Rock, sea and tree by Machiavel (Marc Ysaye - Albert Letecheur) Hidden in the shelter of the winds of torment A rock and a tree were riding high On a current of infinite nebula From time to time, the sea With maternal gentleness Caressed the dreamy lovers with her foam You know tree, there is beneath me The power of the infernal Gods You see rock, above me Billions of angels in heavenly chorus We are the power and the glory edified To defy all men and all Gods The platinum armour we erected In the wisdom of the third wave Will never die...

What does she want of us?" "She 's going to destroy! Stop sea! Stop it! " But she fell upon them in thunderous roar And in seconds they were no more! They felt torn apart In the depths of sorrow And that bitter truth which was theirs What remained the atrocious spectacle To perceive each other thousands of miles apart Separated by myriods of vengeful crystals Which banished them forever From the garden of Eden "Do you know why I'm floating" Cried the rock to the tree Who felt oppressed by tons of evil liquid The tree was silent There was nothing to say In another place, a tiny stone and a tree shoot Were grooving together And eternally they repeat these words: "Jupiter, Neptune, and you the sea Your wish will never be..."
