about

Inspired by the film "Incendies" by Denis Villeneuve

lyrics

just another spoil of war
you write a letter to another
simple math cannot stand it
but then again it doesn't suffer
not like your "just-another-number"
not like a mother

"Violante in the pantry
gnawing on a mutton bone
how she gnawed it
how she clawed it
when she felt herself alone"

and how the patterns all repeated
until they buried her face down in dirt
she didn't know when she pulled that trigger
how much it was gonna hurt

small and dear and born of sorrows
locked inside a holocaust
how do you explain the damage
when you cannot price the costs?

incendies, ils viennent et ils passent
comme une rivière foncée avec les esprits
des enfants terribles de la guerre
une meurtrière qui chante a minuit

that was an empire that we were building
this is the pyre where they told you to kneel
young girl, you can step away from the heat now
leave your body under their boot heel

just another spoil of war
you've left the flames now for another
simple math couldn't stand it
but then again it didn't suffer
not like your "just-another-number"
just another number
