[5:12]

In the wordless chamber

they feared Death

desperately.

Thus they clustered

to the fruits of the Earth.

Craving diversion,

as if to avoid knowing why.

In the wordless chamber

they feared life

desperately.

Thus they proclaimed

any given truth

and swallowed,

as if to justify their fear.

He knew that there had been hordes of seers

before him who set out to cure.

Though, the sick wished not to part with their decease,

as if it made them feel alive.

In the wordless chamber

he accepted desperation

and the unpredictable manifestations

of hope.
