RESTING WALL – ALBUM (2020)
ELDER ONES

Tonight I crawl,
But I’m not the only one
To know I’m home.
When the light is low
And I cannot see the sun,
I know I’m on my own.

Tonight I crawl,
But I’m not the only one
To know I’m home.
When the light is low
And I cannot see the sun,
I know I’m on my own.

I don’t feel like I’m left behind.
I won’t kneel on a muddy ground.
‘Cause I know, deep down,
I will be just fine.
Yeah I got, deep down,
My beloved elder ones.

You said you’d never go,
You knew I would ask for more.
I try to carry on,
‘Cause now I can’t ask for more.
‘Cause now I can’t ask for more.

I don’t feel like I’m left behind.
I won’t kneel on a muddy ground.
‘Cause I know, deep down,
I will be just fine.
Yeah I got, deep down,
My beloved elder ones.

 

(Jean-François Moortgat / Brice Sibille / Valentin Queval) 

HARD TIMES

So you know, it happened in the end,
The river stopped to flow.
So it goes, the curses of the trail
That we all choose to follow.
When the waves are crushing all your walls,
And you fight the tide in vain,
All it takes is to rise up when you fall,
And hide away from the rain.

But I’ve heard the better ways are steep,
And the brave are found in the deep.

My hard times have come to an end.
I won’t let go until I’ve written my name.

I explode my rocket on the way
To a new and wilder coast.
Oh, the joy that’s filling me today
As I land where I needed most.

But I’ve heard the better ways are steep,
And the brave are found in the deep.

My hard times have come to an end.
I won’t let go until I’ve written my name.

My hard times have come to an end.
I won’t let go until I’ve written my name.

So you know, it happened in the end,
The river restarts to flow.
The river restarts to flow.

(Jean-François Moortgat / Brice Sibille / Valentin Queval)

HEY CHIEF!
Hey chief, who are these men
Who wreck and burn our lands ?
Their bows are made of steal.
We die and joy they feel.

Hey chief, they’ve got my son.
I don’t know why they run
Into our lives in peace.
They smile in the middle of the screams.

Please chief, I don’t wanna die
By my greedy fellow ‘s hand.
Please I kneel, I hope that their pride
Will avenge me and my land.

Hey chief, I shot a child
A lot younger than mine.
Show me gold I kneel.
They die and now we steal.

Hey chief, I do what I’m told.
I teach in the name of God.
The blood displace my ink.
They learn and their end they seal.

Please chief, I don’t wanna die
By my greedy fellow ‘s hand.
Please I kneel, I hope that their pride
Will avenge me and my land.

Please chief, I don’t wanna die
By my greedy fellow ‘s hand.
Please I kneel, I hope that their pride
Will avenge me and my land.

(Jean-François Moortgat / Brice Sibille / Valentin Queval)

DUST AND SAND
Well I carry on today
‘Cause I wanna see the world,
See it all.
Call me wise again,
But only when it’s done,
When it’s done.

And your whispers
Are carrying out of sight
The shadows of my doubt
Tonight.

Again and again,
We’re made of dust and sand.
A drop in the rain.
Nothing in the end.

So I spend my given time
Learning things I didn’t know,
Did not know.
Freedom is a crime,
But only when you’re bold,
When you’re bold.

And your whispers
Are carrying out of sight
The shadows of my doubt,
Tonight.

Again and again,
We’re made of dust and sand.
A drop in the rain.
When silver and gold
Were made to be ignored,
The drop still remains.
Nothing in the end.

Again and again,
We’re made of dust and sand.
A drop in the rain.
When silver and gold
Were made to be ignored,
The drop still remains.
Nothing in the end.

(Jean-François Moortgat / Brice Sibille / Valentin Queval)

HOPELESS SONG
In this long cold night,
Are we going ? Are we going to shine ?
When you held me tight,
Were you lying ? Were you lying to save the light ?

Like leaves which fall under the rain,
As lovers we know when love ends.

And we walk.
We walk alone
On this hopeless song.
But you keep telling me :
« It’s alright ».

By your own cold hands,
I am fading, I am fading tonight.
To these old black sands,
I am leaving, I am leaving to make it right.

Like leaves which fall under the rain,
As lovers we know when love ends.

And we walk.
We walk alone
On this hopeless song.
But you keep telling me :
« It’s alright ».

We’re just falling for one last time,
Don’t you deny.
I swear I’m walking on the line
Of my liberated mind.

And I walk.
I walk alone
On this hopefull song.
Now it’s clear to me,
It’s alright.

(Jean-François Moortgat / Brice Sibille / Valentin Queval)

MEETING IN THE DARK
Well I’ve once been told
That a sailor’s love
Cannot betray the great unknown.
Then my raft aground,
And you grab my hand.
So I choose to row towards you instead.

And now, I’ve been wondering how
I’ve sailed without a star in sight.

‘Cause I’m upside tonight,
As I come back
From my meeting in the dark
With the one
I could easily give my life,
Without a doubt.
‘Cause I’m upside tonight.
‘Cause I’m upside tonight,
Tonight.

