The Beast Within
This Curse, this burden.
How can I get rid of it?
Out of pride, this desire to know,
Cost me so much.
I wanted to create good
And the foul beast was born,
We are bound by the same fate,
By the same lie.
I’m the one who believes,
That I could create
The Philosopher’s Stone.
I believed so much, I lost so much
In this quest
That led me right to my loss.
I believed so much, I lost so much
Someday ...may I be forgiven
Despite the beast within me.
This lily, this cross,
Am I worthy of wearing them?
Can my devoted king
Still call me a Knight?
I wanted to create good
And the foul beast was born,
We are bound by the same fate,
By the same lie.
How could I believe, that I could create
The Philosopher’s Stone
I believed so much, I lost so much
In this quest
That led me right to my loss.
I believed so much, I lost so much
Someday... May I be forgiven
With me the beast within you.
You cannot!
I have to repair this fault,
Should I spend my whole life
This is my quest, my duty as a knight
I have to win over the darkness
I have to follow the great path of light.
I believed so much, I lost so much
In this quest
That led me right to my loss.
I believed so much, I lost so much
In this quest
That led me right to my loss.
I believed so much, I lost so much
Someday... May I be forgiven
Despite the beast within me.

The Iron Queen
In the heart of the darkest woods
The beast tracks you down mercilessly
In his domain, this demon,
Is he invincible?
This bond that unites our souls
He has only one goal, to break it
He cannot bear, in the heart of his lands,
A link made of pure light.
Remember this day,
This holy birth
When our eyes met each others
Two consciousnesses for one being
The mythical hermaphrodite
Dream of the greatest alchemists
The sword made you her Queen
As for me,
The penny made me his Knight.
This so distant time
Warms my heart, we have to meet
He knows that everything
Is possible together.
Where are you?
You cowards, you are in my home
In the darkest woods there is no light.
Remember this day, this holy birth
When our eyes met each others
Two consciousnesses for one being
The mythical hermaphrodite
Dream of the greatest alchemists
The sword made you her Queen
As for me,
The penny made me his Knight.
Remember this day,
This holy birth
When our eyes met each others
Two consciousnesses for one being
The mythical hermaphrodite
Dream of the greatest alchemists
We’ll stand together to face his kind
Once and for all,
We’ll end the night.

The Scarlet Dance
Finally we meet here
In the heart of these dark abysses
Let the scarlet dance begin
Let our blades collide in time
By this dance then will end
My ordeal which has lasted for too long
This burden that weighs hard on my shoulders
Will disappear with the foul beast
It’s time to put an end to this tale
This fierce tale forgotten by all
The reign of darkness must end
Your conspiracy have lasted too long
It’s now to the light to arise
To make shine the darkest woods
By the grace of the Iron Queens
After evil, finally hope
Of a most radiant future
Or one can live without fear of others
Under the watchful eye of our protector
But before they need you
Defeat the foul beast, let her fate be sealed
So that we can live in peace
Scarlet dance must end for the best
For our Opus Magnum to arise
Scarlet dance must test our hearts
To be worthy to build Utopia
This Iron city where evil has no rights
Will be a haven of peace for all
For the next thirty centuries
After evil, finally hope, to then build Utopia
This city, with thousand wonders
Will be the most beautiful jewel on Earth.
But before they need you
Defeat the foul beast, let her fate be sealed
So that we can live in peace
This filthy beast refuses this ideal
It only dreams of an evil world
A land of perpetual war
Where rivers are blood born.
This dark Opus will never come
I swear it on my life, cup rider you won’t win
Penny’s house will have victory.
— We shall give all our hearts in this last fight,
With you my Iron Queen, Lady of Swords,
This battle is ours to take.
— Aren’t you afraid he’ll call upon the Black Moon?
— You see, he is alone, his lady is too far.
— What vileness! Indeed I cannot win this time.
In the darkest woods years of war will end
And then, we, little ones
Will finally live happy days
To the graces of heaven we’ll awake.
For glory this city we’ll build.
Utopia will be our sanctuary
For the next thirty centuries.
After evil, finally hope, of a most radiant future
Or one can live without fear of others
Under the watchful eye of our protector.
After evil, finally hope, to then build Utopia
This city, with thousand wonders
Will be the most beautiful jewel on Earth.

