The Vigil - Birth - Track 05 - Inevitable (Monologue)
by the_vigil

Back in 2002, Hadi recorded this for a school project… and, well, it’s still like that ever since … I pause time amidst my chaos Because any second now, I’ll get my life-time layoff I search around, pondering what shall I find? In an area not rendered in space, nor in time, not understood by the mere human mind I play along, in this prewritten scenario hoping that stardom in this act will make me glow I seem to be grasping (but am not) every concept of this status But only one Divine, can conceive it, who else than the One Who created us! Again bedazzled by this awe-eliciting moment Mesmerized, a contemplation evading me, the thought to repent why should it come now, it’s too late! I’m surpassed now, trampled by my fate Although by letting time stand still I can sort out my anarchy, bedlam & pandemonium, till I’m fed up- till I get my fill But a force impedes me, leaving me powerless Not a twitch not a muscle, I’m sheepish I confess Consumed by the trepidation of this moment Not knowing how to repent How might I escape this “Alcatraz” this prison? This state is neither a game, not a play, not even a liaison It’s the turmoil that lacerates my flimsy being That blinds me, making me not capable of seeing Seeing that even if I pause time as long as I can I’ll die directly after that, because I am damned!!!!
