Invincible

Dont on ne triomphe pas
Depuis l'obscurité qui m'envahit,
Noire comme le royaume de l'enfer,

Je remercie les dieux quels qu'ils soient

Pour mon âme indomptable.

Dans l'étreinte féroce des circonstances,

Je n'ai ni bronché ni pleuré
Sous les coups de l'adversité.
Mon esprit est ensanglanté mais inflexible.

Au-delà de ce monde de colère et de larmes,
Ne se profile que l'horreur de la nuit.

Et pourtant face à la grande menace

Je me trouve et je reste sans peur.

Peu importe combien le voyage sera dur,
Et combien la liste des châtiments sera lourde,
Je suis le maître de mon destin,
Je suis le capitaine de mon âme.

mystic river


"Mystic River"

I can't believe it's true I finally got you here
I've been waiting for this moment for some years
I’ve been torn down enough to know
Everyone goes through this door
Just before their lives explode
Come in here with a heavy load
Walking down the road watching the day begin
Radio song is playing off in a distant wind
But you can feel it it's a gentle love
Coming out soft from the windows above
Just when you have had enough
Here comes the world you’ve been dreaming of
Oh my my the Mystic River
She takes your heart
And you will forgive her
Lay me down beside the water
I look across at the sons and daughters
Sun comes up each day to chase away the moon
Even the stars at night they fade away too soon
You can’t do much about the trouble life brings
Cut all the lines so the phones don’t ring
But stay here once from spring to spring
Watching the ice melt the mornings sing
Oh my my the Mystic River
She takes your heart
And you will forgive her
Lay me down beside the water
I miss my sons I miss my daughter now
There’s a tree that grows out in the burning sands
Never a drop of rain that nobody understands
You can push me I don’t mind
Leave me out here and I’ll be fine
Cause everyone’s gonna have their time
Up or down honey you decide
Oh my my the Mystic River
She takes your heart
And you will forgive her
Lay me down beside the water
I miss my sons I miss my daughter now
