Thorns
An uncertain future
Blurred is the sense of time
I sink into the night
Present intertwines with the past
Daydream or nightmare
I don’t even know who I am
No pills can kill the feelings of guilt that sting me all the time
Discarded by sea on the shore
I feel trapped, naked in a world made of thorns
My body feels bruised, I can’t find the strength to struggle
The slightest movement just inflicts me more suffering
I can barely breathe, the noose is tightening
Choking my soul, brambles and thorns (slowly) drag me to the grave
Fake smiles on my face for the sake of keeping (up) appearances
Wet eyes wide open, always staring at the void
Can't hear the sound of my voice, speechless even when I scream
I feel trapped, naked in a world made of thorns
I’m trapped in a world made of...

Silent Scream

I kept my promise and you ?
I thought you were saved from these troubled waters
But it wasn’t that simple
Smiling even when the heart is in the mouth
Knotted stomach (and) throat turned upside down
Go on and move on under the storm
The truth is for the moon
And we scream silently to the stars
With all our strength
All our weaknesses
Through hope and dreams
Howling at the night
I left without a word
You left full of evils
Mouth open to a silent scream
An ephemeral story, just like you
In the end, promises are just words
Go on and move on under the storm
Go on and move on for the moon
And we scream silently to the stars
With all our strength
All our weaknesses
Through hope and dreams
Howling at the night
Silently to the stars

In nomine lucrum, morimini !
The love of one's neighbor has never ruled the world
Royalty is Envy and Profit
In their name, we can trample all and everyone
Live
Pray
Buy
And die !
In nomine lucrum, morimini !
I condemn the leaders who place our world under profits
For whom only money talks
For Him, you live, breathe, eat, drink, love, cry, hate, kill....
In the name of oil, weapons, and Holy money, Die !
For Him, you live, breathe, eat, drink, love, cry, hate, kill....
And it all starts over again and again again
Your god is fake ! Pray, buy and die !
Money is His name, illusion is His strength, everything is fake
Life, consumption, death, the triumvirate of our societies
Vive !
Ora !
Emere !
Et morere !
Morere !
In nomine lucrum, morimini !
For Him, you live, breathe, eat, drink, love, cry, hate, kill....
And it all starts over again and again again

Blood of the underdogs

Rise !
Rise !
We have insurrection in our veins and you ?
Rise ! Rise ! Rise from the ashes of the past
Fight ! Fight ! Fight for honor
Shedding blood for the dissent
Blood of the underdogs dissolved by ink
(as) History tends to be written by the victors but
Can't you feel the rage hidden between the lines of their books
trapped in the depth of forbidden tales
Our story's been silenced for too long
(It's) time to make some noise
(It's) never too late to make our voice heard
Clench your fist in the air
and scream so fucking loud
Rise ! Rise from the ashes of the past
Fight ! Fight ! Fight for honor
Stand up and scream
Blood boils in our veins, willpower in our brains
We melt the steel from our chains to shape our weapons and souls
Forgotten voices from the past
are being gathered to set the record straight
May the truth be the flag of our insurrection
Rats crawl and false gods laugh
Stand up and shout so fucking loud
Clench your fist in the air
and scream so fucking loud
Rise !
Rise ! Rise ! Rise from the ashes of the past
Fight ! Fight ! To bring back honor
Shedding blood for the dissent

Chaos

No matter the ordeals
No matter the tempests
I will stand, waiting for the next wave
No matter the tragedies
Nothing will stop me
I do not fear the chaos, I’ve learned to live with it
and make it one of my strengths.
Nothing will stand in my way
Nothing will block me
You can try but you will lose
I will ask the darkness
I will tame the chaos
I will control my life
I will follow my path
I will always be standing
When you will be down
In pleasure
In despair
In failure
I’m still here
Alive and proud
No matter your fears or nightmares
I will ask the darkness
I will tame the chaos
I will control my life
I will follow my path
I will ask the darkness to guide me
I will tame the chaos whatever it is
I will control my life at all costs
I will follow my path to the end
You can’t destroy me, not even break me
I will start over again and again
I will tame the chaos
I will ask the darkness
I will tame the chaos
I will control my life
I will follow my path
I will ask the darkness
I will tame the chaos
I will control my life
I will follow my path

Quake in fear
Ain't no escape, there is nowhere you can hide
No more remissions
Violence is on the rise on both sides
What choice do we have between hate and anger?
All this sticks the knife in our rage
Awaken our needs for freedom
Divide and rule has been your creed
Your peace is over
Our war is on its way
So can't you hear the anger from the street ?
swelling, running, feeding on our rage
Stillborn dreams buried in despair
The world sinks into the conflict of the giants
Who look at us from their ivory towers
And don’t give a shit about us
Divide and rule has been your creed
Your peace is over
Our war is on its way
So can't you hear the anger from the street ?
swelling, running, feeding on our rage
Stillborn dreams buried in despair
In our despair
Whatever the cost
Whatever the loss
We'll never give up
We will never surrender
Whatever the cost
Whatever the loss
We'll never give up
We will never surrender
Can’t you hear the scream from the street ?
Not forgetting, Not forgiving, No concession, It’s our warpath
So can't you hear the rage from the street ?
So can't you hear the anger from the street ?
swelling, running, feeding on our rage
Stillborn dreams buried in despair
In our despair
Your peace is over
Our war is on its way
Can’t you hear the anger from the street ?

There is something inside my being
My parasitic symbiosis
My fall or my rebirth
Something to live for
Something to die for
Pain it’s all I’ve got
It’s all I’ve got
Will I win today ?
This devouring void and that little beast
which drags me down to my limits
Makes grow for the battles
Will I win today ?
Something to breed
Something to grieve for
Something to fear
Something to grow up for
That thing that seeks to complete my broken soul
That thing that seeks to consume my empty head
Pain it’s all I’ve got
It’s all I’ve got
Get the fuck out !
This devouring void and that little beast
which drags me down to my limits
Makes grow for the battles
Will I win today ?

Except One Paris, France
Except One is the brainchild of four French musicians, who wanted to express themselves freely while creating their own musical universe. Together, they're mixing influences that span from the ripping brutality of Suicide Silence to groove monsters DevilDriver and the more melodic approach of Arch Enemy. ... more
