A Corps Perdu

Since nets hold us
Since our reasons chain us
That nothing shines under our ramparts
And since we don't reach the sky
Unless we burn our wings
And follow the roads where we get lost
Like raising a flag

With abandon, drunk and unadorned
To no longer be the puppet of hope
And if life is just a lost cause
My soul is free to finally believe in it
With abandon

Since destinies are the same
That all roads lead us back
To the dawn of a new beginning
We learn nothing from our mistakes
Unless we burn our hearts
I will follow the roads where we get lost
Like raising a flag

With abandon, drunk and unadorned
To no longer be the puppet of hope
And if life is just a lost cause
My soul is free to finally believe in it
With abandon
With abandon

With abandon I will write my story
I will no longer be the puppet of chance
If all lives are lost causes
Men die for never having believed
For not having lived drunk and unadorned
Defeated soldiers in a war without victory

And if my life is just a lost cause
I will leave free to have at least believed in it
With abandon
With abandon...