Well I never thought
That I’d live this time.
That I’d find someone to rely on.
Then our ships crossed,
And a raging sea
Became the perfect place to be.

And now, I’ve been wondering how
I’ve sailed without a star in sight.

‘Cause I’m upside tonight,
As I come back
From my meeting in the dark
With the one
I could easily give my life,
Without a doubt.
‘Cause I’m upside tonight.
‘Cause I’m upside tonight,
Tonight.

(Jean-François Moortgat / Brice Sibille / Valentin Queval)

HOLD ME BACK
Walking down the streets,
You surprised me again.
I can hardly succeed in the end.
To forget about the sheets
That we both have shared,
I can hardly succeed in the end.

Don’t you dare to hold me back.
Don’t you dare to hold, hold me back.
Whispers are loud tonight,
Make me wanna hold on tight.
Don’t you dare to hold me back.

Chasing the ghost of a past
That I never had,
I haven’t got the right to be sad.
Failing to avoid the blast,
And erase the scars,
I haven’t got the right to decide.

Don’t you dare to hold me back.
Don’t you dare to hold, hold me back.
Whispers are loud tonight,
Make me wanna hold on tight.
Don’t you dare to hold me back.

Cause it’s hard for me to see that face,
And my scars are open up again.
Now your eyes, my dear, are staring at the flesh.
Cause it’s hard for me to take a bet
On a life with you, I know it’s fake.
And I know, it’s clear, it is for the best.

Don’t you dare to hold me back.
Don’t you dare to hold, hold me back.
Whispers are loud tonight,
Make me wanna hold on tight.
Don’t you dare to hold me back.

(Jean-François Moortgat / Brice Sibille / Valentin Queval)

BROKEN DAYS
The light, my dear,
Will shine on us.
I’ll give you the chance to believe
We’ll turn the rust into gold.

I know, it’s clear,
I know you must
Find the one to hold on to,
And will teach you how to dance.
So dance with me.

If you wanna let me down
On my knees,
Trust me, I will not drown.
I’d stand still.

I’ve crossed the roads
Of a hundred minds.
But you know you are, darling,
One of a kind.
I can feel your eyes
Tell me to fall back now.
But I know your cries
Will carry my memory.
Keep me in your arms.

If you wanna let me down
On my knees,
Trust me, I will not drown.
I’d stand still.

I’d find a way to make you stay.
I’ll take the night and turn it into days.
You’d find me dead before I’d walk away.

If you wanna let me down
On my knees,
Trust me, I will not drown.
I’d stand still.

(Jean-François Moortgat / Brice Sibille / Valentin Queval)

MILES AWAY
Well I’m miles away from the man you see.
From the one they wanted me to be.
Would it be the same if I heard a thing
Of the words they were screaming to me ?

Like a pouring rain on the driest ground,
Like a single one among a crowd,
I did not fit well so I tried to find
The burning torches of a sign.

And I know I can reach out for more
Than the quiet life you adore.

I spent years to find
The place where I need to be,
And I’ve walked a thousand miles
Only to finally be me.

Well I’m miles away from the boy we knew,
Now I finally got to find my truth.
So I take my step, like a real man do,
Shutting down the words comming from you.

And I know I can reach out for more
Than the quiet life you adore.

I spent years to find
The place where I need to be,
And I’ve walked a thousand miles
Only to finally be me.

I spent years to find
The place where I need to be,
And I’ve walked a thousand miles
Only to finally be me.

(Jean-François Moortgat / Brice Sibille / Valentin Queval)

BULLSEYE
The other night
You appeared under the light.
One glaze and you stiked
Through my heart, a perfect bullseye.

Shall I fall and miss a step ?
Run into walls full of regrets ?
I would never forget the night.
Through my heart, a perfect bullseye.

Should I fight,
And take left when you say right ?
The moment you’re in sight,
Take a shot, a perfect bullseye.

Shall I fall and miss a step ?
Run into walls full of regrets ?
I would never forget the night,
Through my heart, a perfect bullseye.

Shall I fall and miss a step ?
Run into walls full of regrets ?
I would never forget the night,
Through my heart, a perfect bullseye.

(Jean-François Moortgat / Brice Sibille / Valentin Queval)

SOMETHING ELSE
I wanna know how it goes,
Behind the great unknown of the bluest sky.
Tell me why I’m afraid to die,
When I don’t know what’s coming up for me.

And I’m looking for the books,
Where the pages are full.

My mind is open wide.
Show me what I can’t find on my own.
From the void between my cells,
I hear the voice of a million souls.
And I know I’m part of something else.

I wanna see the Saturn’s rings
Around my fingers while
I’m flipping through the emptiness.
Where life is a maze, continually changed,
The walls are made of something I don’t understand.

And I’m looking for the books,
Where the pages are full.

My mind is open wide.
Show me what I can’t find on my own.
From the void between my cells,
I hear the voice of a million souls.
And I know I’m part of something else.

My mind is open wide.
Show me what I can’t find on my own.
From the void between my cells,
I hear the voice of a million souls.
And I know I’m part of something else.

