent pas
C'est qu'elles ont peur de se voir dans un miroir
Ce monde n'est pas réel, ma tête est plongée
Dans les méandres bien noires des limbes infinies

OBSIDIAN
Through you I shall find equilibrium, peace
And inner strength.
Dark eye guides me through a maze of misty beliefs
Your silent voice it tells the way in unknown tongues
Show me thy way
Yet I feel and understand
Each and every of your words.
I turned my back on uncertainty
The fire burns, my faith is strong
I carry centuries of ancient wisdom
Treasures of yesterdays buried in dust
Show my mind and I will follow
Celestial eye, be one with me
Celestial eye
It takes a lot of strength to admit that I'm weak
A fallible ephemeral piece of flesh
Celestial eye
Yet I feel and comprehend
Each and every of your riddles
Send my fears back to their source
The fire burns, my faith is strong
I carry centuries of ancient wisdom
Treasures of yesterdays molten in black
Show my mind and I will follow
Celestial eye, I'll follow thee
Beyond perception and beyond what's real
Towards the speakable
Celestial eye, I'll follow thee
Beyond perception and beyond what's real
Towards the speakable
You don't have to touch nor to see what you feel
The eye is all around
You don't have to touch nor to see what you feel
The eye is all around

TOURMALINE NOIRE
I've seen the end of life
A flood of tears in a knifed heart
Old dark memories interwined
Why you cryin’? Everything’s fine!
Go back drinkin’, this one’s mine.
Reflected laughs of the past
Until this one day,
No more smile,
No more brain…
Drowned in a booze to forget this
But my heart, it doesn’t fit.
Shadows are coming
The tomb is calling
A last one to see, to feel
A last one tonight, I’ve lost my time
I needed hope, I got a rope!
A flood of blades in a drowned body
The past is coming back, smashing my face!
Time was no healing, crushing on me
I just never found my place
Assuming this pain by running through hell
I lost my mind, rage
Madness with wine, insane
No tears to shed
No life to share
No more despair
No call for help
No more, no more!!
I’ve seen the end of life, a dead body,
This invisible fear should have drowned me
A splitted past, no good memory
Blaming the world for what I couldn’t see
Can’t understand this meaningless loss
Pushing back this pain on a man on a cross !
Was it aggression ?
Was it despair ?
Or fear to grow in a world this unfair ?
I never thought I could feel so bad !
Without any help, I could have died !
But I found someone whose heart was pure,
Now I'm alive and for this I’m glad !

SPECTROLITE
Au fond de moi
je pensais avoir la force..
D'absorber le mal, inhaler ces ondes sales
Mais je n'ai fait que pourrir lentement
Mon écorce
Pollué par des âmes sombres
Qui n'ont fait qu'agrandir mon ombre
Destabilisé par leurs chaos
Qui m'ont grignoter jusqu'aux os
j'ai finis par souiller des auras pures
De la noirceur que je ne pouvais plus éponger
Accablé de froideurs et de fractures
Complètement vidé de vitalité, j'ai fini par tomber...
Enchaîné à ces esprits pollués
Epuisé de ces tortures mentales
Noyé dans toute cette négativité
Gangrené jusqu'à l'énergie vitale
Je pensais pouvoir les sauver...
De toute ma volonté
De toute ma naïveté
Je pensais que mon échine resisterait...
A la recherche de mes racines
J'ai rencontré cet être
Qui m'a redonné mes forces d'origines
Et qui m'a fait renaître
Expulser les noirceurs de mon âme
Malgré la profondeur des entailles
Trouver au fond de moi, mon arme
Me libérer de ces chaînes infernales

