Lyrics:
Adeni kahteh
Iseri koveni
Edenash adeni

Askadeh er crado
Saka nedisheh vado
Isa keni-eh ehdi

(additional high part on chorus repeat:
Ahdikah veh
Keh dehsha va-ni
Isa keni-eh ehdi)

Sakesh vetah edah naro


Translation:
“Adeni kahteh”:  To quest for the nature of divinity; to strive for the divine; to find the center above.  Not a calm quest for enlightenment, but an intense need for it.

“Iseri koveni“: To strip the self; to rip away flesh; like peeling an onion to achieve that enlightenment.

“Edenash adeni”:  concludes the thought by turning the whole thing around - The light is in the shadows, the wheat is in the chaff, or, that the nature of divinity are the pieces stripped and thrown away in the previous step.  On a poetic level, it's saying that the perfected form, the divine state, was the need itself.  The beauty and the truth were there all along.

“Askadeh er crado”  excelsior plus suffering; a noble ordeal, the honor of having endured, plus the humility of the price you had to pay for it

“Saka nedisheh vado”  literally ‘spoken prescription vessel’

“Isa keni-eh edi”  literally ‘a mote of dust among ashes twinkles’; all vocal parts converge on this phrase to emphasize the profound importance of such a seemingly insignificant thing.  "Edi" itself means particle, but it's also an affectionate diminutive for beauty in simplicity, so the entire language of the phrase literally ends on the single imagery of that one shining particle.

Together, the last two lines allude to the noble ordeal ironically, setting it up as a huge event that ends with all focus on the smallest, most insignificant part of it.  In essence, to go through a huge, epic struggle or battle for enlightenment only to look down at the end and find it in a tiny twinkling speck of dust.  The chorus can be summarized as “This great thing in its smallness.”

(The additional refrain in the 2nd chorus contains less meaning.  It is mostly a sing-songy echo of the above translation as it was added much later in the writing process.  It merely supports the underlying meaning of the rest of the song.)

“Sakesh vetah edah naro”:  ‘Seek ye here what you already know.’  The last line alludes to the end of the verse--that beauty and truth were there all along.

I was in a bit of a lull, and this brought me back out again. It's a defiant piece, with a delicious progression, and I very much enjoyed the writing and the producing. If you enjoy the listening, we're on to a winner!

The title of this music has an important message to pass on : it represents the strength inside us. The deepest strength which gives us the courage to push our limits, to overcome our fears. That's this hidden shadow which eventually reveals you, for who you really are. My first objective when I compose a new music is to help the largest number of people. Therefore, this music has to be the key of the beginning of the victory !
