"Selfishness : Source of War & Violence" (2008) All lyrics by Robert Beriau © 2008 1 – Agoraphobia
Oh no ! Here it comes again
Drowned in the crowd Hunched in my mind I shall get out , Let me get out ! Ah ! I am terrified Strange language fills my head Queer sentiment floods my veins My heart swells ! Pain dragged me down to the ground. They turn out the lights Blind to my sorrows Insane, these morons think I am ! There is no hiding-place I am me ! You know who I am ! Better be, imperfect me, Than a prince or princess Clever only to wear Useless fashion dress ! Nice to be me, unruly and free ! 2 - Terrorism: a two actors play
In a suburb of a foreign city
The Man alone, only seeks to survive, An open heart to fraternize One looks at what he appears to be Judging the fantom Which its clothing surround The person in his appearing Not ..... who he is ! His culture, religion and functions The money he has, The color of his skin, One forgets the gestures he poses, The words that he dares. He seems so arrogant and aggressive, Walking down on this side of YOUR street Look at him in the eyes, You’ll see your own reflection, Will you really see any difference? Simply because you were born On opposite continents ? You in opulence, him in poverty ? Both in indifference and violence ? Seek for the smile in the eyes of this enemy Calm his and your anger Show him the sufferings around us Don’t let him believe any more That he cannot change this war history, …You both can, you both can …We all have to ! 3 - Blind Heart ( instrumental )
4 - Last Call for a change ( instrumental )
5 - The Rats leave the sinking ship
Greenhouse gases continue to rise,
As global temperatures, Melting Artic and Antartica, Worldwide rising sea levels, Rising pollution in tropospheric ozone, Stonger heat waves, cold waves, storms, floods and droughts. …Ah! Just look what we’ve done ! Leaders still act as stupid puppets, Rejecting the Kyoto agreement, 100 years of human development Is now a treat To the millions of years of planet Earth. (Are they intellectually blind ?) I just hope that With my recycling of goods, The reduced use of my car, That I am now green in my yard, …..It will not be too late ! Just don’t relied on our leaders. Fucking politiciens, where are you? ……did they left ? 6 - Selfcontempt behavior or social poverty ( instrumental )
7 - Time Fracture
This song is dedicated to Catherine Bourbonnière who was murdered in 2006
Children’s baggages,
Filled with laughts and intentions, Just left on the quay of adults, Tied with love from family, Kindness of close friends, You belong here ! One knock at my door, Darkness slowly surrounds us, Whispering that in violence, Long time after love was gone, This coward assasinated you ! At the dawn of a woman life, Instructed by Lucifer, Death snaps the door It would have taken just a moment, To vanish from our soul, The flame of your beliefs. I am crying with your friends, I cry because it would have been so easy for us, To preserve our courage to make a change, To pursue these dreams which we had one day sworn, At your age, to realize. It’s so sad ! It’s so sad ! Thank you to have been you … To have been part of our life ! 8 - Toughts are not enough (instrumental)
9 – Homeless … (if only ! )
Strange noises arround us
Life values no longer exist Only memories remain ….Bitterness of the past ! I did’nt knew what to do Nor even cry out for you And as it happens Lament won’t forgives indifference You survived just on your own Itinerancy as residence Every day there with your smile Even if our spectres Were repellent to your eyes Indifference comes from those Who do not have courrage People with fears That you might steal their soul When your eyes crossed mine Without doubt, we both knew That even dressed different, We are just mirror and image ! The sky today turned gray. Sitting on your park bench, He informed me, That you had fled This morning, not even 20 ……..just killed yourself ! This song is for you, Hoping that my regrets, Will never leave me Now… I am different ! 10 - Hoping on the next genration (instrumental)
