about

When Alice left Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dum, she thought the baby oysters' story was over.
It turns out it wasn't, as their grand'ma's getting ready for revenge.

----

Alice pensait l'histoire des petites huitres terminée après avoir quitté Tweedle Dee et Tweedle Dum.
Il se trouve que ce n'est pas le cas, car leur grand-mère se prépare pour sa vengeance.

lyrics

-- La Poignante Ballade d'une Aïeule en Eaux Troubles --

Hello, you can call me old shell,
I came yesterday and I’m not here to stay,
It’s a long way, but I’m not alone,
With me the ghost of my forty grandsons.

I follow the ocean flow,
I follow the tears and the infinite fear,
My day is coming, Walrus should be quaking,
With me the ghost of his forty victims.

The beast immobile stands in front of me,
His flippers nailed on a wooden cross,
A funny beam stuck in his mouth,
God, he looks dumb.

I’ve been stolen my victim
I’m still in mourning
The ghosts, my children,
Still lost, my children…

My children ! My children !
My children ! My children !
This
is
not
enough…

(Are you my mummy ?)

Oyster grandma, take your doll !
Say the words, make him live !
Again ! Suffer, more ! Come, again !
Live, again !

(Mummy ? Mummy ?)

Hear us, forever, our voices, our souls,
Around you, inside you…
Forever, hear us.
You can't die, never.
Live again, stay forever.

You will never escape anymore !
You will never live anymore !
You will never die anymore !
You will never die anymore !

We’re ghosts in the shells around your neck…

about

Lampray Lyon, France

Lampray is a progressive metal band from Lyon, France. Composed of bored people whose main goal was to kill time, the band ended up having a bit too much fun with what started as a hobby and an excuse to learn new things.
The (accidental?) result of this is two self-produced & self-recorded concept albums rooted in science and geek culture, telling stories related to the oceans and their depths.
