lyrics

***
I look back through time. Each second is potent and vivid. I see, hear and feel millennia of human struggle. Wars, torture, death and disease; vast multitudes in agony. Rwanda, Auschwitz, Adana, Badr Khan, Calcutta, Wounded Knee, Bengal, Persepolis, Carthage, Béziers, Bukhara, the Congo. I absorb of all of these and more.

My sight spreads further still, into a land so strange that it seems to belong to another world. In this alien landscape, vast lakes stretch from horizon to horizon. In the crystal waters, scorpion-like predators swim close to the surface while among emerald algae, small, slimy fish dart out from my shadow. Lingering near the shore, I study one such creature labouring in the mud. I recognise this being. This squat thing, simple-minded and pitiful is humanity’s ancestor. This is Eve, who dares venture beyond her aquatic realm. The one for whom the moon’s reflections on the water are not enough.

Lowly mother and progenitor, bearer of woes and bringer of all our pain, oh Eve, would it not have been better to have stayed in the depths beneath?

If God is still watching us, then he has no pity. He mocks us with death and entropy as we hope and dream of more.

Oh, crawling wretched Mother, do not despair. Tonight, your dreams shall bear fruit in me and like a lily atop a mountain, I shall bloom.
