The Grand Expedition Lyrics

After all those years of wandering After going round the world I'm still following in a ghost humanity tracks In this valley of dying stars I'm ruining myself on this broken jaw of our lost kingdoms Sightless, shapeless Monsters' voices coming out the soil Auditory, olfactory, tactil, taste and visual hallucinations Blurred reality, zero-gravity, this no-man's land is a deadlock Here on the road I'm walking dead in a film without scenario

I'm that "shape without form, shade without colour Paralysed force, gesture without motion"

I'm no longer even a presence I'm the shade of nothing This semblance of life underneath my eyes Is the last ghost of an extinct humanity This vision of paradise can't be here into my eyes All this decor is a fake or a liar This piece of Eden can't be a part of my burden This whole repeated performance was to make me believe that I'm back to square one But it's just an illusion On the road again I'm walking dead in a film without scenario

I'm that "shape without form, shade without colour Paralysed force, gesture without motion"

If only I was someone I would feel myself I don't even know my name and the Where of my origin I'm growing away from you

I'm on the road but I can't explain the how and why of it The meaning of this life is still going away from me While death is so close to me I do not hope to hope again that I could understand the essence of my loneliness
I walk alone through burned sensations The entire world escapes me

Why should I mourn the loss of my faith in a happy ending I do not hope to turn the page again of this tragic story Oh I don't even know my name How I could understand the essence of my loneliness

Where are the people who saved my life And abandoned me in this oblivion? Where is civilisation? What are these empty places? These devasted lands I can't say anything or put a word on things I feel so lonely in my waste world

Yeah, all is so confused in my head I couldn't face the essence of my loneliness I do not hope to turn the page again on this tragic story Yeah if only my heart were stone I would kiss my fate But lips that would kiss form prayers to the broken stone

Please take me Please take me Please bury me Please bury me

My broken bones The broken stones This land is my Bruges-la-Morte I'm walking dead through this charred land But I don't know where to go There is no scenario

I regain my strength I breathe I regain consciousness I travelled too far and take too much time to come back home Come back to my fragile life "I could not speak and my eyes failed I was neither living nor dead"