SPINEL BLACK
Betrayed, abandoned, solitude
Deception, hartred, rage,
The need of easy certitudes
Lost nonentity scared to be rejected once more
With no choice but the echo of an ancient voice :
"Improve ! Be Better !
Prove you can crush the others
And make them admire !"
A few aptitudes gave me attitudes :
Charisma creates core beliefs,
Erects me an addictive social throne
So high... Who would dare to vex the irritable idole ?
no regret, no remorse
no reset, just enforce !
Confront to the master of eloquence,
At first a fair cordial exchange
Argument but fear my anger :
Don't tell me I'm wrong ? Never ever !
Confront your blind passion
For the absurd arrogant (unleashed) majesty
With your frustration,
Deception of feeling despised,
Really see me !
"Improve ! Be Better !
Prove you can crush the others"
The voice that echoed so strong,
Now sounds so wrong...
And one after the other,
Left each perishioner
"Now, we are only two :
Me and the far echo of the ancient voice I knew
I should have contrasted from these scars that lasted
I should have improved, been better
To walk humbly with others
For this, I'm sorry people,
I did want not to be the same...
Sincerly, I feel shame"
Then a beautiful sound caressed my soul
This new sweet melody surrounded and hold me
Stopped the lament,
Gave me strengh to tear the camisole
Of the fury that had so appalled,
Now, I could hope for serenity
So many regrets and remorses
Can't reset nor ignore
Time for daily vigilance,
Vertuous circles, benevolence
Mistakes, failures...
I Stay focus despite relapses and recurrence
No pain, no gain, but much easier
With some dear old fellows back on my side
Without lassitude, my endless gratitude
That you trust the promiss I won't misguide
A tiny rhythm arises from the melody
And smiles and rejoices when it hears my voice
Little heart pulse, may you find in me the right impulse
I won't dictate any tempo or be an overwhelming echo
As, regret and remorse
Are the scars of my thoughts

CHRYSOCOLLE
It rolls inside
It grows despite the tide
But hold on I must cover it
Even if the rumble never stops, come over,
Control and outwit
Bury in my grave all my fears, I’m fine
[Shake and let go]
Yeah I can restrain, perfection is mine
[Shake and let go]
Constantly ruling, every single thing, my aim is just
To fit the model I was teached and I behave
Unduly convinced,
Accomplishment lies in mastering everything,
I realized I become my own slave
How long will you have to
Keep the beast inside you?
It yells, shouts, howls, screams out
And no way to spit out
Harshness has ossified it all
Brain in Jail, I just want to deeply breathe
To simply live and maybe fall
But none of my limbs is weak enough to even sprawl
Buried in my grave, coffin is made of pride
[Shake and let go]
In the end, I’ve nailed my own wings down
All the same I crave,
And for once just erase the pressure
I’ve inflicted, finally let go all the rage
Unduly restrained…
Ignore the thoughts, forget the doubts,
Unleash the beast
And start to tear down my own cage
How long will you have to
Keep the beast inside you?
It yells, shouts, howls, screams out
Find a way to spit out
{Farewell, will you dare?
In the end, here you’re all bare}
Frustrated, starving, you are
The beast slowly begins to nibble to find a way out
It scratches your belly,
Enlarge your scars
Break the chain
And let go

QUARTZ
Sans le moindre signe avant-coureur
Un certain matin surviennent
Les premières trahisons de la chair
Cette nouvelle étrangère avec laquelle,
Tu le sais,
Il faudra apprendre à composer
Et négocier à la fin sans otage
Les termes de ta défaite
Cette pente, tu le sais
Commence à peine à dévaler
Et cette chose, au fond
Ne fera plus qu'approcher
Je l'entends maintenant
Si précisément
Le mouvement incessant
Qui rend amer et ralentit le sang
Alors je réalise
Combien j'ai gâché
Et plus je pense à les compter
Plus elles se mettent à peser
Parce que maintenant
Je le sens
Le temps des secondes chances est passé
Dans le mouvement incessant
Du grand broyeur
Où refroidissent tous les élans
Tout ce qu'on croyait indestructible
L'impatiente éternité de l'enfance
La terreur sacrée des premières fois
Alors je réalise le poids
De tout ce que je ne pensais pas à compter

Abigail Williams has had a weird career with hiatuses and lineup changes, but they have finally perfected their sound on Walk Beyond the Dark. This album has such a refreshing and natural feeling that makes it one of the top atmospheric black metal albums of recent years.
