Lyrics
we die in our sleep like those who are out of practice we leave all urgent messages unanswered to correct the errors of the past the Society of Lost Brothers is preparing a celebration of everything that has not been celebrated yet the President is compiling a list of all such items he writes them down in a book located in his memory when his memory overflows he doesn't notice only one of the Lost Brothers knows: the celebration will never be complete the errors will never be corrected the Gardener of Else is preparing a feast for his rival The Voiceless Adept of Other who measures success in elapsed time and mixed meanings (his palace is not made of air but of vacuum) when the feast begins all sounds are transparent like palms of amputated hands; all information has been brought to zero - let's start again! when the feast is over all clocks in the world strike two twice in a row but not so we could hear when the guests are gone all items in the world trade places with themselves
