The sentinel

I sold my misery for a submissive voice
Deep inside me the sentinel could shine every single time
And the smiles were the same
 
Do we possess the hearfelt outcry, the truth or common sense?
You must be hearing only the beast
and its answers to your questions
 
Is fever an illegal opinion?
Was my grief a protest vote?
Would the sentinel who finds answers to my questions
be the beast, the beast or maybe the oppression?
 
My outcry is used as silence by those who burry compassion,
as self-importance by the stuck-up ones, by those who torch unanimity?1
When a smile dies for having smiled to public opinion
To this outlet, this holy splint2 I still could have said no
 
Is fever an illegal opinion?
Was my grief a protest vote?
Would the sentinel who finds answers to my questions
be the beast, the beast or maybe the oppression? (x3)
 
Just pack your tired old song, swallow your tears,
will the blame be put on love or hate?
 
I uttered this war cry, not as a traitor, but in its name
I extended my hand to hell
under your gobs of spit, I surrendered
 
Is fever an illegal opinion?
Was my grief a protest vote?
Would the sentinel who finds answers to my questions
be the beast, the beast or maybe the oppression?
 
  • 1. The sentence is barely understandable in French to begin with
  • 2. An "atèle" is a kind of monkey, so I suppose "attelle" was meant
