Discontinuity


Must it end here
Must the cycle break
The continuity stopped
All that is good - lost

Does it all end here
At the gates of Hell
Will there be redemption
Can I reach salvation

Is all nothing but discontinuity
No hope of a life after life
No chance of painless existence
Only a world of sorrow

I can't accept this
There must be something
All men are of good and of evil
It can't be that simple - can it?

[Kassiopeia]

I feel so uncertain. And somehow hopeless.
I know that a man without his loved one is not a man as a whole.
It is true; without you, I would be only half of what I am.
When I am with you, I feel at ease.
With you, I can be relaxed.

I wither when I can't see you.
For when you are by my side, nothing can hurt me.
I can't be injured, I can't be embarrassed.
The whole world around me could all well collapse -
As long as you would be there, everything would work out.

Sure, I have my weaknesses. Big and small ones.
My gravest weakness is this feeling.
That sensation, it makes me loose my mind.
I can not eat, I can not sleep, I can not study.
All I can do is think and dream.

Thinking is the curse of our kind.
Thinking takes new course, new directions.
It leads us to undiscovered paths.
It gives us entirely new ideas.

When I start to think, my mind has only one course.
You probably know by now, what that course is.
I have only one wish, one dream, one goal.
To be with you, your smile, your laugh, your essence.

Fear begins to haunt my mind.
I fear loosing you, nothing else.
That is why I tell you of my feelings.
It is my only hope.

Am I the only one thinking this song is beautiful? It's Afer Ventus by Enya, and you all should download and listen to it. I even tried translating the lyrics.

Mare Nubium - Umbriel
Mare Imbrium - Ariel
Et itur ad astra.
Et itur ad astra.
Mare Undarum - Io - Vela

Mirabile dictu. Mirabilia.
Mirabile visu. Mirabilia.
Et itur ad astra.
Et itur ad astra.
Sempervirent. Rosatum.

Afer Ventus. Zephrys.
Volturnus. Africus.
Et itur ad astra.
Et itur ad astra.
Etesiarum. Euras.

Suus cuique mos. Suum coique.
Meus mihi, suus cuique carus.
Memento, terrigena.
Memento, vita brevis.
Meus mihi, suus cuique carus.

Translation:

Nubian Sea - Umbriel
Imbrian Sea - Ariel
And repeat towards the stars.
And repeat towards the stars.
Undarian Sea - Io - Vela

Incredible to say/tell. Miracles/miraculous.
Incredible to see. Miracles/miraculous.
And repeat towards the stars x2
Sempervirent - no idea, "sempere" is Italian IMO. Rosatum - something about roses?

After Ventus. Zephrys - Wind from west.
Volturnus - something about turning? Africus- Africa?
And repeat... x2
Etesiarum - in Greek, this *could* have something to do with the sky, but this is Latin! Euras - Wind from east. (Oppose to Zeprys, add to the Mare theme in the first verse and this is starting to sound sane!)

No idea;

Suus cuique mos. Suum coique.
Meus mihi, suus cuique carus.
Memento, terrigena - Memories/memento, born of Earth/Earth's relative/Relative to Earth
Memento, vita brevis - Memories/memento, "life is short" (Ars longa, vita brevis).

Hey, Cyan is foxy!

Computers run on smoke. If the smoke comes out, the computer won't work.

- This time it was the Marine Intelligence who got to it, I think there will be jurisdictional disputes in no time (hint to any Morganite probe teams) -

[Kassiopeia]

Yeah, one would think we've been smoking some serious for the time being.
There's a rational explanation to all of this. Whether you will be privy to it, is questionable.
