2. UNKNOWN LAND |
|
|
|
πατριδα μου ειναι η ψυχη |
|
μες στην ερημια μονος μου γυρνω |
|
ψαχνωντας να βρω τον χαμενο μου εαυτο... |
|
|
|
“Why is it that whenever words sweet like honey |
|
Linger at the tip of my tongue |
|
As I open my mouth, a song of joy to sing |
|
Voices of evil and discontent torture my poor mind?” |
|
|
|
The voice of reason: “I am the voice of reason, the one and only truth |
|
Your duties you will pay, there is no other way |
|
But treason beckons here, as you allowed in |
|
A very unwelcome guest who disturbed my rest |
|
No, I can not tolerate another presence here |
|
How can you feel the pain in my heart |
|
When you haven’t got one? |
|
How can you see how much I suffer |
|
When your eyes are shut?” |
|
|
|
The voice of irrationality: “I’m your redemption so you’d better listen: |
|
I am sick of your figures and your calculated risks |
|
I abhor your arrogance, when with zeal you project guilt |
|
Only where logic dies you can find true happiness |
|
So forget your dues and your duties, give your instincts free rein” |
|
|
|
The voice of Insanity: “In the land of the blind, I’m the one-eyed king |
|
While the two dogs fight for the same bone |
|
I’m seen running away with their meat |
|
I’m the voice of insanity, the genius of the universe” |
|
|
|
All: “ O can’t you see? I’m the only way, your sole purpose in life” |
