- Belly of the Closed House
Love is stretching from horizon to horizon,
From Heaven to Hell
Now we are caught between Heaven and Hell
We will reach each other by staring at the sky
And drown together in the ocean above
Where there is no false sun
Our knowledge of fire is what it sets ablaze
- Cup of Oblivion
The light of Nature shines more brightly than the sun, beyond all vision
Its light is also inside us and the outer sky leads to the inner one
All has been given veiled but with visible signs to decipher
Like a buried treasure with a mark to recover it
Now I am ready to let go things and those that I have loved in my life
I know I have to and will throw them all into the cup of oblivion
I don’t really need any more than this light inside
I know i have to forget if I want to go on living
- Disease of Fear
Stars brought poison here and caused diseases
But poison can also be a healer
And heal by likeness
As cold would do with cold
And a lie with another lie will
Fear is like sulphur and smothers our living breath
Then turns it into stone
But no rock can be lifted by stars
- Marriage in Death
In the underworld again
I don’t know what happened
I thought I built a shelter of my own
Underground once more
J’entends sonner le glas
And the mourning of a mother
- Nothing Above or Below
Marry and unify
The earth and the sky
Fix the volatile
Enclosed in the waters
Not yet divided
Into a matter so durable
And to the fire unassailable
- Red Sulphur
Beside my ghost
I suppose I was there
But in my soul I swear
I wasn’t, but feeding this vine growing inside
Without my knowledge
I was driven off course
And all this bound me to you
- Salamandra
Salamander like a daughter growing inside me
Born out of my fire
You’ve drawn it out of my power
I am now a cold mother dead in glory
Blood-red eyed daughter I wish you’d passed your prowess to me
Carry me up by fire and burn the ladder that brought me here
The more you drink inside of us
The more we poison apples and wine
- Soften Our Evil Hearts
Soften our evil hearts oh mother of kindness
Smother the storms of those who hate us
The cruelty of our hearts is the ominous danger
Let us not harm one another
Soften our evil hearts,
Breathe your wisdom onto earth
The human life-fire is blood
- Soothing But Cruel
Folded in your embrace
Your eyes are the brightest eyes
That ever hit me with their rays
I will do you no harm
When I am as strong as you are, and fair of face,
It will be me and you, it’s soothing but cruel
Your light into my light will flow
- Surface Vessel
Skaters on thin ice
Soften the blow of an awaited fall
No bones broken
The final stretch is the ideal one
Ready I am to break the spell and let things Drift in the summerlands
The sea has burst the dykes
The moorings are broken
Taking roots is beyond the strength of a shallow breather
- The Bosom Of The Earth
life has to run its course somewhere out-of-the-way
cut yourself off from my bosom
cope with the dreadful truth
cope with that rusty blade into my heart
life has to run its course
cut yourself off from my bosom
cut myself off from the bosom of the earth
cope with the dreadful truth
- The Die is Cast
Beginning is not nor end cannot be
shine as a flame in the midst of thy body
This is the curse on you
The curse on me
Your name has been carved in the palm of my hands
Call the name and fly away
Break that evil spell on me
Damned souls whirling ahead of our sins
- The Upper Hand
Unequalled and unvowed
We'll be safe on our own
We are nor passing from
The latent to the obvious state
Someone must fall
So that others may rise
Someone must be reborn
- There Will Be Blood
Your sword drawn
Glorious and humble
There will be blood
There will be love
From rotten bodies
New life will grow
Our knowledge dissolved
And fixed into one and holy goal
- Utterly Destitute
crude remains beyond redemption
contorted faces
swallowed up by the darkness
of the gap to be part
a bottle of leftover wine
bodies of no leftover life
such a roundabout way to get there
the hint of a gesture
