Vae Victis Lyrics


Do you remember why you didn't want

To send me to school last September ?

All these disappearances without explanation

All those bodies found mutilated, cut up

My friends missing, their remains uncovered

And my companion, forever lost without a trace

A brotherhood we built

Then we searched,

For months and months,

But we never found anything

Other than buried remains,

Other than dismembered bodies

From despair to hope,

From burials to illusions

We were sparred nothing,

Everything was atrocity

Who might have done this ?

And finally an idea !

We had to set him up

In our school bring him,

A prey we would give him

To finally see the beast within

We were all armed

And for a long time we waited

And finally I saw him, we all saw him

Alone I was before my suffering

I screamed, I yelled, it couldn't be

But nothing had to be done, there he was

Oh father, nothing can fix

What we've done this day

There was nothing I could do

He was my brother !

There he was, my brother !
