SAHARA BLUE
(Hector Zazou)

VICTIM OF STARS
Words are blinded and the bows
released
Lights tiny arrows pierce the moon
I turned the tallow in the hand of sleep
A victim of stars for want of a room
I raised the boat in a sea of sound
Astonished
Absolutely spellbound
Hungry heart in a house of bread
Stoned in anger at the garden fence
Hung from elms and shot with lead
A victim of stars without defense
I raised the boat in a sea of sound
Astonished
Absolutely spellbound

TO A REASON
[words by Arthur Rimbaud]
Your finger strikes the drum
Dispersing all its sounds,
A new harmony begins.
Your step is the rise of new man,
Their setting out.
You turn away your head:
New love!
You turn your head again:
New love!
"Alter our fates, destroy our
plagues,
Beginning with time",
Sing the children.
They beg of you:
"Make out of anything the stuff of our fortunes
and desires."
Come from always
You will go away
Everywhere.
