Dicing With Death

Recollections of dicey territories
Where I dreamed myself away
I was only my consciousness and nothing else
And in the mind of the sun they were all dicing with death
With pain they howled in the heart of the world
But screaming my lungs out there was nothing to hear
In the mind of the sun there was nowhere to hide and everything to fear
Wrapped by emptiness trapped in loneliness
Far beyond, they were all dancing on the shiny solar beam
As the new age was glently looming
Earth cracks, human veins
Scattered roots, glued fingers
Slowly growing like creeping snakes
And far beyond, they were all dicing with death
Feet in the dust, hands in the ash
With prayers and hopes some tried to make sense
Of the unfathomable mystery
Releasing the raven to search for the water land
They believed the future was here
Sucked out in the remaining salt
From Yam Suph, no longer a water of hope
Wrapped by emptiness trapped in loneliness
Far beyond, they were all dancing on the shiny solar beam
And far beyond, they were all dicing with death
Earth cracks, human veins
Scattered roots, glued fingers
Slowly growing like creeping snakes
And far beyond, they were all dicing with death
Et au coeur de ce monde au loin ils hurlèrent
Un cri résonnant à travers ces sols déracinés
Croyant que l’avenir était là avec leurs pères
Car ce monde se devait de subsister
A l’infini ils eurent dansé sur le souffle du soleil
Et croyant que l’avenir était là avec leurs pères
Leurs prières trahissaient à présent les peurs
Celles qui se dessinaient d’heure en heure
Celles du déracinement salutaire
