The Queen 04:41
Pieces of skin went blue Fragments of flesh & bones And still, look at you Your eyes are throwing stones Your people in front of you Knees down for the Scarlet Nun But still, look it through Your shadow scares the Sun If you’re the Queen Then I’m the Fool Playing the scene Where you sit and rule Thy reign falls apart Blessed be your stone-heart Thy tongue’s a rotten fruit And your love, a cold lie Now I won’t stay mute It’s just a long "Goodbye" Thy mouth’s full of trash Your Name is Mrs X Thy Kingdom is just Ash There shall be no Phoenix If you’re the Queen Then I’m the Fool Playing the scene Where you sit and rule Thy reign falls apart Blessed be your stone-heart.

Voyez ! Écoutez ! Admirez ! Il a suffit d’un murmure Suivi d’un vent glacé. Toi, la Grande Saignée (encore !) Toi, la Grande Saignée (plus fort !) Regarde tes enfants Et entends leurs prières Ils se noient dans leur sang Et l’impureté des terres. Toi, la Grande Saignée. Lépreuse est ta Main. Toi, la Grande Saignée. Pourri est ton Sein. Cachez vos filles Cachez vos fils Vos mères, vos frères et vos soeurs. Les trompettes sonnent Cesse donc de fuir Il n’y aura personne C’est l’heure de punir Sortez vos pelles, mes frères Ce sont vos espoirs qu’on enterre. Craignez ! Tremblez ! Repentez ! Sortez vos pelles, mes frères Ce sont vos espoirs qu’on enterre.

Ascend 03:41
Ascend The same path that descends And send The lovers to their end I’m crawlin' and crawlin’ and crawlin’. I’m beggin’ and beggin’ and beggin’ Love, let me drown Love, let me die Just like the perfume Of our teenage years Now the scent, the fumes Turned to shreds & fears (Let me die ! Let me drown !) Ascend The same path that descends And send The lovers to their godless end Ascend The same path that descends Let me drown ! Let me die ! Let me fucking die ! Hear me now please, I beg you Answer me now please, I beg you / Love, let me drown Love, let me die.

Haut & Court 00:48
Les traîtres, les lâches, les faux et les fous Les couards, les veules (ils sont à nous) Les fauves, les chiens, du mal comme du bien Dieu, les saints, l’élu (et les siens) Je les vois courir. Je les vois s’enfuir. Haut et Court (on les pendra !) Haut et Court (on les pendra !) C’est fini pour eux. Serrez les noeuds.

Heal my injury End my misery Blood is flowin’ And I can’t see no scarring Peal my roasting flesh And steal what you can’t thresh Now wound’s open Your cruelty has spoken Remove your knife Cause I can’t take the strife Mother of disgrace Erase that grin I can’t bear your face You won’t fuckin’ win. Now please, heal My blackened sky Let’s make a deal I live, you die You fucking bitch You teasing whore I’ll throw you in a ditch I can’t take it anymore I won’t forever bear these Unclean wounds

The Idiot 02:35
Speaking as a grown-up Yet thinking like a child Sure as fuck how to keep up As dumb as his smile He’s livin’ in a cave Acting as he’s told Being his own slave He’ll never grow old Big starry eyes Tongue hangin’ out Love, without a doubt At the end he cries Dude, you ain’t the wise guy Pointing at the (round) shape Glowing in the night sky You’re the bloody ape. Now, look and behold : Man has just become the monkey Eyes under a blindfold Now he’s just the whore’s junkie. Now, look and behold : Man has just become the monkey Eyes under a blindfold Seems like a lock without its key Wake the fuck up ! Now his heart is all took He’s teaching us a lesson But go open a book Learn about « Regression » Big starry eyes Tongue hangin’ out Love, without a doubt As hard as he tries… …At the end he cries. Now, look and behold : Man has just become the monkey Eyes under a blindfold Now he’s just the whore’s junkie. Now, look and behold : Man has just become the monkey Eyes under a blindfold Seems like a lock without its key Without its key.

about

À NOS REINES.

"The music that VAUTOURS has made here calls to mind a significant Daughters influence that can be felt through the music. But I say that as a compliment, the band never cross into rip-off territory.

They keep the whole runtime interesting and unpredictable, they'll throw a rock n' roll riff into the mix here and power electronics there. There's a cool little sludge section at the beginning of the track 'Ascend' as well. This band is good at keeping a listener on their toes.

The guitar work is really the shining point of this record though and it shows best within the more mathcore and post-hardcore parts of the release. The guitars have this tone brings to mind the new Portrayal of Guilt album in some passages and old school punk riffs in others.

VAUTOURS have made a genre-bending EP that is calculated chaos in the best way."
