lyrics

They’ll shine for everyone / A purpose to fabricate
Some idols to dominate / Chosen for faithful tone

Look up, watch the new moon / Calculate long distances
Deduce accurate stances / A temple will be built soon

We are pleased to present to you the great achievements of humanity

Oh, is this real? I fell like I’m in a dream
Sure it is! You’re doubtful? I’ll tell you the Gods’ story

Flaming ceremonies / To celebrate our beasts
Maiden burnt by the priests / That made us bend the kness

We were pleased to present to all the great achievements of humanity
Now we’ve been destroyed and our story hidden under the hills and the trees

Our remaining marks / Are engraved / On the statues / Of the ancient fauna

Oh, is this real? I feel like I’m in a dream
Sure it is! You’re doubtful? I’ll show you the History

They’ve shined for a few ones / An ancien dream to hate
False idols to negate / Frozen in time then flown

Their remaining marks / are engraved / On the statues / Of the ancient fauna
The living sharks / Endangered / Give us some clues / To find a past trauma

They were pleased to present to some the great achievements of History
Then they’ve been destroyed and their story hidden under the hills and their trees
They tried to cure their wound while being tempted by the modern pleasures
We’re all made of flesh and bone, time to say goodbye to the stone animals

Goodbye is not farewell / Animals ain’t monsters
We’ll keeg going on wanders / History, eternal
