I guess you crossed the line I guess you crossed the line Some mourn their dead in the name of peace Casualties of “survival of the fittest” Torn roots and plundered land Some mourn their dead Some try to understand A vicious circle on bruised land Mix of blood and tears Victims of victims “The Holocaust can not excuse Zionist injustices” Compassion is not a one-way path. This is not suicide, just a slow-motion genocide "A land without people for a people without a land" No sooner born than dead, No chances on a deathbed This is not suicide, just a slow-motion genocide Children see their future as a destroyed city --------- This song is dedicated to my Grand Mother who made me understand that rejecting with strength and conviction the Israeli Government's policy of repression over the Palestinian people wasn't synonym with antisemitism or lack of respect towards the victims of the Shoah. She was Jewish of Religion, and Pro-Palestinian of reason, even though she was outraged (just like me) by the suicide attacks perpetrated by the Hammas. This is about oppression, and submission of the Palestinian people, which is not caused by the will of the Israeli people, but by the cupidity of its political leaders supported by international superpowers. Its roots come from Zionism, its roots come from the Western post-war nations who decide of the fate of an entire people from their comfortable chairs. -Nicolas Read: “Chomsky Notebook” by Jean Bricmont & Julie Franck (2007) Watch: “Occupation 101” by Abdallah & Sufyan Omeish, (2006)

Exile Life 01:54
Tyranny needs scapegoats souls in exile, a threat to liberty a footstep, an unfulfilled angst friends and family left behind, with both hands broken when hopes and fears, are shipped to the unknown. By land or sea , through dust and foam screams muffled by silence and blindness screams muffled by silence and blindness immigration has no name, only echoes of a life left behind like a long insomnia, where coming back ends in forgiveness judging without knowing, blaming the victims Our silence obliterates what we shouldn't accept There's no “social link” when families are scattered compassion over indignation ------- For the past few years, Europe has seen a rise of xenophobic attitudes that in turn spread to the political climate of many countries. We are transitioning towards a culture of rejection that's getting more and more hostile. Too often, immigrants are blamed for all the wrongs in our society. Finger-pointers tend to ill-portray immigration as a money-driven process at the expense of the “native citizens” (whatever that means). Most of these people are out of touch with the reality of immigration that is the family dismantling, uprooting and cultural alienation immigrants often have to go through. It's only a matter of time until we're all in exile

May this cold wind never blow again The past shining through generations She escaped, he did not Another so-called "unworthy of life" Survivor of the Final Solution Looking at the shadow's victims engraved in stone A never-ending last cry for the gone Itinerary in the darkness Crushed, packed and terrified Thuds and cold. Bleeding hands. Obscure feeling of death Opening of the train doors and shattered hopes The human tragedy at its worst Holocaust denial, blinded by ashes fall Nostalgic of the T-4. Murderers of the truth Waiting for another chance. Hate-mongers, let them burn "Chosen people" watch your back From the darkness of the past. Persecution from first to last It takes generations to heal But how far can your bruises legitimate your beatings? ----- The T-4 Program was an Euthanasia Program designed by the Nazi regime in 1939 to exterminate physically and/or mentally deficient children & adults during WWII. It marked the start of the use of Gas Chambers for systematic exterminations. Tackling the subject of The Holocaust is nothing new, between all the movies, books, articles, etc. it seems we've seen/heard it all. But the testimony of a member of your family directly involved, who makes you “relive” the dark moments of her youth, who tells you about how she saved her mother and others; can move you in other ways. Others, like her father weren't so lucky and never left the extermination camp. This is merely remembrance; a reality check for the negationist speeches out there. Never again.

"I've seen another world. Sometimes I think it was just my imagination" I saw a house but it's not my home torn between hope and storm Are we just flesh with no goal, no destiny? Reality distort our hopes while mankind tries to rise from its own suffering Your so-called redemption will burn on that cross, waiting for a heaven-sent remission So pray hard for salvation, For the end of the world is near, “brother”! Downfall of Giants How long will we submit ourselves? You demand our souls to satisfy your ego and be in control, under your law Our will can destroy everything you believe in, all your efforts and sacrifices A sole idea can keep me on, a relentless addiction You'll die alone, forgotten by everyone Your ideology drowned in a sea of blood I want to lead and create, What others will never do for me The spirit of dissent. I accept my partial ignorance. No need for absolute truth The mystery of being, the essence of life, my life lost in the limitlessness of time How many times will history have to prove you wrong to break your waiting game? I see my own world. I leave the rest to my imagination. ----- “I do not pretend to know what many ignorant men are sure of.” - Clarence Darrow Read: “The Antichrist” by Friedrich Nietzsche (1988) Read: “The book of Atheist Spirituality” by André Comte-Sponville (2006)
