about

About this track:

Ninth track from "Chronophage". The track "House of The Endless Old" is inspired by a short story by Montreal author Daniel Sernine called "La Maison de l'éternelle vieillesse" .

It tells the story of a mysterious house where its (now old) habitants are trapped in a time loop, doing the same activities over and over again, and where the main protagonist of the story gets trapped in it.

lyrics

------------------------------------------------------
Lyrics:


So, it makes me wonder:
Has no one seen the sunlight?
What's behind the courtains?
Same motions every day and night?

Inside everything repeats again.
Everyday a lady lights the same flame.
What's inside the house of old?
Turn the light on and open the door...

Life inside lies in in a loop event.
Time inside, repeats itself, again...

All life inside ages till death,
and everything repeats itself.

Now I'm trapped in the cycle like them,
what I did yesterday I'll do it today.
Inside everything seems the same.
In the house of the cycle without end.
