Mais où sont passées les lumières
Qui nous guidaient ?
Peut-être étions-nous trop fiers
Pour baisser la tête.
Le monde a tourné sans nous,
Sans nous attendre.
Les ténèbres sont partout
Couvertes de cendres.

Mais souviens-toi
Que l'on s'aimait quand même.
Nous étions si jeunes, si fiers
Et, comment le dire,
Nous avons perdu la lumière,
L'étoile qui caressait nos paupières.
Tout m'est égal.

Et quand même
On se souvient,
On se rappelle
De quelque chose
Qu'on pose près du lit,
D'une lumière
Qui brillait la nuit.

Mais où sont passées les lumières
Qui nous guidaient ?
Devenus statues de pierre,
Qu'avons nous fait ?
Les instants, comme des clous de fer
Qu'on enfonce
Et rien que le bruit de la mer
Pour seule réponse.

Souviens-toi, c'était hier,
Mais aujourd'hui,
Le lion secoue sa crinière.
Peur de la nuit,
Gratte le fond de la rivière
Où il venait boire.
Nous avons perdu la lumière.
Nous sommes dans le noir.

Mais où sont passées les lumières
Qui nous guidaient ?
Le lion secoue sa crinière
A chaque coup de fouet
Derrière les barreaux de fer,
Sans illusion.
Derrière les barreaux de fer,
De sa prison
