lyrics

first of all: to accept eternity in itself, beyond the wheel of wheels, is not for every hunter
knowing of sun only from reflections
and to whom the rhythms of cosmos come down to a rabbit running - rabbit lying.

we receive and we store recycled solar force
and increase the number of cells in relation to those foreign
leaking increasingly as we grow.
fulfilment is for nothing, it’s a stasis:
the life within demands a chain of revolutions.
the victory renowned always cradles the opposing seed
and need is both the primary and the sole motor. 



out of distress we gathered,
our roles diverging as the body grew,
securing the nutritious flow across tissue
and filtration of toxins in which we were about to drown.
we developed a group identity
and a base to bend us away from mere egoism,
to serve the collective determined by the genome shared
in relation to the resources at hand.
we observed ourselves to be fed solely on the providence of the fittest
and when approved by the fellow kin.
those able to make a spectacle of their surplus continued the growth
with those left in the shades withering away.
when we had accumulated the critical mass
we collapsed in ourselves looping cancers
and when slackened by satiation
we laid down for the neighbouring bodies to suck.
even if we could foresee the means of escaping our lot,
we couldn’t sidestep the mechanisms
by which, when strengthening ourselves, we strengthened the otherness around us,
prolonging the process of decay, and expanding its jurisdiction,
since even when distanced from our surroundings
they returned in midst of our inner calm,
dragging our struggle to circles
in whose deceiving junctions
we longed for the taste of meat, of others or of our own.
once with our needs fulfilled we became suspicious
in a way those hungrier couldn’t afford to be.
we hadn’t strayed from the path
but a path that doesn’t stray from us
is even more dead than our abstractions.
a day will come when the primate in us
learns of its place in the conflict,
from that day on the world shall be an adversary.