Darkness Will Prevail
Once upon a time,
There was a misunderstood man
Misunderstood when he wanted to do
so much for his kind
By some vile malice
And forgotten spells,
His enemies,
The last battle they’ve won, well...
The plan however seemed to
Be the best
The bitch of the swords being caught
in my nets
Her disappearance
Would have been a fact
If this rascal had spared us
From his act
And I’m alone,
Back on Resurrection
Listening to the plaintive sounds
Of some aberrations
Because I am the Beast,
The rider of the cups
And it is my duty,
To spread evil, I must
It is unfair to be so misunderstood
This feeling of void,
This unfulfilled desire
What an immense burden to carry!
I should,
On those shoulders,
Bear the sin’s fire!
I am however so great,
So superb in my field
I feed on your joys,
Your hatreds, your beliefs
Would you be able
To do so many miracles ?
Who among you
Can claim it in this cenacle ?
In this sense I understand
That it’s my duty to reign
On this treacherous Earth
From which I was exiled
No one except me
Has the panache to prevail
To link them all
In the darknesses’ heart
However,
I may be missing elements
Some fresh troops
Will do the job well
But also, and above all,
As my bloody opponents
I need my dearest half,
From the depths of hell
Oh yes finally,
I see the plan appearing
My enemy has always
Had certain weaknesses
What will he do
Without his adored king
His broken soul,
Their wounded faces
To Lilith they will hail
And darkness... will prevail

Children Of The Night
Sire Cryptus
Where are my children
Remember you had
Promised me an army
Was the harvest not good
For the children of the night?
I finally feel
Their presence
Our journey can begin
Across the Pandæmonium
Its gate we will pass
To invade the age of enlightenment
Our endless bloodlust will be
Satisfied by war
May it be eternal
But before leaving
Tell me my friend
Where is she hiding
Without her presence it’s impossible
To lead such an army
I finally feel
Their presence
Our journey can begin
Across the Pandæmonium
Its gate we will pass
To invade the age of enlightenment
Our endless bloodlust will be
Satisfied by war
May it be eternal
Where are you Lilith
Come and share my throne
Our journey can begin
Across the Pandæmonium.
Its gate we will pass
To invade the age of enlightenment
Our endless bloodlust will be
Satisfied by war
May it be eternal

The Queen Of The Black Sun
Fading, traces of lost desires
Seeking a goal for those empty lives
From a wounded midnight sky
She descends without knowing why.
She’s a moonchild, born from a star’s bite
A supernova, living from a dying light
She’s an outcast the world is rejecting
Not knowing yet they will bend the knee
Before her.
But mine is already on the fertile land
To honor her for she will stand
As the Queen of the Black Sun.
A figure of love and hate
Fair to the weak, cruel to the sinner
She lightens the weight of my agony
So my hand will be her hand
And my blood will be her blood
As I grow in the blazing light of her mantle
That of the Queen Of The Black Sun.
Tender, as the child within her
Wounded by a senseless world
Glaring my eyes with her dichotomic stones
She ascends with me to the sun.
Embracing my soul with hers
She scatters a rain of glowing seeds
And as we dance into a lightning sky
I’m becoming one of her breed.
And she’s becoming one of mine
As the knight fights to live for she’s also
The princess of a pale moon.
A figure of spleen and grace.
Tender to me, kind to my anger
She lightens the weight of my agony
So my hand will be her hand
And my blood will be her blood
As I grow in the blazing night of her mantle
That of the princess of a pale moon.
Anger, Wrath, Pain, Lust,
As she makes hers all of the griefs
She transcends all of my beliefs
So I’ll make all of us bend the knee
Before her stance of secrecy
Of Majesty.
And we’ll shine in her glory
For the infinite love she bleeds
Tenderly on our wounded souls
So we all hail to the Queen of the Black Sun.
All hail! All hail!
All hail to the Queen of the Black Sun
All hail! All hail!
All hail to the Queen of the Black Sun
A figure of love and hate
Fair to the weak, cruel to the sinner
She lightens the weight of my agony
So my hand will be her hand
And my blood will be her blood
As I grow in the blazing light of her mantle,
A figure of spleen and grace
Tender to me, kind to my anger
She lightens the weight of my agony.
And my hand will be her hand,
And my blood will be her blood
So she shines upon our human tragedy
For the knight will become her king
For the king to become her prince.

