Ses ongles sont tentaculaires et si elle vous prend par la main
C’est comme un orage qui vient rompre le silence

Prend garde au grand vent du nord attention je l’approche
Pour te mordre, te mordre
Se méfier de moi me paraîtrait bien judicieux
Pour t’éloigner du vice et de tous les maléfices
Si elle vous voit et qu’elle ne vous revenait pas
C’est qu’il reste encore une chance
(La femme)

Hante moi mon ange
Je suis l’ange ou le démon qui te mande et te parle
Quand sous la pression du silence tu saisi ta chance
Et essaie enfin de t’enfuir loin de mon influence
Et si elle vous voit elle qu’elle ne vous revenait pas
C’est qu’il reste encore une chance

Venez pour rompre le silence
La Femme vous tend sa main blanche
Vous la saisissez, ce sera le frisson de votre vie
