The Testament of Jean Meslier 08:12
lyrics

THE TESTAMENT OF JEAN MESLIER Dear friends, I wish to declare to you in writing Something that in life I never told you About a hateful tyrannical and evil lie Rooted in the silence of reasonable minds The religions in the world They are inventions and purely human institutions Those who invented them used a god For laws and commandments to be enforced False, false mysteries, false, false solemnities and false divine worship With the pretext of heaven, they give you a life of misery With the excuse of another non-existent life The imaginary penalties of an invented hell I wish that all the great And noble of the earth Be hanged and strangled With the guts of the priests So much stupidity my dear friends Don't be led by these hypocrites Through these words I offer you a means So that, if you want to, you can free yourself All religions and political laws Are detestable mysteries of inequity Priests and authorities seize you They will indoctrinate and hold you captive! Religions do not and cannot contribute Strong reasons or evidence of credibility Nor the prophecies of the supposed saints Nor their alleged acts in the name of divinity Religion forces you to believe in absurd things It endorses principles that disrupt nature Allows tyranny, authorizes vexations against justice A yoke of dominance against humanity False, false mysteries, false, false solemnities and false divine worship With the pretext of heaven, they give you a life of misery With the excuse of another non-existent life The imaginary penalties of an invented hell I wish that all the great And noble of the earth Be hanged and strangled With the guts of the priests So much stupidity my dear friends Don't be led by these hypocrites Through these words I offer you a means So that, if you want to, you can free yourself All religions and political laws Are detestable mysteries of inequity I already take almost no part in what is done in the world The dead, whom I am about to join, no longer worry about anything So, I will finish this with nothing I am hardly more than nothing and soon will be nothing…

De Rerum Natura 07:05

DE RERUM NATURA O miserable minds of men! O blind hearts! In what darkness of life, in what great dangers ye spend this little span of years! To the nature of the body Few things are necessary Treasures are of no use Nor the nobility nor the glory Stay away from pain Dominate restlessness and fear Enjoy a sensation of well-being This taught of Epicurus, my friend The dark night won’t make the way disappear for you Without you having contemplated the last secrets De rerum natura, casus, ἀταραξία Accidents from matter and space Yourself already, any day Overcome by the hideous words Emanated by the starseers You will try to separate yourself from us There is no preexistence of a soul Or eternity out of the body The mortal and the eternal do not converge Plato and Pythagoras disproved Abandon the fears of death Free yourself from worries Rest in contemplation Dispel fear with knowledge The walls of the world open With the radiance of the senses However, it is not the only thing As hidden movements occur Beneath the sensations Particles that dance like the stars Without a cause or need No gods, no ends, casus What exists is not limited It’s not going towards any direction There is no beyond from this nature Lack of limits and measures Continuous motion production Such is the nature of the space Thus, the extent of the abyss To and from everywhere The dark night won’t make the way disappear for you Without you having contemplated the last secrets De rerum natura, casus, ἀταραξία Accidents from matter and space

Topology of Violence 09:11
lyrics

TOPOLOGY OF VIOLENCE Violence never disappears It is present, it has adapted It manifests in different forms According to the social constellation It retires to capillary levels Subcommunicative, pre-reflective and neural Trying to go unnoticed by hiding Coinciding and blending with freedom Topological transformation Violence is mutating From the visible to the invisible From the frontal to the viral From brute force to mediated force From the real to the virtual From the physical to the psychic From the negative to the positive Domination techniques exercising symbolic terror Suspicious coexistence between freedom and control Over-communication, over-information, hyper-attention Over-production, efficiency, transparency Objectification, globalization, publicity objects Voluntarily given over to the panopticon More communication doesn't mean more proximity Routine dynamics innervated by distance Silent linguistic violence of positivity Pretensions of autonomy internalizing it Dangerous invisibility that leaves you defenseless Illusion of self-realization through exhaustion Topological transformation Violence is mutating From the visible to the invisible From the frontal to the viral From brute force to mediated force From the real to the virtual From the physical to the psychic From the negative to the positive Individual repressing himself from inside Victims and executioners at the same time Living in the achievement society Existence reduced to vital functions Their lives are like those of the undead They are too alive to die and too dead to live Intrusion, invasion, infection Mass in full exposure, veiled coercion

