Tell me how do we begin this tragic tale When centuries of fear and hate have left a bloody trail And will there come a time we'll live to see When the sins of our fathers and mothers will cease to be Est-ce possible d'oublier, pourrons-nous nous pardonner ? Nos fils pourront-ils vivre de la mémoire des livres et du sang sous nos pieds ? Après les hécatombes, le cœur comme une bombe Au millieu des décombres, qui voudra venir au monde ? Priez debout, plus jamais à genoux Y a sûrement un homme assez fou Pour tuer les dieux qui nous déchirent depuis la nuit des temps Eye for eye, tooth for tooth Who among us will speak the truth So our children's children will live in peace somehow One hundred years from now Comment pourront nos yeux, rongés par la honte, trouver de la lumière, Pendant que la nuit tombe sur la fin d'un monde ? And can we really feel another's pain While the killing continues from Adam and Abel to Cain Eye for eye, tooth for tooth Who among us will speak the truth So our children's children will live in peace somehow One hundred years from now Priez mes frères, condamnez la guerre Qui brûle aux quatres coins de la Terre Priez pour tous ceux qui veulent venger leurs enfants Eye for eye, tooth for tooth Who among us will speak the truth So our children's children will live in peace somehow One hundred years from now, One hundred years from now.
