i've got two lonely shadows
that are fit to kill
if one of them does not get me
the other has the will...
prayers for the high holy one.

The Chevalier de Saint-Georges landed at the bottom of the ocean of Djbaxx, in an oppressive silence. There was no land, only endless water and distant echoes of underwater volcanoes. These volcanoes seemed like sleeping monsters, their distant rumbles like drums of a forgotten war. The ship remained steady in this vast oceanic world. Vano, alone on board, had prepared for solitude, but the reality of silence was overwhelming. Nothing moved except for the subtle movements of the ship.

Then, a vibration passed through the ship, like a distant song, a wave that echoed into his soul. A speech, almost human, echoed in his ears—Winston Churchill’s famous words: "We shall fight on the beaches, we shall fight in the landing grounds..."

Vano did not immediately understand what was happening. This speech felt out of place in such an alien world. Why hear these words now? Then another voice rose, more intimate: "Cross the black eye and fulfill your destiny."

The words hit Vano hard. He felt a shiver. What did this "black eye" mean? He didn’t know, but he couldn’t ignore the call, even if he didn’t understand it. After an eternity, clarity crossed his mind. He had to leave, find some clarity, escape the endless loop. He activated the ship’s engines and ascended toward Djbaxx’s surface.

He finally understood. Djbaxx wasn’t a planet like others. It wasn’t just water—it was alive, evolving. The volcanoes, geysers, and bioluminescent creatures were part of this life. Djbaxx was the opposite of the demi-god of destruction. It embodied creation, regeneration, not collapse.

Djbaxx, in its essence, was more powerful than he imagined. It offered life, not destruction. The volcanoes weren’t there to destroy, but to fertilize the universe. As he ascended, he felt connected to Djbaxx. This planet was a gateway to a future where humanity could be reborn in harmony with the universe.

He hadn’t crossed the black eye, but his destiny was now tied to this living planet. He had to fulfill his mission. But it wouldn’t be a quest for vengeance, nor immediate war. It would be a journey toward understanding, toward the reconciliation of humanity with the infinite. Yet something lingered in the air, a latent threat, an uncertain danger. War, though silent, was there, lurking beneath the surface, ready to emerge. But for now, Vano knew he had to focus on what he could understand, what he had t...

The Chevalier de Saint-Georges moved away from Djbaxx, its silhouette blending into the infinite expanse of space. Vano knew that what he had discovered was just the beginning. A new era was on the horizon, and his role in it would be greater than anything he could have imagined.

Original song written many years ago after moving back to my hometown and nothing had changed, same old stuff and things still triggered.  Thankful for the good ol bridge and river though, which will always hold those bright times.  Thanks for listening!

Goodbye Bridge and River

Back in this town
Burns like fire
My mind is pounding like thunder
All the times I tried to be a giver
And all I ever got back was a shiver

Goodbye Bridge and River
Gotta fly but I will remember
All the bright times that we had
Keep outshining all of the bad

Cutting my eyes
Church on the corner
Flashbacks of an angry angry preacher
I survived I'm still a believer
Forgiving so my heart won't be bitter

Goodbye bridge and river 
Gotta fly but I will remember
All the bright times that we had
Keep outshining all of the bad

Goodbye bridge and river 
Gotta fly but I will remember
All the bright times that we had
Keep outshining all of the bad

Goodbye bridge and river
