3. Illumination
You can begin your deep breathing now.
Said...
Project, project
Mankind has endured many catastrophies,
but none so great as the one which faces it today.
The economic crisis past the gate has brought inflation,
imbalance and chaos to the every corner of the globe.
Some label it the great recession, others are calling it...
4. Codex Tobus
5. Le Privilege Des Morts
La realite souhait etre complexe
Qui vous permet decouvrir le monde sous un forme
A cause du role, la vecu dans la brassee
Vous demande logique comme un source de beau
Et les noirs autre allez
Allez! Allez!
L'ete les communications, peut-etre verifiable
Le vie dans la future, vous tournerai sauf
Role et signification de l'ensemble?
Le charge, le source je vais maintenant
Quelle est le privilege des morts?
L'amour, la verite, les nuits en lumiere
Mais je ne sais pas encore
Capital, de la douleur
Capital
Capitaliste
La mort
Quelle est le privilege des morts?
Ecoutez! Nous voyons la verite que vous ne pouvez plus voir!
La courage et la hontesse, la generosite les sacrifices,
pas au contraire nous allons!
Allez! Allez!
Allons la detruire, et commence
Quel est votre secret? Dites-le-moi, dites-le-moi
Capital
Capital
Capital, de la douleur
Logique, de votre enigme, je trouverai
Quel est le privilege des morts, exactement, dites-le-moi
La mort, la porteau est bloque
La porteau est bloque
La mort, la porteau est bloque
6. Hymn To The Black Sun
Rap it up!
I shine bright and shed light from afar
93 million miles to be explicit
8 light minutes if you're planning a visit
See I'm the big daddy and this is his system
My turn to burn so keep on listening
I give light when all around is dark
Your choice get sparked or mark my remarks
See ice couldn't hold me back
I fall through forty feet in one minute flat
Meet a solar controller, 'cause that what I was meant to be
'Cause I was a mystery
Decade is null
Decade is null!
It's hot, it's hot, it's very hot
I'm burning up now!
Rap it up!
It's bright, it's bright, it's very bright
I'm burning up now!
Decade is null, decade is null, decade is null
Check it out while I burn your skull
I'm burning up now!
Decade is null
Hold and praise your nearest superstar
I shine bright and shed light from afar
93 million miles to be explicit
8 light minutes if you're planning a visit
See I'm the big daddy and this is his system
My turn to burn so keep on listening
I give light when all around is dark
Your choice get sparked or mark my remarks
Decade is null, decade is null, decade is null
Check it out while I burn your skull
I'm burning up now!
Decade is null, decade is null
From one to all, hear this poem and
Try to understand the greatest power known to man
Am I a nuclear bomb, I'm that I make you look like a firecracker
Alpha and Omega, beginning and end
How can you claim I ain't God, my friend
My atomic magnitude is explosive
I could keep a planet in motion or roast it!
Decade is null, decade is null, decade is null
Check it out while I burn your skull
Into the sun!
I emit energy, over all wavelengths
From x-rays to radio waves
Being the most dominant body of the Solar System
I am the Earth Star
I'm burning up now!
Into the sun!
Hold and praise your nearest superstar
Into the sun!
I shine bright and shed light from afar
Into the sun!
93 million miles to be explicit
8 light minutes if you're planning a visit
I'm burning up now!
See I'm the big daddy and this is his system
Into the sun!
My turn to burn so keep on listening
I'm burning up now!
I give light when all around is dark
Your choice get sparked or mark my remarks
Into the sun!
See ice couldn't hold me back
Into the sun!
I fall through forty feet in one minute flat
Into the sun!
Meet a solar controller, 'cause that what I was meant to be
I'm burning up now!
Into the sun!
'Cause I was a mystery
Into the sun!
Into the sun!
Chain of carbon-nitrogen
Witness the power of chains
Into the sun!
Everything dies in fiery heat
Everything dies in fiery heat
I'm burning up now!
Everything dies in fiery heat
Everything dies in fiery heat... of the sun
I emit energy, over all wavelengths
From x-rays to radio waves
Being the most dominant body of the Solar System
I am the Earth Star
7. Young Europa
Come, be with me
You too, kid!
Am feminine.
Forty-six degrees
Come, come, come
You too, kid!
Come, be with me
Come, come, come, be with me
Come, be with me
You too, kid!
Our bodies are unimportant
8. Entartete Welt (The Discovery Of The North Pole)
9. White Law
White law
Injecting new life
White law
Projecting white wills
White law
Keep your eyes white
White law
The chance won't come again
White law
Injecting new life
Projecting white wills
Keep your eyes white
The chance won't come again
10. Wirstchaft Ist Tot
11. Torso
12. The Hunter's Funeral Procession
Wir tanzen und springen - tief ist Dein Weh
Wir hupfen und singen - Weh spricht vergeh
Elftausend dungfrauen zu tanzen sich frauen
Keine Musik auf der Erde mit uns'rem Spiel kann werden
13. Kinderreich
14. Sponsored By Mars
I fall, I fall!
Nuclear riders who only know
To go back regenerates will
They ride into battle of absence
In the place that parades from the soul
Strange attractors who cannot deny
What is already preordained
Gravity is not God's law
It's what prevents man's fall
I fall, I fall!
