| Set I |
|
| Paradigm Shift The winds of autumn banish summer, force a change come, wind, bring judgment |
Coupe de Grace The doom of nations becoming death, the beast waits history’s finish |
Set II |
|
| Illusion Still, I sit, unmoved Yet not still, growing ever Becoming other |
Denouement A universe of one petal, floating, dropping understanding comes |
Set III |
|
| He is dead Because of the love that I have for thee, I die and we are transformed |
Il est ne Mais parce que je t’aime mon cher ami, le morte est bon liberte pour nous |
