What are words worth?

WORDS & TRANSLATION

Mit der Königsdisziplin vertraut werden, dem Feind die Hand reichen, der Liebe ins Wort schauen, mein Herzwohl in den Raum öffnen und verzichten auf das Normale, vergessen, was normal war, mein Jetzt, das Katastrophale, ins Licht stellen, anvertrauen, übergeben, die Sichel vom Nacken nehmen, den Brand von den Flammen lösen, Abschied nehmen vom Gewohnten, ich werde diesen Weg gehen.

To become familiar with the supreme discipline, shake hands with the enemy, intervene/look in the word of love, open my heart's well into space and forgo the normal, forget what was normal, put my now, the catastrophic, into the light, entrust, surrender, take the sickle off the neck, part the fire from the flames, say goodbye to the usual, I will go this way.

This is part of a collaborative venture.  From Augenmerk:

Riders in the storm use their wings from heart to heart. No borders. Become familiar with the supreme discipline. The heaven is possible. These times want voices, bridges, roads of love. At the beginning there was the word, I'm not sure, but here it is. Be fantastic and ride! People around the world, artists, musicians, vocalists, participate in your own way, style and language. Spread and connect. Be riders in the storm!

Ich werde diesen Weg gehen (ft. Augenmerk)

This track poses all of the fundamental questions that have troubled humankind since the dawn of time, and fails to answer any of them.

Questions

What are words worth?

Time and tide and Slime and slide and Crime and cried and
Dream and died and Scream inside and Gleam and glide and
Mime and mired and Prime and pride and Rhyme and ride and
Vine and vired and Wine and wired and Shrine and shade 
Fear and fade and Line and lied and Spine and spied and
Time and tide

Much admired and Acts inspired and
Lost inside and Totally wired and
Petrified 
Events conspired and
Odds defied
Paternal pride 
Reluctant bride 
Secrets confide and Warm inside
False override
Gentrified
Personified
Occupied and
Time and tide

Withering looks
Dithering minds

Won’t somebody think of the children?

Time & Tide

I've used this quote before:
"The trouble with the world is that the stupid are cocksure and the intelligent are full of doubt" Bertrand Russell.

I'll probably use it again, but I'm not sure...

If somebody was to ask me what this track is about, I would say: it's about five and a half minutes.

Riddled With Doubt

It’s hard to put faith in the wisdom of choice
When reality sinks in a cesspool of noise
…from overgrown boys

Old Aunty balances truth with lies
And fantasy island is never corrupted with facts
…by the usual hacks

They wallow in excesses of self-esteem
They swagger and they bluster, born to rule
…the archetypal fool

Convinced yourself that they’re better than you
But scratch away the surface and you see what’s true
They’re imposters too

Imposter

A version with words...

Nostalgia isn’t what it used to be
But don’t expect sympathy 
In the cold and the rain, again
The charlatans have inherited the earth
For what it’s worth
In the cold and the rain, again
Drowning in a sea of mediocrity
Welcome to the idiocracy
In the cold and the rain, again
But winter cannot last forever
On the never never
In the cold and the rain, again

WinterSong (with words)

A combination of bemused rantings into the disinterested void & ambient doodling. Visit https://craigwinstanley.online I would like to create dark impenetrable experimental music, but I'm too fond of melody...
