A Slow Vertigo
Act I: Spring
(Place: The plain)
Scene I: A slow vertigo...
(Characters: Nimim / Sor-Dna)
(Nimim:) Akphaezya,
Your air rotten by blood,
With the flavor Of our love,
Is a nauseating blend!
(Sor:) See only a peaceful dove, (my dear,)
My heart beats the deepest mixing of blood...
And love...
(Nimim:) All I can hear is the shame that shall
Mean your name if you would ask for my hand.
This must end!
(Sor:) No shame but pride without the need to hide.
(Nimim:) No need to hide with no one on our side?
(Sor:) They only need someone to believe in.
(Nimim:) Khym was the guide!
(Sor:) Become my bride, I love you Nimim.
(Nimim:) Could this twilight bring its taste of death
To the deep night I've so often embraced.
(Sor:) Could a new dawn touch this dead lands
And hold our hope drown under a burning sand!
(Both:) A slow vertigo, just the echo of tomorrow...
(Nimim:) I fall from your arms,
I fall even though you hold me...
... The strongest you can.
I fell without you... I fall!
Swear that won't happen!
(Sor:) Across my heart, the hope to dive,
To save you from the void is...
An honor Π1 strive to avoid!
(Nimim:) The empty world of easy words
Is nothing but a crown that punishes the wise...
And where fools arise!
(Nimim:) Our passion will lead to apocalypse!
(Sor:) That's not what says your skin under my lips...
(Nimim:) But what could follow should wait...
The Nuptiae!
(Sor:) So, you've replied?
(Nimim:) I'll be your bride, I love you Sor-dna.
Could this twilight bring its taste of death
To the deep night I've so often embraced...
(Sor:) Could a new dawn touch this dead lands
And hold our hope drown under a burning sand!
(Both:)A slow vertigo, just the echo of tomorrow...
(Both:) A slow vertigo, just the echo of tomorrow...
If we fall, it will be from the highest!
The sun sets over the wound
Healed by the duet with the moon
(Sor:) Follow me in this astral dance...
(Nimim:) But remember that this ballet means:
Temperance!
(They kiss & Sor-Dna leaves)
