One Hundred Years From Now

Tell me how do we begin this tragic tale

With 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

 

And can we find a way to live and let live

When we know the hardest part is learning to forgive

 

Après les hécatombes

Le coeur comme une bombe

Au milieu des décombres

Qui voudra venir au monde

 

And who will be the first and who will be last

To admit that the future can never be lived in the past

 

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

 

So pray tonight pray we must

But prayers alone cannot build the trust

For all those people whose vengeance is their vow

 

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

rongé par la honte

trouver de la lumière

pendant que la nuit tombe

sur la fin d'un monde

 

How do we repair the damage done

To all of those who've known the loss

Of daughters and of sons

 

And can we really feel another’s pain

While the killing continues from Adam and Able 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 au quatre coins de la terre

Priez pour tous ceux

qui veulent venger leurs enfants

 

So pray tonight we kill the beast

That lives among us from west to east

And all the people whose vengeance is their vow

 

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
