lyrics

You're the abusive father I was taught to love.
You're the coolest beardo ever sent from above.
You're the elusive spectrum
Spawning from the rostrum:
A hell of a triptych, alone on the podium.

You said this, you made that,
"Let there be": my ass.
Eternal farcical spook of the ruling class.
Proclaimed king of kings, therefore king of none,
Deceives, destroys but disappoints in the long run.

Now you're just like any other dead pet.
We told the kids:
"He's buried at the end of the yard"
Underneath a pretty wooden cross,
With your name on it like you son before.

But you rot in landfill:
Sepulcher of an absurdity.
Now you're just like any other dead pet,
Except I don't even miss you.

Meant to be part of my mother tongue,
All that is left of your words are your stupid songs
Glorifying a world to which I don't belong.
I shut down the voices, what took me so long?

For all those years you've been a part of my life,
Tearing me away from reason.
You stole a part of my youth,
Built limits to my imagination.

Supposed to cherish you,
To tell you my secrets before going to bed.
But the more I shared with you,
The more I tried, the more I hated you instead.
I did my best to understand
Until I saw this through:
Get outside my head.
Of all the things I haven't said,
I believe that you are better off dead.

Why is the world still at your feet,
When all that remains is a fucking question?
Plenty of words, but no point at the end.
You won't break the silence,
Not even when you're condemned.
You're nothing more than an imaginary friend.

Relinquish at last
This allegiance of the past:
I'm so sorry my friend,
But this means apostasy.

about

La Commune Paris, France

La Commune is a french metal band. Its music mixes various influences, from Gojira to Currents, Behemoth or even At The Gates.
The homage to the Parisian historical event of "La Commune" is not fortuitous, and the energy of their music and live performance is fed by their urge to talk about human stories. ... more
