The opening 03:40
There's a place for people like us Where refractories have a say in the matter A place where equivocation is no use A place where freedom dresses again its original meaning So take off your skin And join the choirs Here comes the Legions We're comin' back home With the strength Of our dreams and hopes And we'll build A new world Upon yesterday's mistakes

My beautiful dead bride What has happened to you? Now you're on the other side How could I follow you? How could I take it easy? While my hopes are washed away The space you left behind you Is taking me out of breath I will burn their cities down in ashes As they burnt and throw your pieces Into the trashes I CAN'T HELP SINKING I CAN'T HELP CRYING REVENGE My beautiful dead bride Why did they take your life? How far did our world slide? In the abyss of our sins Neighbors are becoming strangers By the color of their skins Religions are now the leaders Of the cult of hate machine Couldn't they let us living in our world? But our love was outrageous To their conceptions I CAN'T HELP RAGING I CAN'T HELP GROWLING IN THE SILENCE OF THE CROWL My beautiful dead bride World's a castle made of sand Where people are paper pictures With a word for only content Each time a new idea rises Building may crash in flames The reign of homogeny Will bury any dreams Is that the world we were expecting for? Should I do something for change? Or let it self-destruct I CAN'T HELP THINKING I CAN'T HELP CALLING FOR THE AWAKENING

Divin' deep Slower pace Synchronize our heartbeats As if they were earthquakes Rearranging the landscape 'Cause today We celebrate a new born ocean Release us To the sea A long forbidden feeling For a long forgotten story Cage of ice Frozen Smiles Immaculate and white Everlasting like the blankness of our lives When we were dressed as human Before we grew these tails Before we grew these tails Emerging from the storm We're sailing Through the frozen fields of Space and time Snow's falling from the past We're lovers of the ice age Lovers of the ice age Melting in a kiss Then vanishing in the heat Of a million suns

Nintendhoax 06:12
The cold steel of your kisses Turn my skin in ashes In my dried out micro-processed heart Relations are exchanges Of electric flashes Of dying signals on computer walls Become one With the machine Your true inner self Is not what it seems I'd like to feel what you feel See yourself through your eyes I'd like to steal your soul and the heaven that's behind Was that the smell of terror? The cheap perfume that you wore Spread around your body as a spell you put on me The side effect of purity makes you Feel like a whore like the bride of the snake Adorning this red door Witches are dancing 'round the cradle Babies are ready for the battle Give them what they want these people are angry They want to see God telling them he's sorry Scissors all too sharp, all too smart, Your tricks are clever, but this game Is too stupid to last much longer The color of your eyes is forever changing Mistake is complete
5.
Eat me 03:40
Unknown species Dust from the stars A piano underwater Is playing who you are They say happiness can be shared But pain seems only for us The time you’re keeping in your box Is a future to unlock By your words Unspoken and shattered Sent by the wind I read the distance between us Man is a shark Pouring salt into your wounds And then the winds of life Will sail you away from home But caught from the jaws of the unknown Free hearts don't beat alone I heard you knew From the echo of the stars The meaning of it all : « There's no answer to our calls » Follow me I'll run away ; run away I'll follow you

I'm just a man like another Working all day to get richer I know the tricks and the rules I am the brain and people the tool I make money and I am proud Nevermind the way nor the blood I offer the crowd in sacrifice And if needed even my wife Cause there's a monster under my bed It's never gonna leave me asleep again None of the medics I take in vain Could reduce the fear neither the pain Sometimes late at night I see this shadow Growing on the window My flesh is creepy And I got to deal With the sins under the seal I'm looking for A sweet savior Who will free me from My due and boredom And everyday Offers a new way To dive deeper In the wombs of anger But there's none to relieve me No there's none to release me But these days strange things happened I can't get no rest I've lost appetite Stupid thoughts keep me awaken I feel so lonely and none's in sight My car is bigger than your flat But I don't understand my dick ain't longer My life's as empty as my heart And nothing I possess can fill it, this game is over (So you think it's over Couldn't it be Consciousness ?)
7.
I ain't no friends out of this place Don't even want to get some I lost my job I don't feel safe Don't even know where to go home Cause in this world I'm powerless But in your realms I'm a princess Looking in the Eyes of the beholder My will is always the stronger I'm not a freak neither a geek But it doesn't make any difference I got to hide I got to sneak So that I don't bother the audience Cause in this world I'm powerless But in your realms I'm a princess Looking in the Eyes of the beholder My will is always the stronger Wasting my half-life Rotting on this chair Your poison is rife And nobody cares I can't take my eyes off of your screen I know, I know it is not real Neither the people around me No need to sleep nor take a meal My spirit is free out of my body Few days will pass till someone realize My corpse is breathless by his side I wanted my life to be king size But I lost my soul during the ride Cause in this world I'm powerless But in your realms I'm a princess Looking in the Eyes of the beholder My will is always the stronger I'm blind when I see you I'm deaf when I hear you I'm dying to leave you But I'll burn if I stay with you Would you keep me a place with you in hell Wasting my half-life Rotting on this chair Your poison is rife And nobody cares I can't take my eyes off of your screen

