Par la meurtrière
Guette l'ennemi
Guette l'amant
après la colline
J'y suis
Par la meurtrière
Guette l'horizon
Guette la vie
Je n'attendrai pas l'automne
Ses sonates à mon sonotone
Je n'attendrai pas
Que s'abaisse le pont-levis
Je suis les ils
Je suis les elles
Je suis la ficelle qui se tend
Je suis pas cruel
Juste violent
Par la meurtrière
Guette l'infidèle
Guette l'indécis
Après la colline
J'y suis
Par la meurtrière
Guette l'hérésie
Guette la vie
Je suis le miel
Je suis le fiel
Je suis la ficelle qui se tend
Je suis pas cruel
Juste violent
Je n'attendrai pas qu'on me sonne
Je n'attendrai pas qu'on me pardonne
Dussé-je boire l'eau des douves
Dussé-je croiser le fer
Avec ton majordome
