Lyrics

Protection

[Verse 1]
La nuit comme une toile suspendue s'effondre
Et j’entends en moi des rugissements
Et je me débats, je me débats
Contre les ombres qui nous transpercent de part en part
[Verse 2]
Les houles de la mer sont une armure
Nous protégeant lorsque le jour s'étrangle
Tant d'armes, tant de lames glaciales
Pour affronter les fauves en nous grondant
