歌词

[00:36.23] Unexpected ... suddenly ... as if from nowhere they appear,
[00:40.51] the monks are wearing fire-coloured gowns,
[00:44.30] their faces, friendly but determined, are hidden behind lacquered masks,
[00:49.27] painted black & white, they're having the shape of over-dimensional skulls.
[01:10.98] Quickly and nimbly they are moving forward, hopping dextrously,
[01:15.33] throwing their legs like ageless jesters ... so high up into the air.
[01:19.70] each of them is armed with a short , an even piece of wood,
[01:23.97] remarkably resembling ... ancient worn-out washing-boards.
[01:28.47] polishes by the years of use, they brandish them like swords or sticks,
[01:32.75] ready to strike ritually ... - this is the day of the remaining dead.
[02:03.57] On this day we celebrate the expulsion, or rebuke,
[02:07.93] of the spirits which have unintendedly been dragged along.
[02:11.98] some of these ghosts have been forgotten, some have simply been ignored,
[02:16.34] these remnants with a growing hunger ... must be exorcised, must be removed.
[02:38.22] This ritual always commences without warning, suddenly,
[02:42.54] therefore it cannot be assigned to a certain date or time.
[02:46.98] it rather tends to inevitably follow a chain of events,
[02:51.34] a special spiritual feature inherent in each and everyone of them.
[03:05.14] Out of the sphere of influence ... of the sphere of the days to be
[03:13.41] the monks are approaching, spinning on their own axis as they dance and sing
[03:22.46] and hitting every person present so hard between the shoulder-blades
[03:30.91] as everyone here is dragging fidget, invisible ... "appendages".
[04:01.62] As if by chance, not expressly invited, we've assembled here today
[04:06.00] vehemently we are being hit ... and driven through the western gates,
[04:10.22] out of the monastery in the direction of the setting sun
[04:14.18] a necessary purifying ceremony for the (fragile) days to come ...
[04:21.60]
