To See

To hear you cry
From the first breath
From the first mouthful
Of oxygen
To see you be hungry
To see you look for the breast
That she'll take from you soon
To teach you how to live
To see the infinite
The infinity of sorrows
The infinity that empties
Infinitely
 
No thanks
No mercy
 
To see you crucified
By life and by the world
Streams of girls
To see it torn apart
To see you become
Yes to become death
Expert in assurances
A cemetery in waiting
 
No thanks
No mercy
No thanks
No mercy
 
To add to the world
Another mouth to feed
To add to the world
Another soldier another breathless1
To add to the world
Another banker another dreamer
To see the horror of it
To add to the world
Just another grave
To hear cries
Yeah millenniums
For you to understand
That we're nothing more
Than a perfection
Yeah of creation
Just a litter of dogs
Within reach of dogs
 
Sure that God is in us
When we end up underground
Eaten by the worms
 
Sure that God is in us
When we end up in Hell
Eaten by the worms
Eaten by the worms
I will write for you
To see the sea there
I will write for you
To see the sea there
To hear Rimbaud
To listen to Mozart
To see the boat there
To see the sea there
And your fulfilled mother
To see dreams there
To only see beauty there
Because it doesn't make sense
Because you are the sense
To tell me that you'll be
So much better than me
So much better than all that
 
To see the love
Of your first smile
The first incisor
To eat like an ogre
To eat our existence
For your first steps
For your first battle
For your first lunch box
For you first victory
For your first spring
For your first flower
For your first thorn
Your first tear in your heart
For your first girl
For the first caress
For your first love
Your first always
Your first I love you
Your first likewise
For your first love
For your first always
For your first I love you
For your first likewise
 
So you can make me believe
That it isn't all in vain
That we're here to have a laugh
That we're here for good
So you can make me believe
That it isn't nothing
That we're here to love each other
And to drink good wine
 
No thanks
No mercy
Yes thanks
Yeah thanks
 
A jerk in a 4x4
Under the sunburns
Say what will you become
A little bit of sky
A follower of decency
An activist of good
A money-maker
In the wicked abyss
A moon walker
An ivory hunter
Arms dealer in Afghanistan
A light in the evening
I observe glimmers
When I see your smile
In the stomach of your virgin
Who tells me the unknown
Who looks like hope
Who looks like hope
 
Yes thanks
Sure that God is in us
When we end up underground
Eaten by the worms
