Israfel 05:21
In Heaven a spirit doth dwell "Whose heart-strings are a lute"; None sing so wildly well As the angel Israfel, And the giddy stars (so legends tell), Ceasing their hymns, attend the spell Of his voice, all mute. Tottering above In her highest noon, The enamored moon Blushes with love, While, to listen, the red levin (With the rapid Pleiads, even, Which were seven,) Pauses in Heaven. And they say (the starry choir And the other listening things) That Israfeli's fire Is owing to that lyre By which he sits and sings- The trembling living wire Of those unusual strings. But the skies that angel trod, Where deep thoughts are a duty- Where Love's a grown-up God- Where the Houri glances are Imbued with all the beauty Which we worship in a star. Therefore thou art not wrong, Israfeli, who despisest An unimpassioned song; To thee the laurels belong, Best bard, because the wisest! Merrily live, and long! The ecstasies above With thy burning measures suit- Thy grief, thy joy, thy hate, thy love, With the fervor of thy lute- Well may the stars be mute! Yes, Heaven is thine; but this Is a world of sweets and sours; Our flowers are merely–flowers, And the shadow of thy perfect bliss Is the sunshine of ours. If I could dwell Where Israfel Hath dwelt, and he where I, He might not sing so wildly well A mortal melody, While a bolder note than this might swell From my lyre within the sky.

Sarajevo'94 03:46
AND NOW, LOOK AT MY LIGHT LOOK AT MY LIFE! WE'VE ALL BEEN BURIED DOWN FOR YEARS OUT OF A SHELL OF A GRAVE WE'RE ALL COMING BACK FROM BONFIRE YEARS! WHICH ONE HAS ITS WORTH NOW? IN WHICH IS OUR WORLD LEFT? IT'S UNDER THE ASHES OF SOME LIFETIME IN ABANDONMENT RELEASED YOU BROUGHT RUIN TO MY SOUL AND DROVE FIRE OVER HEARTACHE OF THOSE WHO FELL SOME STILL ROAM THROUGH HUMAN PARADISE LEFTOVERS I CAN BREATHE WHAT ONCE WAS AIR AND ADMIRE WHAT WERE FLOWERS BUT SOME MEMORIES STILL PASS ME BY IN WHICH THE FUTURE IS BUT PAST AND FROM THOSE I SPEAK NONE DARES TO LEARN WHO WAS MAN AND WHO WAS WORM!

IN THIS REMEMBRANCE OF FATE WE GREW UNTO THE PLANE OF THE SKY NOW WHO WILL SET THE BREATHING SPIRIT FREE? AND WHO WILL LEAD US FROM THE PROMISED LAND? THEY DON'T KNOW BUT NONE WILL STAY THE DEATH HOLDS SWAY THEY DON'T KNOW AND NONE WILL WAIT LIFE WILL WAIT MOST WILL GIVE UP ON THIS ELUSIVE PATH THE REST WILL STEP WHERE LIVING NEVER DO YET IN THIS SENTENCE I SEE MORE THAT DEATH CAN I FIND HOPE WHERE ALL THE OTHERS FAIL? THE YDON'T KNOW AND NONE WILL SAY THE DEATH HOLDS SWAY THEY DON'T KNOW AND NONE WILL WAIT LIFE MUST WAIT A ROAD FROM GOD IS SO LONG A DESOLATION IN ALL PAIN AND WASTE BUT IN THE END WHEN WE RUN OUT OF LIFE WHO REALLY SERVES AND WHO IS REALLY SERVED? THEY DON'T KNOW AND NONE WILL SAY THE DEATH HOLDS SWAY THEY DON'T KNOW AND NONE WILL WAIT LIFE WILL WAIT DARE YOU WAIT?!