Insurrectionary Reflections 07:54
lyrics

INSURRECTIONARY REFLECTIONS Apparent autonomy, ornate enslavement Trivialization of thought, lethargy infringed Coprophagy admitted, celebrated and revered Malevolent trivialization of the important Machinery parts don’t ever find out Of its perishable functionality Swim against the current, I know it's not simple I am there with you so that we can be more and more Let's head bang the edge of the boundaries No more servility, insurrectionary reflections Plastic life, synthetic happiness Virtual wellness that hides insecurities Fake smiles, anxious exteriority Absurd archetypes, lost interiority Fear takes over your thoughts The invisible hand guides you, pretending to know about you You walk through the streets, predetermined Giving up your life for the gains of others You're drawn again and again pretending cunning Serving the plans designed, designed for you Chasing the crumbs they offer you Imitating the stupidity of fabricated idols A blanket of individualism that grows Excision of the possibility of community Creation of imaginary enemies Treacherously installed traps Economy of bodies and their energies Distractions within reach of hand Swim against the current, I know it's not simple I am there with you so that we can be more and more Let's head bang the edge of the boundaries No more servility, insurrectionary reflections Idiotization as a flag of prestige Watching the pyrotechnics until blindness Clouded by excessive stimulations And at the end of the day nothing satisfies you A system of oppression adjusting Devouring your wishes and desires Wake up, no one else will do it for you Be doubtful, suspect, criticize, look behind the curtain Look behind the curtain Reflections Insurrection Insurrection Insurrection Insurrection!

WORDS Imprecise expressions Mental allegories Intention to signify Thought impulses Words Shades Words Echoes Trying to interpret the elusive impressions Describing experiences, affirming and denying Seeking security, we forge sharp swords With the intellect we weave complex concepts Imprecise expressions Mental allegories Intention to signify Thought impulses Giving a content to nothing Playing to capture sensations Sounds stroking the surface Imposed discursive correspondence Limited by conditions and uses Our babblings enunciate The sublime night sky Or the putrid smell of a cadaver Covering the need for perfect logic Aspirations of an ideal and pristine language Models, figures, rules, signs and symbols Tangled structures that build narratives Trying to interpret the elusive impressions Describing experiences, affirming and denying Seeking security, we forge sharp swords With the intellect we weave complex concepts Giving a content to nothing Playing to capture sensations Sounds stroking the surface Imposed discursive correspondence Limited by conditions and uses Our babblings enunciate The sublime night sky Or the putrid smell of a cadaver Words Shades Words Echoes

Story of the Eye 07:22
lyrics

STORY OF THE EYE Capricious and naughty boys There are no prohibitions Wrong upbringing with pain Obeying the instincts Kids playing discovering themselves Thoughtless and transgressors Furiously keeping their childhood Unleashing storms of pleasure There’s no virtue Sex, orgy, passion There’s no virtue Sex, orgy, passion Teens in the limit of childhood Sex in state of evolution Exciting game of disobedience Destroying masks of innocence Moving in time of pleasure Embodying unconscious desire Refined aesthetic experiences Unprecedented show and happiness Blood, obscenity Violated morality Pleasure, wickedness Cruelty, sacrilege The words are not needed Sleepwalkers inflamed of passion The sperm becomes into blood Moves with synchronicity Mute understanding An oniric prison Multiplying the excess Unleashing the violence The visual sex, the sexual eye Carnal obsession, peculiar eye Erotic vice, there are no qualms Full voyeurism, visual obsession Story of the eye, story of the eye Story of the eye, story of the eye Story of the eye, story of the eye Story of the eye, story of the eye
