Το
συγκλονιστικό Οrders from the dead από την εξαιρετική δουλειά Defixiones, Will
and Testament που η μεγάλη ντίβα της avant garde σκηνής, Diamanda Galas,
αφιέρωσε στην Γενοκτονία των Χριστιανικών λαών της Ανατολής.
THE
WORLD IS GOING UP IN FLAMES
THE WORLD IS GOING UP IN FLAMES
THE WORLD IS GOING UP IN FLAMES
THE WORLD IS GOING UP IN FLAMES
THE WORLD IS GOING UP IN FLAMES
THE WORLD IS GOING UP IN FLAMES
THE WORLD IS GOING UP IN FLAMES
But
these flames are NOT new
To OUR dead
OUR dead did cry their final prayer in those flames
Our dead did sing their last lullaby in those flames
Our dead prayed to our infidelite GOD in those flames
Our dead whispered a last goodbye to their mother IN THOSE FLAMES
To OUR dead
OUR dead did cry their final prayer in those flames
Our dead did sing their last lullaby in those flames
Our dead prayed to our infidelite GOD in those flames
Our dead whispered a last goodbye to their mother IN THOSE FLAMES
Της είπα : " Μάνα μη σκιάζεσαι...
θα γυρίσουμε....
Έχε γεια μάνα...."
THE
WORLD IS GOING UP IN FLAMES
OUR dead
clawed their children close in
THE WORLD IS GOING UP IN FLAMES
THE WORLD IS GOING UP IN FLAMES
"Τα παιδιά μου καλέ!
Μην είδατε τα παιδιά μου;
Για όνομα του Θεού!
Ωχ! Μου τα πήρανε! Kαι τι να θέλω τη ζωή;
Τα παιδιά μου! Τα παιδιά μου!"
- "Βάλτε μια τρεχάλα για τη θάλασσα...
πέστε να σωθείτε..."
OUR dead
watched their daughters
16 times
RAPED AND BEATEN
in the still-burning of THOSE FLAMES
16 times
RAPED AND BEATEN
in the still-burning of THOSE FLAMES
OUR dead
watched an ax remove their
mother's skull
and crown a wooden spit
in the continuous burning of THOSE FLAMES
mother's skull
and crown a wooden spit
in the continuous burning of THOSE FLAMES
OUR DEAD
watched while Chrysotomos
eyes and tongue were pulled out,
teeth and fingers broken, one by one,
in the laughing and the cheering OF THOSE FLAMES
eyes and tongue were pulled out,
teeth and fingers broken, one by one,
in the laughing and the cheering OF THOSE FLAMES
"...αρπάξανε από την τετράδα μας...
του σκίσανε την κοιλιά με μια μαχαιριά
OUR DEAD
watched their sisters drenched with gasoline
and scream with melting skin
"THE WORLD IS GOING UP IN FLAMES"
and scream with melting skin
"THE WORLD IS GOING UP IN FLAMES"
OUR DEAD
gave birth to Turkish victories
the gurgling and then dying trophy.
on a bayonet which marked the borders of
THE WORLD WHICH IS GOING UP IN FLAMES
the gurgling and then dying trophy.
on a bayonet which marked the borders of
THE WORLD WHICH IS GOING UP IN FLAMES
"Για όνομα του Χριστού!
Μη μας αφήσετε!
Έχουμε μωρά μαζί μας, έχουμε γέροντες...κορίτσια...
Είστε υπεύθυνοι!
Ναύαρχε! Ναύαρχε!
Φωτιά! φωτιά!"
OUR DEAD
WERE DRAGGED IN MARCHES
THROUGH THE DESERT SUN
FOR WEEKS UNTIL THE SUN BURNED OUT THEIR LUNGS
THROUGH THE DESERT SUN
FOR WEEKS UNTIL THE SUN BURNED OUT THEIR LUNGS
and when
the desert sun which was burning them like flames
ripped apart their lips, we heard the final prayer
LORD GOD HAVE MERCY LORD UPON OUR SOULS!
ripped apart their lips, we heard the final prayer
LORD GOD HAVE MERCY LORD UPON OUR SOULS!
Μας προδώσανε! Μας ξεπουλήσανε!
Πανάθεμα τους!
Ναύαρχε τι κάνεις; Ναύαρχε σώσε μας!
Φωτιά! Φωτιά!
