Part V - These Walls Are Eternal

from Lazarus Denied by SALQIU

/

lyrics

Here I lay in the dead of night, meditating about the nothing, about the everything, about the void,
And often I sense this stranger's face there with me. It has no body, it has no soul. Without a body – without a spirit and still a presence
It observes me and I don’t know why or what does it see.

It’s the shape of silence. It is silence embodied in nothingness.


A servidão que eu nunca quis, foi imposta a mim pelos servos vivos de uma divindade que deveria nos servir a paz graciosa depois que partirmos?

A promessa de descanso eterno quebrada em cada olhar, em cada momento desta fixada ostentação.

A morada exposta, a carne ausente, a demente saciedade mórbida num tormento sem fim…sem sossego

O destino, enfim, revelado em angustiante quebranto. Em perpétuo escaparate.


Yet strangely burns, shivers, incarnates parts of my levitating awareness scorching it, devouring it. Like the cleansing of fire does while easing away the cold flames.
And cold fills the room in secrecy again - we are at last whole with nothing
And in this moment - equality forms – the whole, the nothing and everything in between

A deafening trumpet calls out for those last wandering strands of consciousness - which, at varying speeds and distances - find their way through the fog
and towards the silence
They vanish

I vanish, denied

Like a denied Lazarus, I shall not rise from these cemented bones. Clustered within the walls of the chapel that exposes me to the world…
