When on high the heaven had not been named, Firm ground below had not been called by name, Naught but primordial Apsu, their begetter, (And) Mummu Tiamat, she who bore them all, Their waters commingling as a single body; No reed hut had been matted, no marsh land had appeared, When no gods whatever had been brought into being, Uncalled by name, their destinies undetermined- Then it was that the gods were formed within them. Lahmu and Lahamu were brought forth, by name they were called. For aeons they grew in age and stature. Anshar and Kishar were formed, surpassing the others But sometimes, I sit in a chair late at night and quietly feel very bad Is Anything Wrong? Because of this, beloved daughters... You do not know what you love! Duck season! Fire! Sing ye of the goddess, the most fearsome of the gods, Praise be upon the lady ruler of men, the greatest of the Igigi! Sing ye of Ishtar, the most fearsome of the gods, Praise be upon the lady ruler of women, the greatest of the Igigi! %&$ It’s mine again! But if you choose me I don’t want to hear this kind of nonsesne anymore, nor any other statement that might suggest the faintest notion of conceding anything to that person, you hear me? Did you get that Frank? I don’t want to hear about it ever again! Never again! Never again, Frank! Never again! My feelings about this battalion (Tabur) and this life and the days we have lived together especially some comrades that we have lived together since the beginning of forming this battalion (Tabur) and these comrades were sorted and went somewhere else-- this (Tabur) is very different for me, not only this Tabur but also all the places allocated to women are different for me as an Arab woman-- that’s why we fight to this day for this objective because as I said before this Tabur was built on the basis of women, but Capitalism and the State system want to obliterate the existence of women, we are against this. We want our people to live freely especially women because it’s women who give beauty to life and the universe... if you don’t harm women, women won’t harm you either, that’s why we as women build our love for each other and our friendship on these foundations. You destroyed it? I’m not going to leave it for the gypsies. I no longer fall in love with rocks. I was God once. Yes, I saw. You were doing well until everyone died. Live well, and live broadly. You are alive and living now. Now is the envy of all the dead. Okay. They are always getting their queen to impart orders, All of them bow down before her, They take her luminous insignia from her, Woman and man hold her in fear.

That crow that flew above our heads and into the turbulent thoughts of a wandering cloud whose call, like a short spear, traveled the breadth of the horizon will carry our news to the city Everyone knows Everyone knows that from that cold sullen window you and I have seen the garden and have picked the apple from that playful branch beyond our reach I know that voice! It’s Mentok, the evil mindtaker! “O Gilgamesh, where are you wandering? You cannot find the life that you seek: when the gods created mankind, for mankind they established death, life they kept for themselves” And as he was walking in the forest, he met a small pussycat, that walked behind him I met you again, You never seemed to be waiting for me... but we kept meeting at every turn in the path... behind every shrub, at the foot of every statue... at the edge of every fountain... It was as if, in that entire garden, there were only you and me. We spoke of this and that: the names of the statues, the shape of the shrubs, the water in the fountains. Or else we said nothing at all. At night, especially, you liked to remain silent. One evening I went up to your room May we help your kingdom to grow here on earth. They’ll forget about us. And not in one hundred years, or fifty, or ten... but tomorrow. We’ll be disappeared by tomorrow. Nobody will remember we fought them over the world during one century. Peasants and laborers fought bravely against them during one century with their own weapons. With their own weapons. During one century, the flag that waved in half the world was neither an imperial house nor an eagle nor some swords but a sickle and hammer... from the factories and farm fields. We could have won, Natalia. We’re close. But we lost. And nobody will think about us anymore. Get off the train. Your trip is pointless. Game’s over.

I can’t go on. I’ll go on. “Don’t worry. Glory awaits you.” He asks, “What must I do?” “Nothing. Just wait.” Saison du lapin! Something bizarre is happening at the carnival. I thought that was the whole point! Have you heard of the Monks of T’Shuva? I’ve not heard of them. Death. The destroyer of worlds Good evening avuhvuhvuhazamahaza-azamavuhvuh We took the tangent to the center districts, traffic bulletins on the radio... as Natasha spoke to me in her pretty sphinx voice... pretty sphinx... pretty sphinx... I lette eimande skoddelag gli dei åreslag The Director cannot lay down any rules! The Director gets the money, the Prince gets his followers. There’s no point in arguing! The Prince alone sees the whole. And the whole is nothing. Completely in ruins. What they build and what they will build, what they do and what they will do, is delusion and lies. Under construction, everything is only half complete. In ruins, all is complete. What they think is ridiculous. They think because they are afraid. And he who is afraid knows nothing. The Director doesn’t understand that his followers are not afraid and do not understand him. His followers are going to make ruins of everything! His followers do, tell him. There is disillusion in everything. They don’t understand why. But the Prince knows full well that it is because the whole is nothing. They are finished. We crush them with our fury! We punish them! We will be pitiless! The day has come! There will be nothing left! Fury overcomes all! Their silver and gold cannot protect them! We’ll take possession of their houses! Terror is here! Massacre! Show no mercy! it is Arson. Slaughter! Ha! That’s it! Hold it right there!

בראשית, ברא אלהים, את השמים, ואת הארץ והארץ, היתה תהו ובהו, וחשך, על-פני תהום; ורוח אלהים, מרחפת על-פני המים ויאמר אלהים, יהי אור; ויהי-אור וירא אלהים את-האור, כי-טוב; ויבדל אלהים, בין האור ובין החשך ויקרא אלהים לאור יום, ולחשך קרא לילה; ויהי-ערב ויהי-בקר, יום אחד ויאמר אלהים, יהי רקיע בתוך המים, ויהי מבדיל, בין מים למים ٱللَّٰهُ أَكْبَرُ هي التي علمتني ...et surtout, comme la rencontre fortuite sur une table de dissection d’une machine à coudre et d’un parapluie! Asa Nisi Masa?! Jag kan segla förutan vind, Jag kan ro utan åror. Men ej skiljas från vännen min Utan att fälla tårar.

about

෴ is pronounced 'kuṇḍaliya'. It's a scriptural Sinhala punctuation mark to indicate the conclusion of a paragraph, inferring the end of a set of ideas.

Full album is 20 tracks, total time 3 hrs, 20 min.

Purchase includes 'The Dissolution of the Ages' (shannon-weaver.bandcamp.com/album/the-dissolution-of-the-ages) mix as bonus tracks.

Each "re/corso" track has its own track name that are not specified in the Bandcamp track name. Long track names tend to cause problems in Windows, because Windows can only have a certain amount of text in its directory structure. So when you unzip the files, you tend to get errors (why the zip program doesn't just truncate the file name is beyond me)

So, to circumvent this, I'll include the track names here. Please feel free to enter them into the embedded metadata. Or don't.

NB. For some reason, Devanāgarī does not render in certain areas of a Bandcamp page. The renderer forces nonbreaking spaces between characters, which breaks the Unicode renderer. I've written to them several times about this issue to no avail. Very frustrating. As such, I've decided to transliterate the Saṁskr̥t using the ISO 15919 schema in the titles here.

Thankfully, besides main titles and sidebar titles, everything else renders fine, as you can see above. Feel free to copy the Devanāgarī into your local metadata.
