Lafarge is a French industrial company specialising in four major products: cement, construction aggregates, concrete and gypsum wallboard. In 2010 the company was the world's second-largest cement manufacturer by mass shipped behind Holcim.
Lafarge was founded in 1833 by Joseph-Auguste Pavin de Lafarge in Le Teil (Ardèche), to exploit the limestone quarry in Mont Saint-Victor between Le Teil and Viviers. The limestone is white and argillaceous, and yielded an eminently hydraulic lime.
In 1864 Lafarge signed its first international contract for the delivery of 110,000 tonnes of lime to the Suez Canal construction project. It developed calcium aluminate cements. It was also an early pioneer in the production of white Portland cement, still made at the company's original Le Teil plant.
In 1919, a public company was formed, named "Société anonyme des chaux et ciments de Lafarge et du Teil."
In 1980, it joined with the Belgian coal, coke and fertilizer company Coppée to become SA Lafarge Coppée.

Shadows Come to Life! Traps Snare Women! Trunks Swallow Men! Bells Toll Out Death!
Some said, it's nothing but a story
Some swore, it's all just old man's fairy tales
Beware, she's come to claim her glory
Here comes the stormchild
Behold, the heir of mother nature
Dark clouds, her fingers weaving nightmares through the skies
Tiptoe the mountains, dance the waters
Her fate is just a heartbeat away, a heartbeat away
Stormchild, stormchild
Laughing as she rides across the skies
Stormchild, stormchild
Now the time is here, better bow in fear before her
Worship the stormchild
Closing in from all directions
The hailing thunder, roaring wind, the storming clouds
Steamroll the skies, enrage the waters
And we can only watch her play, it's time to pay
Stormchild, stormchild
Laughing as she rides across the skies
Stormchild, stormchild
Now the time is here, better bow in fear before her
Worship the stormchild
Ruler of the skies, yeah
Worship the stormchild
Kneel before her might, oh yeah
No need for asking why
Time to live, time to die
Kneel and pray for your poor souls
Storm's rising, you will fall
Stormchild, stormchild
Laughing as she rides across the skies
Stormchild, stormchild
Now the time is here, better bow in fear before her
Worship the stormchild
Ruler of the skies, oh yeah
Worship the stormchild
The grin was not a smile, the wolf was not your friend
The grip is not of love nor hate
It's got you on your knees, it's whispering in your head
It'll see to that you meet your end
Silent whispers, silent leaves
But no one hears you cry
The beast inside you never sleeps
You'll never say, goodbye
You can't remember, you can't regret
You'll stand there mesmerized
You're just as good as dead
Become a shadow in the rain
Collect your prize, be swept away
You're crying for your loss, you're beyond taking the blame
And tension's torn your soul away
Destroy that eyes, the broken mind
Howl at the moon in the sky
With shaky hands you dig your own grave
Hopeless prayers as you weep
Still no one hears you cry
The beast inside you never sleeps
Just kiss the world goodbye
You can't remember, you can't regret
Just stand there mesmerized
You're just as good as dead
Become a shadow in the rain
And as it falls, you're washed away
You can't remember, you can't regret
Staring with empty eyes
And voices in your head
Become a shadow in the rain
That's what you are, shadow in the rain
Hopeless prayers as you weep
Still no one hears you cry
Beast inside you never sleeps
Just kiss the world goodbye
You can't remember, you can't regret
Just stand there mesmerized
You're just as good as dead
Become a shadow in the rain
And as it falls, you're washed away
You can't remember, you can't regret
Staring with empty eyes
And voices in your head
Become a shadow in the rain
The wind's blowing ashes
The sky's filled with dust
Too scared to run
But God knows we must
Missed our last ride to a safe haven
Caught in a landslide
Of molten crust
Preachers of wisdom
Victims of trust
Some are cryin', some are praying
Run down the hill like never before
Mind your footsteps, fly, don't fall
The ground is shaking
The earth is breathing fire
Oh, Holy Maria
What have we done?
Leaning the wrong way
The hill's going down
Trading places, hell and heaven
Run down the hill like never before
Mind your footsteps, fly, don't fall
The ground is shaking
The earth is breathing fire
Run down the hill, stumble, be gone
The devil's laughing above us all
Twisting, breaking
The earth is breathing fire
Run down the hill, oh
Run down the hill, oh
Run down the hill
Run down the hill like never before
Mind your footsteps, fly, don't fall
The ground is shaking
The earth is breathing fire
Run down the hill, stumble, be gone
The devil's laughing above us all
Twisting, breaking
The earth is breathing fire
Run down the hill, oh
Run down the hill, oh
Run down the hill
Just run it down
Run it down
Just run it down
Do you like what you see?
Do you like what you see?
I was taking off, I was leaving ground
I was rocketing the blue skies
With my engines roaring
It doesn't seem so long ago
But as I take a look down now
I see the world's gone for me
Feel unreal, I drift in dreams of home
But I'm still out here alone
Trying to fight the tears of sadness
Reflection in the mirror, madness
Calling me, calling me
Do you like what you see?
