Name: Triumph of life
Duration: P00H03M56S
Description: The last song of this depressing album had to be positive, right ? Almost 10 songs about death and grief called for a hymn to life. So I wrote this song about my two daughters. A lighthouse in the dark, a future to counterbalance the deaths around me. They are the best things that ever happened to me, as cliché as it may sound.

about

The last song of this depressing album had to be positive, right ? Almost 10 songs about death and grief called for a hymn to life. So I wrote this song about my two daughters. A lighthouse in the dark, a future to counterbalance the deaths around me. They are the best things that ever happened to me, as cliché as it may sound.

lyrics

I didn't want a kid
That's how stupid I was
Your mom has always been
Much smarter than I was

On this snowy day
You came out of the void
I loved you outright

I didn't want your sis'
That's the kind of fool I was
She's such a little storm
Yet such a little bird

If life made any sense
I'm not sure what it was
Then we hug in pyjamas
And the beauty of the world says :

No more rainy
Death like days
With my baby
In my arms
Light's suddenly brighter
The dawn is here
Break through the clouds, the glorious
Triumph of life

You wake me up at night
And fight over a toy
You wake me up at dawn
And broke my crumbling back

Yet not a single time
Did I want to go back
Well, maybe once or twice...

My love for you my girls
Is to the end of times
I'd annihilate the world
To shield you from its rage

It keeps amazing me
How soft your skin can be
Gracious, you are not
No, you are grace embodied

No more worries
Late at night
I love you babies
In my guts

Light's suddenly brighter
The dawn is here
Break through the clouds, the glorious
Triumph of life
