The Beast [French translation]

Gently as we go, gently as we go

Steady as we go, steady as we go

I can sense in opening the front door as we came in

You were burning a hole in my back

Can we turn this around from where I lost you in the evening

Before things get out of hand?

One by one eyes go optic, we’re becoming the beast

Shear power in the heat of hate brings our army of two to its knees

Steel lungs are shouting the house down, going for the kill from the kiss

Battle stations are now navigation, have we driven love to this?

Gently as we go, gently as we go

Steady as we go, steady as we go

All fired up, you’re a hot mess getting messier

I’d do anything for sleep

But I can think of far better ways to waste your energy

If you can bare to still touch me

One by one skin hardens, we’re becoming the beast

Shear power in the heat of hate brings our army of two to its knees

Steel lungs are screaming the house down, going for the kill from the kiss

Battle stations are now navigation, have we driven love to this?

Have we left, have we left the building?

Did we die a little death?

Is this the end of the road for us, no more bridges for us to burn left?

Do we finally find ourselves at the point of no return?

One by one, we’re becoming the beast

Sheer power in the heat of hate brings our army to its knees

Steel lungs are shouting the house down, going for the kill from the kiss

Battle stations are now navigation, have we driven love to this?

Gently as we go, gently as we go

Steady as we go, steady as we go
