CONFESSIO - FIGHTS III:
CLOSURE
(ENNEALOGY, PART NINE OF NINE)
Eichwalde, December 30th, 2000 - P#143
I. The words that flow an end demand The words that flow united stand And stand in unison once more - The quarrels which till now them tore Apart they went and died in vain And nevermore shall rise again - And nevermore to find they seem And neverwhen they form the theme: And fires all forgotten here And old beliefs so built on fear While fear the weakest link so much Whilst holding all in strongest touch And grasp so strong it burns inside And fire now with utter might Will strike again and must get heard - And everyone who well once fared Now down the road in darkest days Will face all bravely uttered nays And closure seek - again - in vain - And nothing now can stay just sane.
II. So fire lives again and burns And all reflection dark now turns And lights the flame deep down this all - That everything may face its fall And shalt discover truth from lies And shalt now see what sweet disguise And shallow masks them led once here: And evermore, there stays just fear, And evermore, it's all there'll be - And nothing here so keen to see What truth may be and lead to light - What lies beneath now come to sight - What's hidden all now must appear And shed may be another tear But nevermore the times now past Return then should and ever last: The past is past, the now is now And truth before it is to bow - And not a single soul gets lost And not a single spark now tossed.
III. And closure now the task ahead And closure not a warmest bed And closure not a home well-build And closure not a cup well-filled, And closure not for comfort here - And closure won't dry every tear - So all what's said will now get heard And old dominions may get stirred And old convictions now get probed And everything for which we hoped And everything beneath the sky Will face this test and needn't try To finally get things now done - The time is up, the chances gone: And closure now a cut will be And closure deepest end will see And closure all will face at last And closure knows no deepest past For past and future now collide: In present times, now starts this fight.
IV. And time now running out so fast, The thoughts to think will pound at last And nothing here will have more time - And worldly goods aren't worth a dime And all irrelevant a shine Gets lost, ignored, both yours and mine, And nothing here retains its worth - And death is nothing but a birth And all accumulated here And all what far once now gets near And deeds from ages past arrive Together, all will lose - or thrive - Together all, no sep'rate fight, Together now, one single light - And all which hovers here above And all which thinks itself so tough Will crash, ignite and go to hell - A hell to which themselves they fell, A hell of man - and built by them - And back they go to live again.
V. And all remains in nothingness And nothing here is worth now less - And nothing all - and all so vain - And all rejoices from this strain: And thoughts unleashed which new and old, Together all, and truth be told, Together always, all days through - Together all the days we grew, Together all what thought apart - And finally, a single heart And nothing separates us here - For nothing now incites a fear And fire just what called here life In dreams together now we thrive - And dreams deep down no more a fright And dreams deep down now show a light - And light and shadow here are one - And all what feared before in stun Transcend it will and closure find - And see at last what lurks behind.
VI. The words to write, the words to say, The words to see another day, The words and names the world create - And since beginnings never fade, The word that once create all did Will finally show all its wit And all collapse again, enfold, And all the tales by words so told Will come together finally And finally, the truth shall see - And nothing separates them then And words their names will eat again - And all the speeches down to one And discourse now gets here just done - And closure now a word to be And closure not a thing to see And closure so inside this all And closure neither buildings tall Nor highest plans not brought to light - And now anew, new words incite.
