have you ever felt so lost that isolation feels like home
no contact
with the outside world
alone, afraid
sorting through the voices in your head
there is a black void where
care can breathe its last breath
curl up and die
it lies inside
and so do I
remorse goes first
control follows close
unrestrained
hatred courses through these veins
I am host to this parasite
bleed me dry
but give me life
have you ever felt so lost that isolation feels like home
no contact with the outside world
and I find myself asking this
where does it start
and where does it end
rejoice in the flames
a cleansing to take away the pain
worship it
revere its gains
all hail the black void
renounce your claims
join us in flames
Wonderful dramatic opening, the voice of a black woman in all her honesty, vulnerability and openess. And then one of the fiercest tracks of Zulu, total hardcore: 'Now they are through with me', full of twists and turns, and suddenly ending in a kind of soul-track, brilliant! This is 21st century music at it's best. The end lecture is dramatic and disturbing, spoken again by a black woman. Makes you think. Hesperus
