lyrics

DROPPED IN A WORLD OF CONTRADICTIONS
AM I WITNESSING MY OWN EXTINCTION?

IT’S ALREADY NIGHT
ABOVE THE DARK GREY SKY
CREATED BY A SICK CIVILIZATION

SUCKING LIFE OUT OF THE EARTH
DRYING THE LAND
COVERED WITH ASHES
KILLING EVERYTHING THAT GAVE IT BIRTH
THAT’S WHERE WE LIVE
LIKE A SPIDER WEB WITHOUT A CENTER
GROWING AS THE SOIL BURNS
THIS WORLD IS BOTH VIRUS AND SHELTER
KILLING WHEN THE COLD NIGHT RETURNS
THE MAZE HAS TAKEN CONTROL
OF MY DAYS, OF MY SOUL
I CAN’T FIND A WAY

I FOLLOW YOUR TRACKS IN VAIN
RUNNING FROM QUESTIONS, DOUBT AND PAIN
FEELING OUT OF BREATH
THE ONLY THING I CHASE IS MY OWN DEATH
MY ONLY WAY IS UP
ABOVE THIS LIFELESS CROWD
I NEED TO STOP
BEFORE THIS CONSCIENCE FAINTS AGAIN
BREAKING DOWN THE STREAM
AGAINST THE CURRENTS, I STAND

THIS SPACE IS FED WITH FEAR AND DOUBT
WITH WALLS SO THICK
NO ONE CAN HEAR YOU SHOUT

THE MAZE HAS TAKEN CONTROL
OF MY DAYS, OF MY SOUL
I CAN’T FIND A WAY
I CAN’T FIND A WAY TO EXIT

I FOLLOW YOUR TRACKS IN VAIN
RUNNING FROM QUESTIONS, DOUBT AND PAIN
SHOULD I RAISE AND TAKE THE BLAME
FOR WAKING UP A CHRONIC SHAME
I'M FEELING OUT OF BREATH
THE ONLY THING I CHASE
IS MY OWN DEATH
MY ONLY WAY IS UP
ABOVE THIS LIFELESS CROWD
I NEED TO STOP
BEFORE THIS CONSCIENCE FAINTS AGAIN
BREAKING DOWN THE STREAM
AGAINST THE CURRENTS, I STAND

EXILE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE CROWD
TRUTH IS THE ONLY THING I FOUND
STRUGGLING FOR A WAY
RATHER THAN A MEANING
HOW CAN YOU MAKE A CHOICE?

BETWEEN SILENCE AND NOISE
BETWEEN YOUR PATH AND YOUR VOICE

SUCKING LIFE OUT OF THE EARTH
DRYING THE LAND COVERED WITH ASHES
KILLING EVERYTHING THAT GAVE IT BIRTH
YET THAT’S WHERE WE LIVE

THIS SPACE IS FED WITH FEAR AND DOUBT
WITH WALLS SO THICK
NO ONE CAN HEAR YOU SHOUT

NO ONE CAN HEAR YOU SHOUT

I NEED TO STOP BEFORE
THIS CONSCIENCE FAINTS AGAIN
BREAKING DOWN THE STREAM
AGAINST THE CURRENTS, I STAND

I FOLLOW YOUR TRACKS IN VAIN
RUNNING FROM QUESTIONS, DOUBT AND PAIN
FEELING OUT OF BREATH
THE ONLY THING I CHASE
IS MY OWN DEATH
MY ONLY WAY IS UP
ABOVE THIS LIFELESS CROWD

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
