The Dôme
The Dôme
The birds sang in the cursed jungle
We had already been walking for three days and three nights
in the thick silence protected from the vines
our steps followed us and I preceded her
once again she said when the sun was setting
tell me again how what place we will go, we are going to the dome
and where we are going there are only people who have hoped for everything
the dome is immense in the heart of the forest and they say let it shine
for miles around
The birds sang in the cursed jungle
we walked slowly towards the dome of a hundred names
she patiently followed the poorly drawn path
and the evening set and she started again
Tell me all these people who built the dome
why did they only arrive at this only solution?
The question was good so I think about it
referring to the echoes heard a thousand times
Twenty years ago I believe the first was born madman
then later the epidemic took place
each city had two or three of these madmen
but no one at the beginning knew that they were crazy
They were only abnormal because of the ability they had
to never be interested for more than a minute
in anything
Some people killed themselves
and the others understood that they had to look for a place to go
this is how they built a great dome with a hundred names
and they say it lights up for miles around
and as we walked towards certain death
I began to believe in the fable of dice As for one day when I got up
I was seized with anxiety, a sort of dizziness, a feverishness
I heard the music and I saw the light
an immense glass ball rose before us inside
the shadows of my inventions
young men and girls repeated in hundreds
two thousand perfect replicas of me and her
gathered gently in the crystal sphere
drinking nonchalantly from fluorescent glasses
The music hammered a hundred leagues around
and the ©lighting created the albino birds
the most surprising of which were the hundred red and yellow toucans
in the middle of the night stoboscope
We were going towards the dome and there where we let's go
only people who have hoped for everything
The dome is immense in the heart of the forest
and it is said that it lights up for miles the circle
Inside gathered the despairing of time
the lost who seek paradise
I was told they were quite young
br/>and yet it seems that they only speak slowly
for miles around...
