The moon is full
It's 12:20
In the streets surge
These crowds of divine debris
Need to be crazy
Not to end up insane
It's a little crazier
I see the seasons pass
I keep a low profile so they don't touch me
I see broken people
The noise their old soul makes proves it
They pretend to be okay
But in their bent backs
They all have flaming arrows (hmm)
In these gigantic living cemeteries
I know that three quarters of the people won't be for it
Even if I only address talking statues
Even if hundreds of them court me
Even if I know that every passing minute
Brings me closer to the day they'll come for us
Even if I'm just a talking statue myself
But I write love songs

But I write love songs
Even if I know it's no, yeah
Even if tensions add up
Even if the desire to kill devours me, yeah
I let life take me and I savor
Damn what a setting, yeah
I passed by the lake dug by an ancient meteor, yeah
But I write love songs
Even if I know it's no, yeah
Even if tensions add up
Every day I hear the hatred of others
Even if my dove sees red
Even if it's my last flight, yeah
I write love songs
You look at me as if I'm casting spells on you (love songs, yeah)

The moon is full
It's 12:20
Damn where are they
These damn voices telling me "come"?
Need to be crazy
Not to become insane
Who can hold this gun for me?
Every night, I dream we're waltzing
Under a rain of metal in slow-motion
I know deep down that this dream
Is premonitory, here too many want to watch it end
Waiting to see these divine debris declare war on each other (hmm)
I lock myself up and write love songs
Look at my shadow burning on the ground
I wrote this one especially for you, yes
Even if, I admit, I can't remember your name
I do this to dilute human madness
Why does it bother you, why are you getting upset
I can swear that you love me too
And that for now you don't know it yet
I do this with radical love
Enough to set these poor cities on fire
While this world uproots our soul
Under the gaze and screams of a silent sun
Word of divine debris, I will sing
That's what my life will be used for
Even if all around us, hell settles in paradise
Even if the demons of war charm me
Even if I'm just a master of arms
Hello from my pair of sabers (hmm)

But I write love songs
Even if I know it's no, yeah
Even if tensions add up
Even if the desire to kill devours me, yeah
I let life take me and I savor
Damn what a setting, yeah
I passed by the lake dug by an ancient meteor, yeah
I would write love songs
Until there's nothing left
Even if tensions add up
Even if burning everything could do me good
As long as there's heart in this low world
I feel the little humanity left in me
Have the balls to be and not just appear human (Gilles)
