Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Protection by Alcest from French to English.
La nuit comme une toile suspendue s'effondre
The night like a hanging canvas collapses
Et j'entends en moi des rugissements
And I hear roaring inside 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 that pierce us through and through
Les houles de la mer sont une armure
The swells of the sea are armor
Nous protégeant lorsque le jour s'étrangle
Protecting us when the day fades
Tant d'armes, tant de lames glaciales
So many weapons, so many icy blades
Pour affronter les fauves en nous grondant
To confront the wild beasts by scolding us
