Purgatory
04:52

It seems that this life
Must be lived
I imagined that moment sweeter...
Death kissing me gently
Karma has done its job well
I would have at least tried
I'm afraid when I feel
My soul leave my body
(fear.... lies...)
The fear under
My worst visions
Paralyzing
Scream on nothing
Cold on my skin
Tight throat
Breath ends
Packed heat
Lies to get out
You won't know
Deep down on me
Truth's too shameful
Lies just to be
Another one
Silent rage
And deceiving you
And deceiving you
It's so easy to appear
While the demons
Gnaw at me from the inside
Yet I think I loved one day
The fear under
My worst visions
Paralyzing
Scream on nothing
Cold on my skin
Tight throat
Breath ends
Packed heat
Lies to get out
You won't know
Deep down on me
Truth's too shameful
Lies just to be
Another one
Silent rage
And deceiving you
Pain is always here...
I am so cold...
When that day comes
The divine judgment is less heavy
Than being in front of our reflection
At least, I think...
Pain is always here
In my head there are chimeras
I'm so cold...
The fear under
My worst visions
Paralyzing
Scream on nothing
Cold on my skin
Tight throat
Breath ends
Packed heat
Lies to get out
You won't know
Deep down on me
Truth's too shameful
Lies just to be
Another one
Silent rage
And deceiving you
Purgatory is lived here and now
At each of our inspirations
Suffering is born from our fears
Death may put us to sleep
But will never calm us down
It'll happen again…

[Help] Me too

Around the cellar they know
These people out, they know and pretend
They know that they have seen nothing
Heard nothing
Will not say anything
I don't know in which church
They learned that
No one knows
No one sees
No one knows
No one sees
My open belly
You, who come from elsewhere
These wishes whose ardor pursues me
No!
Already your speeches wanted to tempt me
Go away!
Your languorous tunes cannot seduce me
Go away!
Hold your hand, fear my anger!
My belly open
Deep inside this terror
It's so bad
It hurts so much
Satyr, what do you do?
Your hand still dares
Satyr, hold your hand
Leave my veil in peace
In the name of the Gods
I tremble
It hurts too much
I'm naked, I'm screaming
Where to hide?
Where to flee?
I'm dying
Appease your wrath
Satyr, what do you do?
I signed my promise
Satyr, what do you do?
My belly open
Deep inside this terror
It's so bad
It hurts too much
Too much...
Now I live with this pain
But at least, I still can breath

Souls Of War
04:33

Waaaaaar
In that trench
I've been watching you
Each of your gestures
Resemble mine
What are you thinking
Handsome soldier?
We are united
In khaki clothes
Our fates are intertwined
Our fates are sealed
They say we are enemies
But I don't know you
I'm gonna kill you...
Your finger on the trigger
My life is yours
My finger on the trigger
Your life is mine
Your gun pointed at me
My life is yours
My gun pointed at you
Your life is mine
Weapon in hand
The tears runs down my face
I'm gonna shoot soon...
I'll cry when I'll take your life
My homeland decorates me
To have your death
What did you do wrong
To deserve my bullets?
War reduces the souls
In bloodthirsty monsters
Our fates are intertwined
Our fates are sealed
I'm gonna kill you...
But suddenly
My body falls to the ground
I'm bleeding
My body's writhing with pain
You shot me...
Me... I didn't dare...
I forgive you
You give me a present
You help me escape from this hell
You help me escape from this hell
In this sulphur odor
Blood runs out of my mouth
Mixed with tears on my cheeks
My soul comes to you
To kiss your forehead… Tenderly…

Bye!

