5.

Those songs are guides.

Our song should resonate

The primal one.

But singing anew from our breast

Against the greater chaos

In which all that was great

In the past was a part.

A greater chaos

For having greater orders in it too.

O, how to be so true,

Here, now, among the mighty ruins

That we no longer understand.

And the forest that’s all around,

And the darkness that we have found,

The need to feel our way,

Find our way, in the dark,

Over the flood, to our ark,

Across the legends that hide their blood,

And give the now a resonant shape

And music that moves the walls to form

And the birds to listen,

To move nature with our mastery,

And win for humanity

A clear way through the labyrinth

Of our flowing mortality,

Towards the secret harmony

Of the stars and the sun

And the absolute Hum.
