about

There is no good and evil in war. And peace is unfortunately in no sight and every war is inevitable for reasons purely human. Authorities need the concept of good and evil to define "We" and "them" and separate both categories from each other. And if you accept this concept then propaganda works perfectly. And it works perfectly even though when there is no real war going on. There is a war ongoing every day on the abstract battlefield and yet we have to choose our every move from which there is no turning back. There is no excuse for our bad deeds and guilt remains unquestionable.

lyrics

JAK SE ROZLOUČÍM?

I.

Smutek je žlutý a šesticípý
jako Davidova hvězda
Zbyly jen prázdné lavice
přátelé jeden po druhém mizí
Proč já ne?
Bůh má zavřené oči a spí
A nikdo z nás neví proč

II.

Tma
Tichý tanec v náznacích
Nejistota a strach

Zatažené závěsy,
šepot a chlad

Lhostejnost k tváři cizí
Poslední rozeběhnutí
Tma

***

Text je inspirován povídkouvou knihou Mí černovlasí bratři Ladislava Fukse a novelou Romeo, Julie a tma Jana Otčenáška.

HOW DO I SAY GOOD-BYE?

I.

Grief is yellow and hexagonal
as the Star of David
Only empty school desks left
Friends disappears one after another
Why am I still here?
God has his eyes closed and sleeps
And nobody knows why

II.

Darkness
Gentle dance in the indicated motion
Uncertainty and fear

Curtains retracted,
whispers and cold

Indifference towards face of someone else
Run out for the last time
Darkness

***

These lyrics was written under the influence of two books. First is dealing with atrocities of WWII from a perspective of non-jewish school boy. The other one may be known for its film adaptation with the same name as the book - Romeo, Juliet and Darkness.
