<b>rock, sea and tree</b> by <i>Machiavel</i><br />(Marc Ysaye - Albert Letecheur)

Hidden in the shelter of the winds of torment

A rock and a tree were riding high

On a current of infinite nebula

From time to time, the sea,

With maternal gentleness,

Caressed the dreamy lovers with her foam

You know tree, there is beneath me

The power of the infernal Gods

You see rock, above me,

Billions of angels in heavenly chorus

We are the power and the glory edified

To defy all men and all Gods

The platinum armour we erected

In the wisdom of the third wave

Will never die...

Jupiter and Neptune hearing these

Defiant words call together

The paranoid counsel

The first time they had made council,

The Cyclope was defeated

For the glory of Ulyesses

They sent their strength and transcendant power

From the depth of the sea

And the height of the heavens

Thoughtless of the future, the rock and tree

Contemplated the sea

The slave, the sea, brought to’them

Magical fairy food and the cool wellbeing

Of the garden of Eden

The lovers turned their eyes

Towards the West

And low and behold on the horizon

The sea rising in a violent rage

Racing forward in a murderous folie

The sky black and heavy

Weighing upon this cataclysm

Which surged in fury

To annihilate the innocents

"Look the sea !

What does she want of us?"

"She ‘s going to destroy !

Stop sea ! Stop it ! "

But she fell upon them in thunderous roar

And in seconds they were no more !

They felt torn apart

In the depths of sorrow

And that bitter truth which was theirs

What remained the atrocious spectacle

To perceive each other thousands of miles apart

Separated by myriods of vengeful crystals

Which banished them forever

From the garden of Eden

"Do you know why I’m floating"

Cried the rock to the tree

Who felt oppressed by tons of evil liquid

The tree was silent

There was nothing to say

In another place, a tiny stone and a tree shoot

Were grooving together

And eternally they repeat these words :

"Jupiter, Neptune, and you the sea

Your wish will never be..."