I had to live with pain
The one who eats the head
Welcome to my bedroom
I wasn't expecting so many
And cry over my cold body
You are pathetic
I had to live with pain
The one who eats the head
No one gave me handout
To quiet my mind
A strong shoulder to cry with no shame
You turned me down
You did nothing
Now I am dead
And nothing can change that
I'm not going to follow the shadows
Who calls me softly
In this other world
Who calls me softly
You said I was just a loser
I had to live with pain
The one who eats the head
No one gave me handout
To quiet my mind
A strong shoulder to cry with no shame
You turned me down
You said I was just a no one's friend
I was sorry
Sorry to be here
To breathe your air
To exist
Remember, in a "bye"
I give you my despair
Remember, in your memories
Let my death be a reflection
Soon I'll be nothing
But a pile of ashes
You will come to entrust to my box
Your remorses gnawing at you
But I won't be here
I will just be a shadow
I will remind you
I was a loser
With no destination
Why weren't you here
During my dark hours?
I was in distress
You did nothing
In my darkness
You did nothing
Don't forget the light…

Witchcraft

I know your origin
Iron covered with seven colors
Sharpened by lightning during seven Fridays
Incensed with benzoin for seven nights
Believe my bewitching words!
All the meat you can swallow up,
Chew it up!
All the blood you want,
Suck it!
All the skin you covet,
Tear it apart!
All the bones you drink with your eyes,
Break them!
All the nerves you make run away,
Cut them!
At each angle a talisman
At each bend a formula
Such is the man of defilement
Such is the husband who plays with promises
Believe my bewitching words!
This wild desire some days
To mix blood and wounds
To the contracted gestures of love
And perceive under the bites
Who perpetuate the taste of kissing
The sobs of the mistress, and her groans
Harsh desires not appeased
Of my dark cannibal ancestors
If you come here, transgress the forbidden
Enter his belly
And ravage the eyes, the liver,
The heart, the virtue
Ask him to bow down
Believe my bewitching words!
Come to me life force
Torment spirit
Original spirit
I reach out to you
Who gradually emerge
From the darkness

Thoughts Of A Survivor
04:06

There was nothing psychotic about it
All his actions were conscious and controlled
I walked down the street
My eyes crossed yours
I felt a fright along my spine
And if I hadn't looked at you in that moment...
If we take the fear away
There's no reason to be afraid anymore
Everything happened very quickly
With extreme violence
You caught me then took away
Then nothing. The abyss.
If we take the fear away
There's no reason to be afraid anymore
I woke up because I was cold
I was immersed in a bathtub of ice water
In the end, I remember thinking
"I'm worth something"
If I hadn't almost died because of him
I would never have understood
That there is nothing to fear
Except fear itself
We are mortal creatures
With impulses and consciousness
We are both strong and weak
Angelic and demonic
Both with a fresh hand
To calm a feverish forehead
And the raging hand
Around the throat
Who gives both life and death
"You have to get through this
You must survive
I've decided. I can do it.
No matter how hard life throws me
I can handle it...
I can handle it…"

A Few Words For Love
03:04
|

|
If somewhere you could stop
For a moment on my heart
If only you could stumble at random
On all the clumsiness of my sorrows
If one day you could only take a time
Without promise
Simply to discover that from you
I have so much drunkenness
The things that they knew how to destroy
To give me the nights of forgotten dreams
I was a fragile and broken heart
I hesitated for a long time
In perdition, in research, I was so bad
I wanted for a long time
To leave this world
Who no longer understands me
But the tenderness and the hopes
Which without you
Would not have kept me alive
I knew...
You were somewhere
Hidden
I felt you breathe...
As the sounds of our words
Resonate in the night
We have to make up for lost time
Time spent away from each other
Play with the eyes
Get confused
Words are scarce but it doesn't matter
Silence counts too, and we have all night
And I'm happy right now
That I can just look at you
I wish this moment never stops
I love what you are
And then there's something bright
Colorful, living
I find it attractive
I wish this moment never stop