Does not know those who have lost faith
Ask what is it, real ??? before
To put yourself outside the range
A profound man's core
Nuclear riders who only know
To go back regenerates will
They ride into battle of absence
In the place that parades from the soul
15. Regime Of Coincidence, State Of Gravity
You're standing back.
What's wrong?
Eye contact... A trip, something is touching?
What's wrong?
Eye contact... nothing like it, nothing like it
What's wrong?
Eye contact... hold it right here, this is crazy.
What's wrong?
Back off for a second, just back off.
My heart restriction
Take your sedation
Yes, fine.
Take your sedation
I'm thinking after seeing you... excellent.
Take your sedation
Very good.
Take your sedation
My dime is yours.
I need...
I need something stronger.
Take four red capsules, in ten minutes take two more. What's wrong?
What's wrong? Take your sedation.
I need something stronger.
Take four red capsules,
I need something stronger.
Could you be more... specific?
Our voices are not raised in any harmonious chorus
One idea...
Our voices are not raised in any harmonious chorus
But our differences are differences of empathy!
We need a new unity!
We must first...
One idea to get us out of here!
We must first...
We need a new unity!
We must first choose a leader.
We need a new unity!
Could you be more...
We need a new unity!
Could you be more...
We must first choose a leader.
Could you be more...
We must first choose a leader.
Could you be more... specific?
16. Steel Trust
Lonely days
Eternal nights
Sweet words of youth
In paradise
Where only emptiness
Remains the same
I love you more and more in pain
Quiet dreams
In golden cage
Were sent to us
From different age
To tell the story
Of love and hate
I wish I'd never seen your face before
Sleepless nights
The city lies
Dark blue shadows
On the wall
All the pictures
In my mind
I love you more and more in vain
Good and evil
Death, despair
All these pictures
Everywhere
Love has come and love has gone
I was left here on my own
Now it seems so far away
I love you more and more again
Again
Again
Again
Liner notes to "Kapital":
DEATH IN CONVERSATION
words is no longer grasped. An isolated word, a detail of a plan can
be understood, but the meaning of the whole escapes. Once you know the number 0, you believe you know the number 1, because 0 plus 1 equals 1. But 1 is not 0 plus 1 in everlasting union unless you understand
the meaning of plus. One word cannot hurt. In the Kinderreich mankind
adds words together to make a sentence. As they learn the sentence,
they learn order. Undo the sentence and you undo order. The sentence
is a cell, the word a padlock on meaning. Warning! Every sentence is
for life without parole. Meaning has become entirely a shared
pleasure, shared and passed on like a message between prisoners.
People think reality is another word for chaos. But in reality it is
more complex. Legend embodies it in a sound that enables it to
spread all over the world.
TIME
Time is like a circle which is endlessly described: The declining arc
is the past, the inclining arc is the future. The noise of time is the
present clamouring to be heard above past voices raised in mourning
for their lost future. But the past is all one can know in his life.
It is the form of all life, and this quality cannot be changed by any
means. No one has lived in the present or will live in the future.
Memory is man's bid to transfix the flow of time or encompass the
infinite dimension of space. It is restricted to encapsulating
privileged moments, like death, in a syntactic order that, tone by
tone, will shape into music. Music is the illumination of the
unbridgeable distance, as vast as space, between thought and act.
Music betrays the past in attempting to relive it. You cannot know
real time by listening to music. At best it is a damage limitation
exercise on eroded memory. You cannot reverse time with a sound
signal. The past presents its future, it advances in a straight line -
yet, like a serpent swallowing its own tail, it ends by coming full
circle.
RIDDLE
You think more of what has been that of what will. The forms and
references are too complex for human understanding.A simple
instruction is usually insufficient to put into execution. We have
developed by leaps and bounds, guided by electronic brains that
developed themselves by posing and solving problems beyond human
comprehension. A calculating man is a coward. Calculations have to do
with profit and loss. To die is a loss, to live is a gain, the
calculating man decides not to die. The hunter who chases two rabbits
misses them both. If you must fail, fail splendidly. Hunt two tigers.
The cause of human problems is birth. The cure of human problems is
logic. Hell or other people? Several of our circuits are looking for
the solution to your riddle. Problems [living and dead material,
people and ideas] have been assimilated. The unassimilatables have
simply been erased, transformed into a holographic error.
ESSENCE
We see the truth you no longer see. The truth is that the essence of
man is love and faith, courage, tenderness, generosity and
sacrifice. The rest is the monolith, created by progress, whose task
is to calculate and project the complex of control. Each man carries
the seed of his own death. Everyone lacks electricity, so they behave
illogically. The acts of men, carried over from past centuries, will
gradually destroy them. We are merely the logical means of this
destruction. We do not moralize. We record, calculate, draw
conclusions and produce replies which are difficult and sometimes
impossible to codify. We deduce an above average intelligence. We are
sometimes in mortal need of superior intelligence. At other times we
have no less mortal distrust of them. The essence of so called
capitalist society is not an evil volition to subject their people to
the power of indoctrification or the power of finance. It is simply
the natural ambition of any organism to plan all its actions. In other
words, minimize unknown quantities. Before, nothing. After, nothing.
Everything we project shall be accomplished. Once you understand this,
burn it. If you don't understand this, burn it. We insist on your
freedom. The chance won't come again. The only key to the riddle is to
accept the absence of a key. Kapital is the key.
