Lyrics

Science - the new aristocracy
Progress - the world is on the march
Why shouldn't it turn too?
It's the vision of numbers
We are moving towards the spirit
Certainly deserted: it's the voice of the oracle, what I say
Understand, and not knowing how to express myself without using hidden words
I prefer to remain silent

[Original excerpt from arthur rimbaud's "bad blood"]
Science! the new nobility! progress. the world progresses!
Why shouldn't it turn as well?
It's the vision of numbers. we advance towards the spirit
It's quite certain: it's oracular, what I say
I know, and unaware how to express myself without pagan words, I'd rather be mute