(Jean-François Moortgat / Brice Sibille / Valentin Queval)

RESTING WALL
Know that I belong
To the ones who walk on their own.
But I sure will need a little help,
Little help from a friend.
So when I stumble and I fall,
Be my crutches, my resting wall.
When all I need is a little help,
Little help from a friend.

From now on,
I won’t get lost alone in the dark.
From now on,
‘Cause I got my brightest light.
And all I need is a little help,
Little help from a friend.

As kids we want to grow old.
We got nothing but want it all,
When all I need is a little help,
Little help from a friend.

From now on,
I won’t get lost alone in the dark.
From now on,
‘Cause I got my brightest light.
And all I need is a little help,
Little help from a friend.
And all I need is a little help,
Little help from a friend.

Now don’t you let me go on my own.
Now don’t you let me go.

(Jean-François Moortgat / Brice Sibille / Valentin Queval)

FROM THE SHELTER – EP (2018)

LAND OF BROTHERS
Finding myself between rocks
And the river under.
My brother beside me.
Chasing a bridge on the roads
And now we hide under.
No borders to the see.

Now I see the man I wanna be,
And I breathe The air I wanna breathe.
Because we found this place together,
Let’s call it the land of the brothers.

Looking for joy in the pubs
And a place of wonders,
A feather in the tree.
Chasing a thousand bugs,
Keep on pushing harder.
No thunder behind me.

Now I see the man I wanna be,
And I breathe The air I wanna breathe.
I hope that we’ll stick together,
Let’s call it the land of the brothers

Now I see the man I wanna be,
And I breathe The air I wanna breathe.
Because we found this place together,
Let’s call it the land of the brothers.

(Jean-François Moortgat / Brice Sibille / Valentin Queval) 

MILLION BRAVE HEROES
See where you are
Close your eyes, and travel in time
Now picture this place thousands of years ago
Well nobody knows what was here,
Yesterday

A single life and here we are
The story goes, and turns into mine
And I feel the race of a million brave heroes
Writting down the words we were here.

For days and nights
In a cave under the ground
Waiting for the fire to arrive
Well nobody knows
This million brave heroes who were here
Yesterday

Lightning from the sky
Came down to Earth
In a cold dark night,
They were sitting ‘roud the fire
From now and then
The roads were made
Nobody knows, Nobody says
The name of the ones who stand

For days and nights
In a cave under the ground
Waiting for the fire to arrive
Well nobody knows
This million brave heroes who were here
Yesterday

See where you are
Close your eyes, and travel in time
Now picture their faces
Well nobody knows
These million brave heroes
From thousands of years ago
But we’re here
Thanks to them

(Jean-François Moortgat / Brice Sibille / Valentin Queval)

I FEEL GOOD
As the light tries to find its way
I shine as I walk through my days.

And I
Yeah I
I feel good

My sorrow, sometimes is back around.
But I borrow any joy that I find.

And I
Yeah I

I feel good
As I walk through my days
I feel good
Cause I walk anyway
And I
Yeah I
I feel good

No forest seems dark enough
And in my chest goes the air, then I’m though

And I
Yeah I

I feel good
As I walk through my days
I feel good
Cause I walk anyway
And I
Yeah I, I feel good

(Jean-François Moortgat / Brice Sibille / Valentin Queval)

COME BACK HOME
Grab this song in your hand.
Take a step into the wild, wild west.
Stab the pain in the chest.
Take a shot at the long, long game.

But don’t you wait
Until you forget
To come back home.

If you loose a piece of yourself,
Take a look at the wide, wide space.
Choose a light in the mess.
Take a pass on the long regrets.

But don’t you wait
Until you forget
To come back home.

(Jean-François Moortgat / Brice Sibille / Valentin Queval)

DOWN'S UP
The sun is rising down tonight
My mind is upside down
And you are driving me sane

You know, the world is shaped in square
I see the moon in the day
But I feel fine anyway

‘Cause you are
The one
That’s right
In my life

The snow is falling off the ground
My head is spinning around
And you take away the pain

The sea is darker than my soul
I’m swimming out of it all
But I need you anyway

You make me cry
When I’m sad
You make me laugh
When I smile

‘Cause you are
The one
That’s right
In my life

(Jean-François Moortgat / Brice Sibille / Valentin Queval)

FAREWELL
I walked on the battlefield
With spears on the ground
Fare thee well my friend

You hold a broken shield
Against the arrows around
Fare thee well my friend

And may we meet again
And may your feet
Find a way so it won’t be the
End, of the days
We shared and
Find your way
Fare thee well

One day you’ll stop the wheel
But let your faith make the bound
Fare thee well my friend

Now I see you kneel
With tears on my mind
Fare thee well my friend

And may we meet again
And may your feet
Find a way so it won’t be the
End, of the days
We shared and
Find your way
Fare thee well
And may we meet again
And may your feet
Find a way so it won’t be the
End

I walked on the battlefield
With spears on the ground
Fare thee well my friend

(Jean-François Moortgat / Brice Sibille / Valentin Queval)
