'The fall' by Trendance

You majestic Sun, Master of the Universe
Around which every star turns! You H.,
Tireless traveller whose pride is to fly around
And that by all ancient peoples has always been revered...
What a fall!What a shamethat your own child
Was turned insane by a Pagan creature;
And Pasiphae gave the City through the Sea-God's curse
A fearful and terrible monster, Death in a maze!

'A Kamikaze's sigh' by Trendance

At last, the bell has rung and I am
To climb the Sacred Mountain!
I glide like the tide
To the end of the shore.
My Soul longs to purify all my earthly sins...
But my body can't help chilling!
And outside I can see through the glass-panes
Facing my wings shining like sharp blades
The clear darkness of the new and ultimate dawn
That is gently calling my name...

'Ode for a birthday' by Trendance

The Angel flies smiling with its whitest smile,
The Sylvan creature dances in a joyful frenzy;
The Old Man stares down,
And the Child looks up for the last time;
And today I bow to you, you the ephemeral Queen
That so short a day has crowned!

'Death of a shooting-star' by Trendance

Somke in my head and the River runs straight
Senses turn crazy like burning coal in dry grass.
I slowly burn alive. Have you eveer heard of spontaneous combustion?
I enter another sphere and I am like fucked up.
Psychedelic colors, dizziness and Jimi's screams!
The bridge collapses, I spread my wings and I fly over the seven seas.
But the word 'terminus' appears, on the screen and I jump
Both feet in an endless and greedy black hole...

'Exodus' by Trendance

Touched by the Ancient Mariner's arrow,
Alone among my people, isolated in the crowd,
I am here waiting for something to come!
The noise of the waves, the smell of salt,
We stand on a quay, silent and still.
Drops of water through my soul, a haze in my eyes...
The black veil has fallen, fallen down on my life
And the white fog has wrapped up my name.
Only the echoes of the Past ring in our memories
Like the icy bell of the knell.
Charon's boast is coming!The underworld's bottom appears!
Blood, tears and sweat, relics of the body,
We enter the glommy belly of darkness.
I just think of myself as a stone
But I am here in the hold,
Washed away by the Black stream of treachery
My eyes to the missing moon, I can feel its icy light
That guides the fateful steersman who sails to this isle,
This white-hot stone of my eternal nostalgia.

'Black and blue' by Trendance

They say the day eclipses the night, that peace succeeds fights.

But I still can’t see any light, nor can I glimpse that things straighten out.

I look up below the clouds, nothing stirs, no one in sight.

No loving gods, no leading fathers, no inspiring models –

only the chilling shadow of high risers, the statues and streetnames of long-forgotten achievers

And the unattainable obsessing dreams behind glossy screens.

My lost planet orbits shopping centres, abusive girls and jumping jacks.

Will older age improve my gloomy blight? But in the meanwhile,

Surrounded by teachers, social workers and police officers,

‘Today, today – is it eventually going to be the day

When I forget yesterday and do not dread tomorrow?’

'Ante magnus somnus' par Trendance

O fidèle, Tu es étendue, lasse mais placide,

Marquée au fer exalté des caresses et des coups

A l’heure où le temps n’a plus de prise, plus de prix,

Où l’ambition, la surprise ne sont plus de mise

Où comme dans le sablier les souvenirs se bousculent et s’amoncellent

Amitiés sincères et amours amères, liens pérennes et rencontres éphémères

Où regrets et remords viennent subrepticement hanter l’âme

Que n’ai-je pas eu le courage de vivre plus intensément? N’étais-je donc pas spécial ?

Entourée des Miens, ô Compagne, tu es au grand rendez-vous de la Solitude

Toi, Mon enveloppe, Mon armure, qu'il me faut maintenant quitter.
