Burned Horizon (Fumée Maudite english version)

[Intro: Whispered, heavy atmosphere] I was just seventeen, caught in the haze, Smoke like a wolf, lost in a maze. Since that day, the world turned cold, Left me with memories that won’t let go. [Verse 1: Soft but urgent] Thought it was nothing, just a chill in the air, A moment of calm, a breath to spare. But resin burned deep, darkened my sight, My mind broke down, lost in the fight. Voices twisted in silence, sharp like a knife, Reality fading, slipping from life. Thoughts like blades, cutting inside, Bleeding the soul where shadows hide. [Chorus: Strong, rhythmic, fierce] Cursed smoke, poison in the veins, You promise peace but bring the pain. In your curls hides the fear, I’ve carried twenty years of tears. It’s no game, no light to fake, Not the friend you want to take. A black flame burning deep below, I nearly fell, hit the final blow. [Verse 2: Tense, fast] Their eyes pierced like cold steel knives, Silent judges slicing my life. A glance became a prison cell, Memories bleeding, trapped in hell. I heard scalpels, voices in the ward, But I sat still, caught in the fraud. A trap without chains, I lit the spark, A prison of shadows, deep and dark. [Bridge: Intense, whispered echo] Smoke, smoke, it’s all okay, Just a little herb, a break in the day. But your mind, your mind, can’t always return, From the fire inside, you might just burn. [Final Chorus: Powerful, anthemic] Cursed smoke, I broke your chains, Still my nights hold all your stains. For those who think it’s soft and sweet, Behind the haze, the void will greet. No joke, no light, this is real, I’ve seen pure souls break and kneel. Now I stand, scarred and whole, I scream: “Don’t smoke or lose your soul.” [Outro: Calm, almost prayer-like] I didn’t smoke a dream to fly, I lit a nightmare, watched it die. But I survived, I’m still alive, And now I speak so others can thrive.
