Vã Revelação
Music by John Finbury, Lyrics by Apoena Frota

Dentro do Silêncio
Ante ao firmamento
Prefiro derramar-me em mar
Emaranhado ao fundo

No azul cinzento
O meu complemento vai
Perdido entre chão e ar
Na luz do devaneio

Vou ficar, me entregar
Até o sol nascer
Estrela sumindo devagar
Vem dissipar meu resplandecer

E vão ruindo todos os sentidos em contradição
Em sim, em não, em tudo o que estava contido em sua vã revelação

Breve pensamento
Breve o som, palavra
Que lavra sustentar o som
Que ostenta a própria alma

Dentro do espelho
Submerso em água
Deságua sempre, sem cessar
No curso em movimento

Vou ficar, me entregar
Até escurecer
Estrela surgindo devagar
Vem flamejar meu resplandecer

E vão ruindo todos os sentidos em contradição
Em sim, em não, em tudo o que estava contido em sua vã revelação
=====================
Vain Revelation

Inside the Silence
Before the firmament
I prefer to pour myself into the sea
tangled in the depths

In ashy blue
my complement goes
Lost between ground and air
In the light of daydream

I will stay, let myself go
Until the sun rises
Slowly fading star
Come dissipate my glow

Contradicting senses go crumbling away
In yes, in no, in all that was contained in it’s vain revelation

Brief thought
Brief the sound, word
As swords sustain the sound
That flaunts its own soul

Inside the mirror
Submerged in water
It flows always, without ceasing
On the moving course

I will stay, let myself go
Until day turns into night
Star slowly rising
Come and blaze my glow

Contradicting senses go crumbling away
In yes, in no, in all that was contained in your vain revelation
