           from ‘Days of Mercury’

                                                   ‘Don’t speak’ Garbo in Mata Hari

                       Unprotect my journey
              Light under steps
¬ Invisible return
                            Temple of waters
                             Streaks of wind
               Songs of infinity over carnage
                      Over carnage
                                            Assign the silence to silence
           To silence the souls
                              Not poised to rest
                           Induced to escape
                     undoomed by
             Any dead deity.

Rain
Rain
Rain
               miss you like rain
              Flee
message of new worlds

Exit                           taking the sign.
