One-Winged Knight

{Hook]
J’me rappelle la route de la Baie-James, où qu’on roulait, qu’on gelait, qu’on fume
Les phares coupaient la noirceur pendant que les pylônes sortaient d’la brume
On venait du bloc, pas d’fortune, juste du diesel dans nos veines
Sur la route de la Baie-James… j’en suis revenu, mais jamais pareil

(✕2 pour partir)

[Couplet 1]
Aujourd’hui j’ai l’dos magané, pis des cheveux pas mal plus gris
Les kids checkent TikTok en bas, savent pas trop c’qu’on a bâti
Y voient Hydro sur les factures, le logo bleu sur un papier
Mais pas le froid qui me fendait l’visage à -30 dans l’char de chantier

Dans ma tête, j’suis encore là, Mac truck qui grimpe dans la bruine
Une CB qui griche en trois langues, un phare perdu dans la résine
On roulait nord comme si d’rien n’était, payes de ciment dans les mains
Sans trop comprendre que nos kilomètres coupaient le territoire d’quelqu’un d’ben loin

À soir j’regarde les nouvelles, on parle d’climat, de nation
On nomme les Cree, les ententes, les procès, les compensations
Moi j’me rappelle des visages, des feux au bout des chemins
Pis j’me demande encore des fois : on a gagné quoi? Y’ont perdu quoi, eux autres, là-haut, pour rien?

[Hook]
J’me rappelle la route de la Baie-James, où qu’on roulait, qu’on gelait, qu’on fume
Les phares coupaient la noirceur pendant que les pylônes sortaient d’la brume
On venait du bloc, pas d’fortune, juste du diesel dans nos veines
Sur la route de la Baie-James… j’en suis revenu, mais jamais pareil

[Couplet 2]
J’suis retourné là, un été, touriste cheap avec ma nouvelle caravane
Plus de roulottes de chantier, mais des panneaux expliquant « l’grand projet qui avance »
Photos de l’époque sur des pancartes, casques blancs, sourires d’affiche
Pas une goutte de slush sur les bottes, pas une larme dans la corniche

J’ai revu un vieux Cree, je sais pas si c’tait l’même bonhomme
Mais ses yeux disaient pareil : « Vos barrages, c’est pas juste des colonnes »
Il m’a parlé de camps noyés, de routes en gravelle où passent les orignaux
De ses petits-enfants sur Facebook, entre la trappe pis les vidéos

Moi j’ai parlé de ma jeunesse, de mes payes, de mon bloc en béton
De comment j’ai cru qu’on bâtissait l’avenir, sans lire les minuscules conditions
On s’est serré la main dans l’vent, deux vieux gars pris dans leur temps
Lui avec sa terre en morceaux, moi avec des regrets qui reviennent souvent

[Hook]
J’me rappelle la route de la Baie-James, où qu’on roulait, qu’on gelait, qu’on fume
Les phares coupaient la noirceur pendant que les pylônes sortaient d’la brume
On venait du bloc, pas d’fortune, juste du diesel dans nos veines
Sur la route de la Baie-James… j’en suis revenu, mais jamais pareil

[Pont – demi-parlé]
Si les fils tombent un jour, pis qu’les pylônes mangent la tourbe,
est-ce que les rivières vont reprendre leurs courbes?
Ou ben l’nord va garder pour toujours nos lignes droites dans sa peau,
comme des cicatrices d’guerre sur un dos?

Y’a un kid qui rappe dans un sous-sol à Chibou,
beat lo-fi, hoodie noir, yeux brillants, fierté partout
Il connaît l’histoire en morceaux, pas nos nuits de roulotte ni nos peurs
Mais il sent quand même dans la basse qu’y a d’quoi qui manque dans le cœur

[Hook – final]
J’me rappelle la route de la Baie-James, où qu’on roulait, qu’on gelait, qu’on fume
Les phares coupaient la noirceur pendant que les pylônes sortaient d’la brume
On venait du bloc, pas d’fortune, juste du diesel dans nos veines
Sur la route de la Baie-James… j’en suis revenu, mais jamais pareil

Sur la route de la Baie-James, on a vendu quelques saisons
Pour des mégawatts qui descendent jusque dans les tours du centre-ville, en bas d’la nation
Si tu montes là-haut un jour, oublie pas d’écouter le terrain
Parce que la route de la Baie-James… te ramène, mais jamais pareil.

Sur la route de la Baie-James

Well, dudes, this match was somethin' else! 195 to 125 votes, 320 votes total. Absolutely INSANE! Even Mr. Modulate showed up to say a little farewell, how sweet, upupupu! Both contestants took down some of the most formidable foes in the entire tournament, both contestants fought VERY well, but as you all know, one of 'em's headin' to the Dock of Shame! Almost feel a little bad~, but I'm Chris McKuma, crushin' dreams is kinda my job, so... Who's hopes will I absolutely DECIMATE next? Tune in next time to find out, here in TEMPORARY. FLIGHT.

MIROR B: I've had more then enough experiments for one lifetime, thank you!

115 to 74 is the total count! You hate to see someone get stomped - it can't be fun for the contestant either. But we've made it! All eight matches done, and I couldn't have done it without your support. Stay tuned for the losers' bracket, where things will really get interesting!

Hey! This is just a shout to the Soundcloud users who may not be aware: we do have a Discord.

Recently we had to put it on lockdown due to raiders and real nasty people, but now we have a verification system! So if you weren't in it already, I'd get in now. The Discord is pretty important for understanding some of PRIZM's less obvious elements.
