ACHING BEAUTY LYRICS
"One More Step" (2001 EP)
1. Sublimation
2. The Hundredth Name
3. Pendulum
1. Sublimation
I. Peter Pan Syndrome
( instrumental )
II. Steps
Now I tend to a day dream
Define a place where I could merge in
Hide away, and never let steps in the sand
Sublimate all what is
To free myself from the grip of time
Start again
Wish a swelling wind
Refuse the new habits and behaviours
Obey the core of my will
Reshuffle around, even closer friends
Leave the undesired behind
Disclose my scars instead of hiding them
Regenerated by fresh light
After childhood and the loss of illusions
Segue into the third chapter
I'll sail upstream back to my birthplaces
Hills of the Rhône would be my horizons
Fall to my knees, hands in the mossy grass
Light a bonfire under the summer solstice sun
Assessing all things done
Repent for those which should not have been
Start a quest, for a better being
Evolution leading me
As if I were what I am to be
Affirmative
Live a self-made way of being me
III. Endlessly
Each time, forgetting each time
The harm I can have done
Keeping thinking of merging through
May I recover one day
The spring I once lived on
That endless wind beneath my wings
Each time, forgetting each time
The virtuous world I thought
I could live in and refer to
Try hard towards my last flight
Stretch my feathers once more
Reaching further the hope that you live
Dry heart, it may be our last fight,
We'll eventually become
Rich together of all what we've lived
2. The Hundredth Name
Rising prophecies, assuring, frightening, comforting
A truth seems to rise from inevitable signs
Or do we see signs where we want to see them ?
This was written :
>
Ô The Great and The Judge, The Vengeful, The Omniscient
The last of His Names shall prevent us
God's aegis against God's wrath
Seeking for the Supreme Name,
The one no one can utter,
No one shall pronounce,
The Ineffable Tetragram
But there beyond the tome
Lies the imprecation :
Clouds and skies getting dimmer,
Blindness gets the reader
Ô The Great and The Judge, The Vengeful, The Omniscient
The last of His Names shall prevent us
God's aegis against God's wrath
3. Pendulum
Now, tell me why
I can suddenly fly
Sahara is where I hide
Constant is the feeling that I would survive
Today, I pretend I reached paradise
Pendulum will pass from dust to reality
I'll try to achieve my own fantasy
Water in my veins
Harmonious sounds surrounding me
I set you free, inside, hell flames summoning me
Screeches in my head
I can't defy those who deride me
That makes no sense
How comes the fact that I can't breathe ?
Constant is the feeling that I would survive
Today, I pretend I reached paradise
Pendulum will pass from dust to reality
I'll try to achieve my own fantasy
Far from the limits, never loose my head
As steam, I'll find my way, and feel no pain
The angel asked me, what if I thought ahead
Should I close my eyes, dream again ?
Standing in my empty grave, I stare at these eyes
Willing to cut the walls around me, I can't resign
Waiting for the release now, the end of all desires
Being the completion of a meaningless life
Shadows reflect their figure as a dim outline.
Confusing devices make me think I'm happier
Tell me why I feel so fine when I walk to the light ?
As the demons turn the page, I'm just crazier.
Constant is the feeling that I would survive
Today, I pretend I reached paradise
Pendulum will pass from dust to reality
I'll try to achieve my own fantasy.
