Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Protection by Alcest from French to English.
Verse 1
La nuit comme une toile suspendue s'effondre
The night, like a hanging web, collapses
Et j'entends en moi des rugissements
And I hear roars within me
Et je me débats, je me débats
And I struggle, I struggle
Contre les ombres qui nous transpercent de part en part
Against the shadows piercing us through and through
Verse 2
Les houles de la mer sont une armure
The sea's swells are armor
Nous protégeant lorsque le jour s'étrangle
Protecting us when the day chokes
Tant d'armes, tant de lames glaciales
So many weapons, so many glacial blades
Pour affronter les fauves en nous grondant
To confront the wild beasts growling within us
