lyrics

III.) 'I am a Force of the Past'

“…
I am a force of the Past.
My love lies only in tradition.
I come from the ruins, the churches,
the altarpieces, the abandoned
villages [...] where my brothers once lived.
I wander [...] like a dog without a master.
Or I see the twilights, the mornings, [...]
as the first acts of Posthistory
to which I bear witness, by arbitrary
birthright, from the outer edge
of some buried age. Monstrous is the man
born of a dead woman’s womb.
And I, a fetus now grown, roam about
more modern than any modern man,
in search of brothers no longer alive…”


translation by Steven Sartarelli
