A Solemn Ode to Ruin

from Coronachs of the Ω by Wijlen Wij

/

lyrics

Ah…
All those things of beauty “a joy forever” should they be
But what we build to last is never destined to stand fast
Look ‘round and you will see the ruined state of all that be

All beauty blossoms to be broken and become nothing but a token
What remains is a faint memory of past glory, fading by decree

This is a solemn ode to ruinFor time will make so much forgottenFor fresh will become rotten

A solemn ode to ruin!To doom!To us all!

A solemn ode to ruin!To doom!To us all!And our lives, stillborn or misbegotten

I must be near the middle of my story.O may no wintry season, bare and hoary,See it half finished: but let Autumn bold,With universal tinge of sober gold,Be all about me when I make an end!

And now at once, adventuresome, I sendMy herald thought into a wilderness:There let its trumpet blow, and quickly dressMy uncertain path with green, that I may speedEasily onward, thorough flowers and weed..

Be all about me when I make an end!
[John Keats – Endymion: Book I]

Oh Mensch! Gieb Acht!
Was spricht die tiefe Mitternacht?
"Ich schlief, ich schlief—,
Aus tiefem Traum bin ich erwacht:—
Die Welt ist tief,
Und tiefer als der Tag gedacht.
Tief ist ihr Weh—,
Lust - tiefer noch als Herzeleid:
Weh spricht: Vergeh!
Doch alle Lust will Ewigkeit
will tiefe, tiefe Ewigkeit!"

[Friedrich Nietzsche – Also sprach Zarathustra]
