"Après Moi..."

[wolven7]

I must go on standing
You can't break that which isn't yours
I, oh, must go on standing
I'm not my own, it's not my choice

Be afraid of the lame
They'll inherit your legs
Be afraid of the old
They'll inherit your souls
Be afraid of the cold
They'll inherit your blood
Après moi, le déluge
After me comes the flood

I must go on standing
You can't break that which isn't yours
I, oh, must go on standing
I'm not my own, it's not my choice

Be afraid of the lame
They'll inherit your legs
Be afraid of the old
They'll inherit your souls
Be afraid of the cold
They'll inherit your blood
Après moi, le déluge
After me comes the flood

Be afraid of the lame
They'll inherit your legs
Be afraid of the old
They'll inherit your souls
Be afraid of the cold
They'll inherit your blood
Après moi, le déluge
After me, the flood

Ferval'. Dostat' chernil i plakat'!
Pisat' o fervale navzryd,
Poka grohochushaya slyakot'
Veshnoyu chernoyu gorit.

Ferval'. Dostat' chernil i plakat'!
Pisat' o fervale navzryd,
Poka grohochushaya slyakot'
Veshnoyu chernoyu gorit.

Be afraid of the lame
They'll inherit your legs
Be afraid of the old
They'll inherit your souls
Be afraid of the cold
They'll inherit your blood
Après moi, le déluge
After me comes the flood

I must go on standing
You can't break that which isn't yours
I, oh, must go on standing
I'm not my own, it's not my choice

I must go on standing
You can't break that which isn't yours
I, oh, must go on standing
I'm not my own, it's not my choice

But that barely does it justice, so here: Regina Spektor - [Après Moi]

Available for seven days, then you'll have to obtain the album by your own means, and experience the other awesomeness, yourself.

A "thank you" to anarchette, for introducing me to Regina Spektor's music.

I'm always so damn torn by her stuff. One the one hand I think she's fantastic, on the other hand "Fidelity" became the theme for a particularly tragic break-up.

Yeah, I can see as her work could be a tableau of that sort...
