about

‘Enoch walked with God, and he was not, for God took him’.
The book of Enoch is an ancient Jewish religious work. Enoch learned about the stars and the planets when visiting heaven under the guidance of the archangel Uriel. In a world of evil and impurity brought to humanity by the fallen angels, before the biblical flood, Enoch stayed righteous. And so God took him.

lyrics

he loves his God the love
the hand of faith arriving
the kiss of death
the start of all once new

the sky so secretly hides the unknown reason
he’s seen the looking glass
when Satan curved his mind
now Enoch stands on top of the horizon
his God the love takes him by the hand

will you explain, he asks,
the stars and their relations
reveal the truth
the ending of the birth

my fellow humans in turmoil and descent
lay down the arms let go your promised land
the Book of Dreams rests on evil ones
the ravens join articulate and strong

Can you hear me?
Yes.
You hear that sound?
What is it?
I don’t know. I thought we were supposed to meet him here.
Have you ever seen him?
I, I never… It’s so dark in here.
You think there is a way out?
I have no idea…
What shall we do?
Wait, I guess. He called us, remember?
Yes, I do remember…
Maybe we should stop worrying and just see what happens…
You’re right. This is probably all…

...for the love of God

Is this me?
Where are you?
Can you hear me?
Is this me?
Where are you?

I see the crowds that cry
the wolves below are howling
is this the end of all that I once knew?