Massacres de Septembre
Sombres étaient les rues,
Lourds étaient les cœurs
Une colombe diaphane, meurtrie au sol
Tant de vies perdues,
Pour une folle rumeur
Aucun citoyen du temple n’est innocent
Elle était si fidèle
Si dévouée à sa reine
Vaincue par les félons jaloux de ses vertus
Son corps exposé à la rue,
Son âme déjà bien loin
- Des massacres de Septembre
Mais pourquoi une telle haine ici-bas ?
Marie ne vous a-t-elle pas appris
À aimer autrui ?
Quel démon vous a poussé à faire cela
Pourquoi plonger Paris dans la nuit ?
La ville des Lumières, Phare des poètes
Pleure ses enfants, ses enfants perdus
Dans les plus noires ténèbres,
Leurs cœurs corrompus sont dévoués
- Aux massacres de Septembre
Mais pourquoi une telle haine ici-bas ?
Marie ne vous a-t-elle pas appris
À aimer autrui ?
Quel démon vous a poussé à faire cela
Pourquoi plonger Paris dans la nuit ?
"Ils sont dévastés dans nos temples
Les monuments sacrés des rois :
Mon œil effrayé les contemple ;
Je tremble et je pleure à la fois.
Tandis qu’une fosse commune,
Des grandeurs et de la fortune
Reçoit les funèbres lambeaux,
Un spectre, à la voix menaçante,
A percé la tombe récente
Qui dévora les vieux tombeaux.
Sa main d’une pique est armée :
Un bonnet cache son orgueil ;
Par la mort sa vue est charmée :
Il cherche un tyran au cercueil.
Courbé sur la poudre insensible,
Il saisit un sceptre terrible
Qui du lys a flétri la fleur,
Et d’une couronne gothique
Chargeant son bonnet anarchique,
Il se fait roi de la douleur."
Soyez témoins
De ces massacres.

Ferrum Fero Ferro Feror
In the heart of mist, we are shadows
Ready to draw our swords,
At Nesle’s tower Cyrano awaits
The Lilies princes, bound together
A boat awaits us to cross the Seine
At the cathedral we have to go
We repeat our vows
We’re praying God
To defend the cathedral of Notre-Dame
We are the knights of Heliopolis
Scholars and men of faith
Heir to ancestral knowledge
We, noble hearts, will bleed
These traitors to the crown, these
bastards,
They’ll cross the Acheron
Ferrum Fero Ferro Ferror
Our enemies call us Ogres
They do us great honor
We walk under the sun
As those ghouls hide in the night
Ferrum Fero Ferro Ferror
This is our Credo
Bringing iron is our duty
We are blue blood children
Guardians of France
We defend this noble task
We are the knights of Heliopolis
Scholars and men of faith
Heir to ancestral knowledge
We, noble hearts, will bleed
These traitors to the crown,
These bastards
They’ll cross the Acheron
Ferrum Fero Ferro Ferror
"Qui ne craint point la mort
Ne craint point les menaces
J’ai le cœur au-dessus
Des plus fières disgrâces
Et l’on peut me réduire à vivre
Sans bonheur
Mais non pas me résoudre à vivre
Sans honneur"
We are the knights of Heliopolis
Alchemists, Cartomancers and
Men of faith
Planeswalkers of the ancient worlds
We are the knights of Heliopolis
Scholars and men of faith
Heir to ancestral knowledge
We, noble hearts, will bleed
These traitors to the crown,
These bastards
They’ll cross the Acheron
Ferrum Fero Ferro Ferror.

The Sword of Justice
Tomorrow we’ll cross the Holy Land
Land of light, the kingdom of France
Brothers, be brave it’s time to fight evil
Here they are, Lilith is back.
What a scourge, what a great shame,
How could they do this?
The answer is much simple, they are no longer human
So we look at their hands, they’re covered in blood.
It is time in these days to restore faith
In this wounded kingdom.
It’s time for the Lilies princes
To return to the kingdom of France
After crossing the seas to bring light
Cause we are the bringers of the Sword of Justice.
The Sword of Justice.
The fight is rough, we won’t surrender
To barbary and mind control
Under the mask of liberty’s splendor
They butchered so many people
How could we possibly leave, this filthy beast
Do the spell to call Lilith, this soul-drinking witch
Now we have to save them all, it’s already too late!
Their army outnumbers us but be brave,
We fight for this wounded kingdom.
The Sword of Justice.
— Watch! My beloved, this vain resistance,
They are so weak, and there is so many of us!
You worked well, I want to taste it so much.
France is ours, they have already lost.
The Sword of Justice.
— We fail.