Do you like what you see?
Tell me how does it feel
When the dreams have come real
You're the last man in the universe
You're the king of the hill
It's a mission fulfilled
When there's no return
For Mister Universe
If only I could turn back time
I would give up on ambitions
End this search for glory
Getting closer to the end of the line
Now my eyes are finally open
At the end of story
Deep inside I know there's no way home
Oh, I'm left out here alone
Trying to fight the tears of sadness
Reflection in the mirror, madness
Calling me, calling me
Do you like what you see?
Do you like what you see?
Tell me how does it feel
When the dreams have come real
You're the last man in the universe
You're the king of the hill
It's a mission fulfilled
When there's no return
Mister Universe
So do you like what you see?
You're a statue of greed
The last man in the universe
You're the king of the hill
With your mission fulfilled
And there's no return
For Mister Universe
Do you like what you see?
Do you like what you see?
Tell me how does it feel
When the dreams have come real
You're the last man in the universe
You're the king of the hill
It's a mission fulfilled
When there's no return
Mister Universe
So do you like what you see?
You're a statue of greed
The last man in the universe
You're the king of the hill
With your mission fulfilled
And there's no return
Boy selling papers
Caught a glimpse behind the scenes
Saw they had more
Than he had ever dreamed
Their suits were tailormade
Their boots were shining clean
Careless tough faces
Looking proud as can be
Started looking how they ruled the streets
So they were living it up, living it up
Beyond his dreams
King of the night, once and forever
Pay your respect or you'll go down
Now he's the king of the night
Hell or high water
I dare you, try to take my crown
Left his old man's business
To run them little services
Wore his hat way tilted
And rolled up his sleeves
Fought, got arrested, jailed
Took a bullet in their name
Got himself a gang name
Loved it all the way
His guts were tested on the streets
And he never gave up, never gave up
He was bound to be
King of the night, once and forever
Pay your respect or you'll go down
Now he's the king of the night
Hell or high water
I dare you, try to take my crown, yeah, you'll go down
King of the night
King of the night, once and forever
Pay your respect or you'll go down
Now he's the king of the night
Hell or high water
I dare you, try to take my crown
Dare, king of the night
King of the night, king of the night
King of the night, king of the night
King of the night, king of the night
Among the masses raging on a balcony
He talks about a paradise not meant for all
His voice is spreading poison
That target generation who never get old
Painting a picture of a promised land
Acting he's the messenger, he's the hand of God
It's so easy to believe him, just sew on your sleeve
And lose your soul
Children, please follow me
I'll lead you to your destiny
Walk into fire, my disciples
Children, just obey me
And pledge your oath to tragedy
Singing the hymn of the hellhorn
It's a contest between ebony and ivory
Different languages, the cultures, the different clans
If always seeing was believing then no one could be steering
Oh, steering to the dark
Children, please follow me
I'll lead you to your destiny
Walk into fire, my disciples
Listen to me
Children, just obey me
And march on to the battle field
Singing the hymn of the hellhorn
Children, please follow me
Children, just obey me
Children, please follow me
Don't think, just follow me
Children, please follow me
I'll lead you to your destiny
Walk into fire, my disciples
Children, children just obey me
And march on to the battle field
Singing the hymn of the hellhorn
Children, children, children just obey me
Singing the hymn of the hellhorn
Children, children, children just obey me
Singing the hymn of the hellhorn, oh
Children, children, children, follow me
Singing the hymn of the hellhorn
Like fallen leaves, victims of time
Memories of old times, wind blows, they fly
Forgotten promises, someone else's dreams
It wasn't you, it wasn't me, it wasn't reality
Don't say you're sorry for once treating me so wrong
You sure did hurt me then but the tears, they are long gone
So after all this time when you ask me how I am
Couldn't tell, couldn't say, oh, try to understand
Don't touch the sun, don't touch the sun
It will burn you alive, ashes to the ground
And it's all about the stages when lovers turn to strangers
Leaving just a shadow in your heart, oh Lord
I was a young boy, I thought love's a friend
I couldn't read between the lines, no, I didn't understand
That reaching out for you was like reaching for the sun
Hurt my eyes, stopped my mind and then burned my heart, Lord
Don't touch the sun, don't touch the sun
It will burn you alive, ashes to the ground
And it's all about the stages when lovers turn to strangers
Leaving just a shadow in your heart
Don't touch the sun, don't touch the sun
Ooh, the sun, don't touch the sun
Don't touch the sun, don't touch the sun
It will burn you alive, ashes to the ground
And it's all about the stages when lovers turn to strangers
Leaving just a shadow in your heart
Don't touch the sun, no, no, don't touch the sun
No, no, the sun, don't touch the sun
No, no, no, no, it'll burn you alive
No, no, no, the sun, don't touch the sun
