The Red Knowledge

This is why we read the runes
this is why the runes are so cold
this is why the runes are so old
In a burned village we were born
In a dark village we burn
our pain is a cage 'til we get lost
but we'll write another page with its
blood
the grace of our age is a flood
chorus :from the den of the past we're coming to conquer
from the green (red) mighty house
from the pit of passions
from the circle of fate
we're coming to conquer the green (red / white) knowledge
From a brown icy soil we were born
by a god with one eye we were burned
this world is our gift
'til we get loved
but we'll write another page
with its runes
the grace of our age
is our tune
chorus...
Dans un village en cendre nous lisions les runes
voilà pourquoi les ruines sont si vieilles
dans un village en cendre nous lisions les runes
voilà pourquoi nos ruines sont si vieilles
we're coming to conquer the white knowledge

avant, avant, avant
qu'il n'y ait le monde
pourquoi me dire cruelle ?
pourquoi ?
Je cherche mon visage tel qu'il fut
avant qu'il n'y ait le monde
avant, le monde, avant
if I make te lashes darker and the eyes more bright
and the lips more scarlet
and the lips more scarlet
or ask if all be right
from mirror after mirror
no vanity display no no no
I'm looking for the face I had before
the world was made
from W.B. Yeats poem "Before the world was made"

IT WAS A STRANGE JOURNEY IN A DEEP VALLEY
A MAN STOOD ALONE ALONE ON A BLACK ROAD
A GREEN BOTTLE IN HIS RIGHT HAND
A SHINNING KNIFE IN HIS LEFT HAND
A MAN STOOD ALONE ALONE ON A BLACK ROAD
BLACKER THAN HIS BLACKEST THOUGHTS
BLACKER THAN THE BLOOD HE SUCKED ON HER BREAST
HE SUCKED ON HER LEGS
WHY DID SHE GIVE HIM THE GREEN BOTTLE
WHY DID SHE GIVE HIME THE SERPENTS KING S RED HEAD
HER HAIR WERE AS BLACK AS THE ROAD WHERE HE STANDS
HER TEETH WERE AS WHITE AS THE BONES LEFT ALONE
UNDER THE SUN
HIS HEAD IS NOW SHIVERING
HIS BLOOD MORE HOT THAN THE WIND BLOWING FROM THE
SOUTH
HIS EYES MOVE FASTER AND FASTER
AND HIS FACE IS NOW TOTALY BURNED
O LORD HIS EYES BOTH BECAME BLACKER THAN COAL
AND THE DESERT GREW AND THE DESERT GREW THE GREY SAND IS COVERING THE ROAD
O LORD O LORD THIS IS WHERE ANTHARES REIGNS THE DEEP RED SHADOW KING DOM
WHAT DID HE INVOKE PURE SADNESS WHAT DID HE INVOKE PURE ANGER WHAT DID HE INVOKE PURE CRUELTY
BLIND NOW BLIND NOW HE FALLS ON HIS KNEES
and weep...

O migthy angel, so full of mercy
you hold the heart of the world
wrapped in your crimson wings
free from all pride, pure wisdom
is your shape,
your voices are flames
your songs are fire
You crimson angel lead us to the heart, this body seeded
with light deep within the body
ange plein d'harmonie, tu ignores les cris
crissements et dissonances sont étrangers à ta danse
O migthy angel, so full of mercy
you hold the heart of the world
wrapped in your crimson wings
free from all pride, pure wisdom
is your shape,
your voices are flames
your songs are fire
You crimson angel lead us to the heart, this body seeded
with light deep within the body

Lonsai Maïkov Rennes, France
The dark Apopkalypse began in 1988.
Band's name and sign revealed themselves in the fog of dreams and noises (at the
time Thierry Jolif was bass player in a local noisy-cold-wave band, Mortus Delirium). A certain obsession with extremes avant-gardes & European mythologies as well as spirituality leads him in sonic indus experiments as well as folkish tunes, harsh, poetic and low-fi.