They saw
the WORLD IS GOING UP IN FLAMES
buried, not yet dead inside the pits
engraved:
buried, not yet dead inside the pits
engraved:
"GIAOURI,
INFIDELI:
OUR GOD HAS CHOSEN YOU TO DIE"
OUR GOD HAS CHOSEN YOU TO DIE"
Γονάτισε Γκιαούρη! και γονατίζει!
Ξεγυμνώσου! και ξεγυμνώνεται!
Άνοιξε τα σκέλια σου! και τα ανοίγει!
Χόρεψε! και χορεύει!
Φτύσε την τιμή σου και την πατρίδα σου! και τη φτύνει!
Απαρνήσου την πίστη σου! και την απαρνιέται!
And now
the unblessed dead have ordered us to say:
THIS is
my GRAVE, MY HOLY BED
YOU CANNOT take it
YOU CANNOT take it
YOU can
NOT ERASE MY NAME
YOU can NOT ERASE OUR DEAD
YOU can NOT ERASE OUR DEAD
YOU
CANNOT ERASE THE DEAD
Because we have been ordered now
to list their names, their numbers,
Because we have been ordered now
to list their names, their numbers,
to give
their date of birth, their earthly city,
their father's name, the sweetness
of their mother's eyes
their father's name, the sweetness
of their mother's eyes
GOODBYE
GOODBYE
GOODBYE
and forevermore
We'll see you when the desert meets the sky
But do not FORGET MY NAME
and forevermore
We'll see you when the desert meets the sky
But do not FORGET MY NAME
And so
these were the orders from the dead
said without a word but with a final glance:
the
said without a word but with a final glance:
the
SECOND
granted
to the Infidel
since an
Infidelite Hell
should NOT require a prayer
should NOT require a silent moment
should NOT require a prayer
should NOT require a silent moment
And now
the Infidel is told
to forgive and to forget
to understand :
to forgive and to forget
to understand :
Advance
into a paradise of Dead Memories,
of Living Death, the Old Folks Home
of Catatonia
of Madness
and Despair.
of Living Death, the Old Folks Home
of Catatonia
of Madness
and Despair.
"Do
not ask me for the NUMBER of that Grave:
It has been stolen."
It has been stolen."
"What
IS this love for bones and dirt?
Put this ancient thing behind you, Infidelite
You HAVE no claim to GOD
You Have no claim to PEACE
Yοu HAVE no claim to JOY
Put this ancient thing behind you, Infidelite
You HAVE no claim to GOD
You Have no claim to PEACE
Yοu HAVE no claim to JOY
YOU HAVE
NO CLAIM
YOU HAVE
NO CLAIM
YOU HAVE
NO CLAIM
GIAVOURI!!!!
Remember
just how lucky, sperm of Satan,
that you are:
to even BE
alive.
that you are:
to even BE
alive.
NOW!
Μας τινάξανε από τη σκάλα, όπως τινάζεις ένα
τραπεζομάνδηλο να πέσουνε τα ψίχουλα...
αφού αυτό είμαστε....
Είμαστε τα ψίχουλα....
Τα πετεινά του ουρανού θα χορτάσουνε από τα ψίχουλα....
HERE!
ACROSS
THE SEA!
GIAVOUR!
You HAVE
no God.
A man
without a God
Can NOT be burned ALIVE
He never WAS alive,
Can NOT be burned ALIVE
He never WAS alive,
not as a
MAN, giavour,
but as a DOG."
but as a DOG."
[PAUSE]
BUT I
HAVE orders from the Dead
that warn me:
that warn me:
"DO
NOT FORGET ME:
My blood will fill the air you breathe
FOREVER."
My blood will fill the air you breathe
FOREVER."
"MY
DEATHBIRD is Not DEAD
HE
CARRIES ALL MY TEETH:
MY SMILE
OF UNFORGETFULNESS,
MY
LAUGH!
VRYKOLAKA!
I am the
man unburied
who CANNOT sleep
IN FORTY PIECES!
who CANNOT sleep
IN FORTY PIECES!
I am the
girl,
dismembered
and unblessed,
dismembered
and unblessed,
I am the
open mouth
that drags your flesh
and will never rest
that drags your flesh
and will never rest
until
MY DEATH
IS WRITTEN
IN A ROCK THAT CAN
NOT BE
BROKEN!"
IN A ROCK THAT CAN
NOT BE
BROKEN!"
And
these are the orders
from The Dead.
from The Dead.
