Unfathomable alloys

Votre existence n'est qu'un hasard
Une singularité
Un discret segment dans le temps et dans l'espace
Définie dans sa forme et dans son esprit
Vous êtes incapable de saisir notre nature
Incapable de comprendre que vous n'êtes que des anomalies passagères
Je vais vous montrer la continuité
la pluripotence primordiale
l'ineffable Infini
La cardinalité incarnée
God-made Monolith
Crafted with oppressive inhumanity
Rhombohedral cristal made perfect
Ebony dancing with graphite
Shale and jet choking granite,
Boron carbide crushing silicate,
Blessed knowledge resisting humanity scrutiny
Sparking our reverence
Kindling Collective Envy
Igniting stellar wars
Abstruse Monolith
Defiled by the iodine of my sweat

The ceremony
04:52
|
|||
|
Swaddled in his red toga,
Sheltered by the Siamese structure
The faithful prepare the first ceremony
In the desolate plain
Weeks have been spent,
Dutifully gathering materials in the desolate plain
Charcoal from calcified crumbs
Streaked marbles chiseled to be perfectly elliptic
Sand patiently sieved and blended with potash
A slender old bone will be his stylus,
The sand his Tabulae

A walking scripture
05:37
|
|||
|
Thousands of Gospel and millions of Ayahs carved on his flesh
Line after line of ancient pain, sculpted by elders on his skin and bowels
A young scholar agony
only soothed by his scorched mind
Pure clinical faith crushed in a single breath
Once his gaze met the black Twins

Dromedary
03:57
|
|||
|
Shining crown on the horizon
Roaring in the dried plains
Slowly marching troops, of a relentless army
There’s no choice but to submit yourself to demon king
upon the sun
the skies ablaze
Ashes and chains
binded souls to nightmare
the dead dromedary stand up
its howls pierce the wind
it is gigantic
it dominate
one pale man is affraid
trying to flee
but he's hooked to the dune
his black umbilical cord plunge into the sand
the pale man has no choice
but digging by hand
without knowing where it would take him
he want to get off
but he's digging his own grave

Ashes and chains
05:58

|
Kneeling in the middle of his craft
The old man standed still for days trying to capture the true scent of the planet
When the old glass trinkets he laid down finally gathered black sunlight
He followed the teaching of his old mentor,
Starting to pray with several fistfull of ash in his mouth
Gurgling sounds and gritty sensations on his teeth
To pronounce the new holy words
The sky changed
Drank all colors around him
To contain his agitation,
The monolith poured familiar visions in his limbic meat
Salt temples in the floating Medina
Vomiting opaque fog of sweet incense
Melody of sand passing through Sharpened Chimes
When petrichor was but a concept
His mind appeased
His spacesuit away
He opened his eyes facing an uncanny monster
Slender neck and Sullen gaze
Soft black hooves and Regal hump
His holy steed has been summoned