Now it's time to take off my mask Consider the world for what it used to be Time after time and task after task I still got so much to see Romeo had his Juliet And Mercutio paid the price As Ophelia for Hamlet Much about nothing Just fire and Ice The good and the bad always become the ugly And beyond the mask it's always the same story The shame is for one and for the other glory But where is the truth under all this fury It's not because you think that you can be helpful That at last evil won't use you as a tool Good thoughts build the road to the darkest day Just ask Jacob about his stairway We use to see as heroes People who are reaching their goal Rather than licking their shoes Shouldn't we clean up the charcoal ? But I don't know And I don't really want Take off you mask Pretty little liar And now you've seen me takin' off my mask Consider my face without any pride Scar after scar and upon my mistakes I still got so much to hide

Monster 05:07
Spirits have vanished in the sky Learning the giant node of feathers and knives Twisting and turning in the air Recall the time when circle used to be a square The albino is not to be killed Tears of the white buffalo hit the field Here comes the oblivion express It will not take you to the west So lay your head down on the track To hear the echo of the train Carrying the legend to its fall They hold you to cut your throat So the spirit of redemption could escape In the scream of an animal We give you its name That's the wild child you became Here comes the oblivion express It will not take you to the west So lay your head down on the track To hear the spirit of the rain Carrying the brave down to his grave Ladies and gentlemen, enter Potato Bill, the greatest buffalo hunter of the hill, hell yeah ! Do you want french fries / with your dish Do you want french fries / with your fish Do you want french fries / with onions Do you want french fries / or with bacon Do you want french fries / with your eggs Do you want french fries / with chicken Do you want french fries / with a steak Do you want french fries / or with buffalo Do you want french fries / with indians Do you want french fries / with negers Do you want french fries / with asians Do you want french fries / or with my wife ! Little train little train can your hear me comin' Conquistadors of the world We've made it burned in ashes Planted a sword in heaven To drink its wine while it bleeds
10.
Schizodrone 04:44
Fatal hemorrhagia As you were making love Spilling all your cranial juice All over her naked body Terminal fragmentation Of your diseased conscience Mental rotor schizodrone Spiraling for eternity How many of you are inside me? Call us legion now The many bloody thoughts you drained In my hemophiliac brain Channeled your spirit in my veins Subconscious river turned to red I'm lost for words drowned in my head I bite my tongue until it bled Stay a stranger to yourself A stranger to yourself A stranger forever
11.
Would you give me your confidence If I suicide your childhood Even if teardrops burn your eyes And open them on the grave Elderkruegger is everywhere (Fear runs in neighborhood) Layin' on his liar chair (In my cave) A family friend good looking and fair (I'll suicide your childhood) Silently making his dirties affairs I know Hansel & Gretel have burnt the witch But now it's time for the freaks to avenge their selves And shall come a day I'll show them the way We'll be called legion by your religions Armies of layers will open the road Everyday further we'll be the lords of the crowd Would you give me your innocence For three bucks of illusion The rope that leads you will hang you down Under the Hallellujahs' Oh oh, my sweetest child Santa Claus Is gonna punish tonight Oh oh my dearest friends Do you wanna see the freak in the mirror Can't you see the black clouds around me Can't you hear the silence of pity No mercy for you and me In the veins of ordinary people Flows the spring of ordinary violence No more innocence Can't you find a way to stop that Can't you take your reason for a guide Light's not so far But you killed the bringer Come and burn all you people 'Cause I am the butcher the inquisitor of your dreams Come and burn your illusions For you won't need them anymore into my realms
12.
Redemption 03:58
I'd like to go back make our Life happier and I would defeat the fate And its sisters of laughter I'd like to hold you Till' the end of time but I can't my arms are broken Under the weight of my sins Would you forgive me For the time I've lost On the wrong way

about

This album is a tale about difference. All begins with the death of the bride, and then the slow dismantlement of the narrator's mind until he becomes the monster upon the monsters : Elderkruegger.

Founded upon the ashes of the band Data Princess in june 2005 by Charles & Marc, Call U.S Legion has been created to realize a phantasm : composing without technical, neither stylistic, nor instrumental constraints. With the help of computer, any idea was easily recorded and worked at the best moment.
Six years later, Charles is alone with all this matter and a full album is growing. As he wants to go back on stage, he adapts the titles for live performance and recruits musicians. Today, Call U.S Legion on stage is Adrien at guitar and choirs, Nicolas at bass guitar, Charles at guitar and lead vocal, and a few machines, giving a solid and baroque rock between électro, progressive, symphonic and stoner accents.
Titles speak of freakiness, feeling mecanisation, virtual addiction,... using dadaïst et surrealist imaging to descript the world and the absurdity without judgment.
