lyrics

I am the Debt, I am the Debt
So save now, but later or sooner,
you’ll pay

I am the Debt, I am the sweat
Trickling down your vein
Your freedom’s at stake

Gratitude, loyalty, duty, love, yes call me names
Gratitude, loyalty, duty, love, choose a name
Gratitude, loyalty, duty, love, yes call me names

Gone, she’s gone
The reaper is gone
Left me free and void

I am the Debt, I am the threat
The wager for this game
On freedom, I sate

(c) Tiki Black 2018- now

Paroles

Je suis la Dette, Je suis la Dette
Economisez maintenant,
Mais tôt ou tard, vous paierez

Je suis la Dette, Je suis la suée
Qui dégouline le long de votre cervelle
Votre liberté est en jeu

Gratitude, loyauté, devoir, amour, appelez-moi comme il vous sied
Gratitude, loyauté, devoir, amour, mais choisissez un nom
Gratitude, loyauté, devoir, amour, appelez-moi comme il vous sied

Partie, elle est partie
La faucheuse est partie
Me laissant libre et vide

Je suis la dette, Je suis la menace
Le pari de ce jeu
Seule votre liberté me rassasie
