Description
It’s as if someone turned on a universal flashlight in the dead of night - and then turned it off. A moment of light, a flash of meaning, and then again the fog, the hum of silence and the feeling that the ancients were whispering somewhere very far away. Transition song: from heat to emptiness, from body to spirit, from pain to acceptance. Everything was just like in life - I barely had time to feel my pulse before it subsided, leaving behind a strange warmth in my chest. The kind that makes you neither cry nor rejoice - you just stand there, warm your palms and listen to how the silence sounds.
Lyrics and translation
Original
Heat
up here.
Heat. Heat.
Heat. Heat.
Beneath a veil of moonlight mist,
you slipped away.
A celestial ember
extinguished in the night.
The once vibrant life,
a fleeting spark
now spent
as angelic choirs
echoed a haunting lament.
Lost in the boundless void,
a disorienting expanse
where nothingness reigned.
A desolate expanse.
Then a whisper,
a breath from the elders of old.
As my spirit neared the land,
it was sacred and bold.
Once a witch doctor,
spirits at my call,
wandering paths
are now traversed by all,
guided by wings
and ancestral souls
intertwined.
My journey inward,
the furthest reaches of my mind.
Now in flesh and form,
a new beginning nears.
The whispers of silence
drown out all fears.
No breeze stirs the air.
No word holds sway.
Only the echoes
of a life that slipped away.
Tears of joy,
a bittersweet release
as the song of angels
finds its final peace.
Heat. Heat.
