lirik lagu zatholach (tsotaw chapter ii) – images at twilight
far from our own shiny white milky way
a ship escaped the grasp of the place known as “the grey”
the youngest of them all was he, zatholach, the rider
whom, with help of a northerner, mixed a horse and spider
creator of the hybrids, who let the rats have wings
creator of the cyclops and sirens sweet to sing
his face was white as silver
his fangs were golden made
he shone like midnight suns of brass
his gaze as clear as roman glass
aurora borealis blushed and passed away
his horse, a stallion of an unknown breed
was the proudest giant among all magic steeds
he ruled alone and lonely, and he ruled both hard and wise
although always in the shade of his strange disguise:
to some he looked angelic, but all love was erased
some were struck by mortal fear by a look upon his face
yet noone could debate his wisdom
he had knowledge noone knew
creations’ ways were open wide
the secret of the wind and tide
we’d rule the stars if he’d obliged the truth
“he’s tired of the planet
he’s tired of it all
and now he claims to have a call”
he made me bring forth creatures
from the south and from the east
to force them blend as he pleased
some were twisted in their features
he didn’t care the least
as long as they were new species”
seek and you shall find, the creatures of no mind
spiders, bugs and birds and beetles
horses, goats and cats and men
let them mix and crawl out and then
far from our own milky way
we wondered who it was who took his life;
an animal, a foreign ruler, a mistress or a wife
a poisoned meal, a sudden death, insanity or chilling roar?
noone knows what happened there and then and what he saw
“his screams were heard across the land; the story of his dying
a legend born in seconds none can speak without fear and crying
carry me to heaven
let my ship roam free
send me out and let me see it;
the universe, and let me be it
enshrine my corpse, but let my spirit be
as free as the air the day when zatholach was buried
no bird would sing, no fox would hunt, no raindrops ever gathered
one lonely eagle flew across the sky
as if to wave a silent, last goodbye
a gathering of bats appeared perhaps in escape of disaster
or a cold farewell to their master?
we lost our king, a creator
a warlord and a master
zatholach was the leader of
all beneath and all aloft
he created gods
and rid us of (disaster)
now he’s gone
tokens two we have prepared
for through time remember him
let the building of the stones begin”
as algotrattin said his words
a giant roar then shook the land
and the skies were filled with birds
his final words that all had heard
covered hearts with honest hands
a death like this seemed pointless and absurd
a ship that came from heavens high
it happened so fast
in the bay of old egypt
two figures were erected tall:
the centaur shone upon the east
the sirens to bring sailors peace
but what of his dying screams?
