You believed all that I was strong
And you were right
In the hereafter I will rejoin all the Tyrants
They have accounts to settle with me, Mao, Pétain, Stalin, Hitler, Mussolini, Cabbage In Lay, Tchang Kai-Chek, Gengis Khan, Attila, Pol Pot, William the Conquerer, Rudolf Hess, Eichman.
All the stupid kings
Who reigned only through killing
I've always lived in a world of men
Where everyone smiles but says nothing
The one that ate the (forbidden) apple
God told me that this is not a woman
Everything was just violence
And makers of destruction
And if they can't appreciate true values
I can sell them my illusions
I will be born again in my ashes
That provoked their fires
Pathetic, destitute and Dantesque
Pitiless and without any thanks
You all believed that I was strong
And you are right
In the hereafter I will rejoin all the tyrants
They have accounts to settle with me, Pinochet, Ceaucescu, Franco, Mobutu, Noriega and Duvallier, Bokassa, Amin Hobby-horse, Néron, Torquemada,
All the stupid kings
Who reigned only through killing
I won't live in a deathcamp
No one will ever have my skin
My obligatory solitudes will remain
Nailed in my back
As far as the deepest of my hopes
I believed that one would send me higher
The one that came to see me
Had venom in his bones
He will never know, never know the end of the story
