lyrics

Blossom

Between the sacred and profane
The divine and the mundane
Are the sinners the saints
Or the angels to blame?

From the marshes to dry lands
Through the waterways and dams
I found an answer on the river bank

Take me back to the sea
To taste the salt in the breeze
Every blossom that I bleed
Is a flower that I grieve

Between the holy and depraved
Desire and burning hate
Is our love in vain
Will humanity prevail?

Chorus

The oar of the ferryman
Steady as the current mends
Past, future and present
All blur, embrace

Chorus

I drowned my fears in the stream
To fiercely live and dream
Drowned my pride and my shame
Into the river untamed

Chorus

Between the sacred and profane
The divine and the mundane
Are the sinners the saints
Or the angels to blame?



Au Sel dans la Brise

Entre le sacré et le profane
Le divin et l’insignifiant
Est-ce que les pécheurs sont les saints
Ou les anges à blâmer ?

Depuis les marais jusqu’aux terres sèches
Par les canaux et les écluses
J’ai trouvé une réponse sur la rive

Ramène-moi jusqu’à la mer
Pour regoûter au sel dans la brise
Chaque bourgeon que je saigne
Est une fleur que je pleure

Entre le sacré et la perversion
Le désir et la haine brûlante
Notre amour est-il en vain ?
Est-ce que l’humanité l’emportera ?

Refrain

La rame du passeur
Immobile et solide alors que le courant répare
Le passé, le futur et le présent
S’emmêlent et ne font qu’un

Refrain

J’ai noyé mes peurs dans les flots
Pour vivre et rêver avec force et passion
Noyé mon orgueil et ma honte
Dans la rivière indomptée

Refrain

Entre le sacré et le profane
Le divin et l’insignifiant
Est-ce que les pécheurs sont les saints
Ou les anges à blâmer ?
