It has been recorded twice by both male (eastern Europe) and female (USA) artists, but has yet to see a major release.... and the beat goes on.

The narration includes quotes from Shakespeare’s "Hamlet" and "Julius Caesar", Gabriel Garcia Marquez’s "Love in the Time of Cholera", Paul Gaugin, "Where do we come from? What are we? Where are we going?" (title of his painting of the same name), and Haruki Murakami, “Norwegian Wood “.

Into the Eternal is dedicated to my friend and musical mentor, composer Ladislav Kubík (1946 – 2017).

Text for Into the Eternal  (Do Věčného):

Thou know'st 'tis common; all that lives must die, passing through nature to eternity. 
– Shakespeare, “Hamlet”, Act I, Scene II – 

Of all the wonders that I yet have heard, it seems to me most strange that men should fear; Seeing that death, a necessary end, will come when it will come. 
– Shakespeare, “Julius Ceasar”, Act II – 

To die, to sleep-No more; and, by a sleep to say we end the heart-ache and the thousand natural shocks
For in that sleep of death what dreams may come, when we have shuffled off this mortal coil… Must give us pause.
– Shakespeare, “Hamlet”, Act III, Scene I –

I discovered to my joy, that it is life, not death, that has no limits. 
– Gabriel Garcia Marquez, Love in the Time of Cholera – 

Where do we come from? What are we? Where are we going? 
– Paul Gaugin, (title of his painting of the same name) – 

Death is not the opposite of life but an innate part of it. By living our lives, we nurture death. 
– Japanese author Haruki Murakami, “Norwegian Wood” (“Noruwei no Mori”) – 

Look to this day for it is life, the very life of life.
In its brief course lie all the realities and truths of existence the bliss of growth, the splendor of action, the glory of power. 
For yesterday is but a memory and tomorrow is only a vision.
But today well lived makes every yesterday a memory of happiness and every tomorrow a vision of hope. 
Look well, therefore, to this day. 
– Ancient Sanskrit poem – 
* The original source is generally attributed to Kalidasa, an Indian Sanskrit playwright and poet active during the 4th-5th Century AD. His work was based on Hindu philosophy 

Walk right up ladies and gentlemen, walk right up! Everything Must Go! 
– Unnamed carnival barker –
