Those two songs are dedicated to Laurence Moury (Willems from her maiden name) and Rudy Moury.

“The queen of envy” (ogg as soon as possible) and “The queen of beauty… …I appolotize” (ogg as soon as possible) has been publicly interpreted for the first time the eighteenth of July nineteen ninety eight at the Carlo-Levi by the band “Épiphora” now named “cueille la nuit”. The intepreters are: J., Pierre, Cafy (only on the first of this two songs) and myself.

Then, I decided to keep those songs for me.

Knowing Laurence and Rudy would be on the last Black Swords' gig “À Batton Rouge”, the ninth of October nineteen ninety eight, I asked to two Épiphora's members that are also Black Swords' members, I mean B.Iron (Pierre) and Cafy to interpret “The queen of envy” (ogg as soon as possible) and “The queen of beauty… …I appolotize” (ogg as soon as possible) with me.

For the marriage of Laurence and Rudy, I decided to record at the “We do with what we have studio” (that didn't have that name at the time) “The queen of envy” (ogg as soon as possible) and “The queen of beauty… …I appolotize” (ogg as soon as possible) to offer them a demo with those two songs at their marriage.

Lyrics

The queen of envy

You, the sweet goddess of beauty,
   You, the queen of our envy,
   You, the shiniest star I have seen,
   Younger, unperceived you have been
   Your poor health may be punishment,
   For your crime of too much beauty,
   But, you are so intelligent,
   So kind, so sweet, so much pretty…

   So anyone may forgive you,
   They all bow down before your feet,
   Because you’re sick, they all please you,
   You fear love, you’re so sad indeed.
   …
   You are so much jealous with him,
   Him, the one who’s so close to you,
   But no, you will never kiss him,
   You will never let him touch you.
   …
   You’re the goddess everyone lust,
   But no one will ever touch you,
   Your life will sooner turn to dust,
   Without any love that scares you;
   You’re a maiden slowly dying,
   Unable to have love felling,
   You are the girl untouchable,
   The angel inaccessible.

   No love, no life, for the angel:
   No love for the fallen angel,
   No more life for the dead angel,
   No love, no life, you dead angel.

The queen of beauty… …I appolotize

O, you the sweet queen of beauty,
   Now restrained is our envy,
   Although things are almost the same,
   I misunderstood, I’m to blame.
   Your poor health’s not a punishment,
   For being such a great beauty;
   You are so brilliant, so radiant,
   I feel ashamed, please excuse me.

   They’ve turned their head and leave you free,
   Those who bowed down before your feet;
   Now your unperceived love I see,
   You are able to love indeed.
   …
   And now after two years with him,
   Him the one who truly loves you,
   You have finally closed your wings,
   On his body, you love him too
   …
   You’re the goddess that we all dream,
   But we’re not worthy to touch you.
   Your life's going shorter, it seems,
   Do not care, now love is with you.
   Now I see you with love feelings,
   I see he's well, now he’s loving,
   I see your love, great as the rain,
   So now I trust in love, again.

   No life, no love for the angel,
   No love for the feelless angel,
   No life for the lifeless angel,
   But you, you are not an angel.

Note: The musical files are not available because there has been a problem in the extraction of it from the master CD-R, as the demo has been originaly recorded on a tape, I will re-record it digitaly, then, I'll put it on this website. Due to a lake of time, it might be long before it's available.

Gloom.
