In the Absence ov Light [English translation]

Ever since the Devil breathes

My steps never outweighed the gravity of hell

So I keep praying for rain of flaming rocks

To foster the symmetry of worlds

I had a vision ov the impenetrable darkness

Never found on either side of the moon

It wields composure of my soul

That comes as one with the odium below…

Chant the psalm

I will not serve

Retrieve the pride

Within and without

I reject any order, any idea

I don’t trust any abstraction, any doctrine

I don’t believe in God nor in Reason!

Enough of these Gods! Give me a man!

Let him be, like me, turbid and immature

Unfinished, dark and obscure

So that I dance with him! Play with him! Fight against him

Pretend in front of him! Simper him!

And rape him, and love him, and, on him

Recreate myself on and on, grow by him and, while growing,

Conduct my own wedding in the human church!

I imagined the most ardent ray of sun

Like vulture hovering above my neck

It burns with fever deep within my soul

Erect in gloria to sin(k) into shame

Oh Lord, whence came this doubt?

Thou doth know I am all and everything

Let loose my shackles

Let chaos reign

Infecting moral arteries…

Chant the psalm

I will not serve

Retrieve the pride

Within and without
