CGGVeritas is a French-based geophysical services company, resulting from the 2007 combination of Compagnie Générale de Géophysique (CGG) and Veritas DGC Inc.
CGG was founded in 1931 by Conrad Schlumberger and acquired its first seismic survey in 1932. In 1966, CGG opened its first seismic data processing center in Massy, France.
Veritas Energy Services, a geophysical services company, was established in 1974 in Calgary, Canada with the purchase of Rafael B. Cruz and Associates Ltd. by D. B. Robson.

In 2007, CGG took over Veritas DGC and changed its name to CGGVeritas.

All of the battles lost and won
All of the things we´ve said and done
Become the dark that wells beneath the floor
Lost in a world that I don´t know
Anymore
Where no truth will set you free
All of the lessons that we learned
All of the bridges that we burnt
Boons for a cruel, jealous god to trade
Lost in a world that slowly turned
All insane
Where no truth will set you free
All beauty houses the heart of pain
Kissed by the evil
In good contained
And all truth´s grown sad with ages taint
All of our charmed lives estranged
Heaven is His throne and the earth His footstool
And yet we patronize with our idol worship
(So) remove your heart, invert it to
The kind of grace that will cut through
This primal trait innate in man
Has plagued us all since we all began
To trade the truth for a lie
Find yourself given over
I've made these shrines in my eyes
Break down these walls
What we need to know is that we'll always have
salvation
What we need to see is that One died for all and
therefore all have died to death
This is a warning to all those who stumble and mock His
name
He will seek you out, spit you out, and wash away
Plaguing our souls since we began
Trading truth for lies find yourself given away
Plaguing our souls since we all began
Trading our truths all for lies
I've made these shrines in my eyes
They're shaking
I need your cleansing power
I need your cleansing
We live by faith not by sight
One died for all and therefore all have died to death
I fear, I fear we're falling
I fear we're falling faster now
Before we built these shrines inside
This fear of falling faster
Is slower than your wings of grace
This disbelief of sin has died
Plaguing our souls since we began
Wounded by pleasure in flower of youth,
Measure for measure, tortue for truth.
Passion is my highest good.
Flesh and blood am I, my lord.
Lost to plan now, lost to purpose,
Won for better or for worse,
Lady-in-waiting for you am I,
Watching moments of glory pass us by.
Passion is my highest good
Deep into the darkness peering
Long I stood there fearing
Dreaming dreams no mortal ever dared to dream before...
But the silence was unbroken
And the stillness gave no token
And the only word there spoken
Was the whispered word: "Veritas"
This the dark whispered
And an echo murmured back the word
Merely this and nothing more!
Fools and faith conspire
Questions of desire
That they never owned before
Kings without their armour
Men without their honour
We all slip into oblivion
We are the dark inside the night
The ghosts about which the poets write
And the dreams that night's embrace
That slowly leave without a trace...
O, suflet sparge-odata, ingustati inchisoare
Si scutura-te-odata de-acest lut pamintesc!
Vreau sa m-agat de tine, spre cer navala dind
Cum viermii de-un cadavru s-agata misunind!

In the mirror
My reflection
Lies to me
That is not the man I want to see
But every harvest
Takes me closer to my aim
I will be there
As soon as darkness falls
My life is but a heartbeat away
And all you ever had will soon belong to me
In morte ultima veritas
*In death the final truth*
You will knee before me
And you will confess that I am God
In morte ultima veritas
Send me your prayers
But death is the answer to life
While your wailings
Feed my anger
I stay calm
Cause I am sure that you
Won't let me down
Fading gently
To the sound I can't forget
And don't you know
That when the music dies
My life is but a heartbeat away
And all you ever had will soon belong to me
My life so short but innocent
It always will remain...
And all I know is
It was good
My childhood memories...
I was blessed to live
Please... Please, let it die...
Or brother this is my last goodbye
