lyrics

Unto a people despairing,
In wake of Shabbatai's false hope;
Unto a folk not well-faring;
Unto those downtrodden, broke.

Hidden in youth was my nature,
But did it show all the same -
Uttered in true nomenclature:
"The Master of the Good Name."

HaAri's wisdom and his progenitor's -
The radiant scrollmaker Moshe de Leon -
May finally be imbued into the teachings,
Achieved through mine travels; through writing and speaking.
I find a colossus with heart-spark unkindled,
And come from a land where those flames have all dwindled,
I find myself caged by emotion's detention,
But unlock myself with supreme key: intention.

Baal Shem Tov
Baal Shem Tov
Baal Shem Tov
Baal Shem Tov

I behold with sight,
Tzaddikim in the night,
In woodland lit by light,
For none are concealed from the All-One.

Jacob's Ladder furls,
Upwards through the four worlds,
Crusted with gleaming pearls.

I see the descent,
Of qualities, down sent,
To atoms; into men.

I behold with glee,
That nothingness which frees,
Radiantly, All that be.

Jacob's Ladder unfurls,
Downwards through the five worlds,
Its onenesses in whorl.

I see the ascent,
Of desires of men,
Which shape the thoughts of heaven.

Baal Shem Tov
Baal Shem Tov
Baal Shem Tov
Baal Shem Tov

Damp Chill of Life
by NONE

supported by 25 fans who also own “Proclamations of the Baal Shem Tov”

NONE a opéré un virage dans Where Life Should Be et ça se confirme davantage dans Damp Chill of Life. Le temps des métaphores est révolu : l'humidité froide, c'est celle des larmes qui coulent sur le visage à cause de la dépression. Tout pleure dans cet album : les guitares typées DSBM grésillent, les solos ("The Damp Chill of Life", "It's Painless To Let Go") sont liquides et coulent, les voix prennent à la gorge ; même le piano, étranglé par les sanglots ("Cease"), est aphone. Insoutenable... Jordan Vauvert