Reign Of Lights
04:23

He runs...
He runs...
He runs towards his fate
Without ever looking behind
Is he looking or is he fleeing?
Is he safe or uncertain?
Is he trying to catch up or escape his destiny?
What its future looks like
Obvious or mysterious?
He makes an empire for himself
He is made of shadows or lights?
His time is limited
His choices must be up to the task
Is it a race against time
Or a race against fear?
He always runs...
Aims at the light straight ahead
Even though this quest is foolish
He runs to feel alive
He runs to feel alive
He runs through the centuries
But it's still the same story
He runs to feel alive
Is he afraid that the road will end
But this race is foolish
Hurry up! The shadows run behind!
In the vaults of unfathomable sadness
Where fate has already been relegated
Where never enters a cheerful ray
Where alone with the night, gloomy hostess
Where to cook with funeral appetites
Where to boil and eat the heart
Where is the beginning of perdition
Where there are only useless dreamers
Where problems are intractable and sterile
Where heat will never warm bodies
Where weariness brings rest
Where souls are empty
Where love doesn't exist...
Shadow or light
From the beginning we hope
Find in a smile
All the laws of the universe
Guided by the sun
Guided by the moon

Salvation
03:52

We have studied the lesson, well
We think we have lived everything
Done everything
But we didn't say everything
We are far from having felt everything
Facing the mirror, I crack a match
I invoke fire
I pray my mantras in a low voice
I shell them like a rosary
Soon we'll have to fight
And enter the arena
In dust, and sweat, and fury
Maybe I'll tremble
Hold me against you
We'll join the others
We'll take our place in this carousel
Watch madness regains its rights
Dancing like puppets
Flower in the gun
Smile in the corner of the lips
Head forward
Forget everything
Let go off your horses, drive them crazy!
Catching fury with your hands
Under the blows but love in the heart
The light is in each of us
Let it out, catch the thunder
You, who can hit so hard
We will soon be able to howl at the moon
Faced with the din
I have my strange rituals
Let go of your horses, drive them crazy!
Join me, I hold you against me
We will find the light
It's already there
It's already in us
Let go off your horses, drive them crazy!

Look at me, you're not in a porn movie!
Primitive anger burns in me
Out of control
Destructive force
I'm the one made for your pleasures
Like a fierce animal
Attack my prey
Peace on my face
Day after day
The control running away
Only the strong survive
You propagate
My addiction
Along the way
My hand is deep
Inside your body
Calculus of a disorder
Intrigates to my dismay
Of new sensations
Who's the victim?
I clean your clint
With my tongue
My hand on your mouth
Don't shout and shut up
You have to control
Your submission
My orgasm comes
When I make you scream
Obsessed by your sex
My anger comes back
When I feel your life
Leave this place
Between my hands
I need your existence
To fuck you again and again
You say I take your dreams
You say I'm fucking bitch
You say I possessed your life
You say you'll never be free again
You come out the beast in me
Hold me until the last breath
You say I joke with your life
Hold me
I'm the one made for your pleasures
Like a fierce animal
Attack my prey
Peace on my face
Day after day
The control running away
Only the strong survive
Day after day
You control my desires
Roles are exchanged
Day after day
You'll never be the same
You propagate
My addiction
Along the way
My hand is deep
Inside your body
Calculus of a disorder
Intrigates to my dismay
Of new sensations
Pain is my feel for you
Smile for me
The smell of your skin calls me
Cry for me
Your open hands calls me
Suffer for me
Your pretty pussy calls me
Burn for me
Sky is the limit

Akiavel France
In 2018, vocalist Auré, guitar player Chris, drummer Butch, and bass player Jay came together to create a sound distinctly
modern but with an appreciation for the old school death metal legends from the ‘80s & early ‘90s.
The band have always been quick to lay out the hits, showcasing their trademark sound: a mix of Groove, Thrash, Black and Old-school Death Metal.

A lot of bands play a dark, gripping, and deeply emotional sound, but no one does it quite like Gaerea. Ive loved all their stuff up to this point, but they have truly topped themselves with Mirage. I believe this album is a masterpiece.
