Soundtrack To A Vacant Life

The Flashbulb Soundtrack To A Vacant Life Lyrics
1.Prelude


2.Kirlian Voyager

Down through the centuries the notion that life is rounded in a
dream
has been a pervasive theme of philosophers and poets.
So doesn't it make sense that death, too, would be wrapped in
dream?
That after death, your conscious life would continue,
in what might be called a dream body?
It would be the same dream body you experience in your everyday
dream life,
except that in the post-mortal state - you could never again
wake up.
Never again return to your physical body.

30.Suspended In A Sunbeam

(Spoken excerpt from the 1994 book 'Pale Blue Dot' by Carl
Sagans)

...Every saint and sinner in the history of our species lived
there on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam

The Earth is a very small stage in a vast cosmic arena

Think of the rivers of blood spilled by all those generals and
emperors so that, in glory and triumph, they could become the
momentary masters of a fraction of a dot

Think of the endless cruelties visited by the inhabitants of one
corner of this pixel on the scarcely distinguishable inhabitants
of some other corner, how frequent their misunderstandings, how
eager they are to kill one another, how fervent their hatreds

Our posturings, our imagined self-importance, the delusion that
we have some privileged position in the Universe, are challenged
by this point of pale light

Our planet is a lonely speck in the great enveloping cosmic dark


31.When The Sky Ends

When the leaves are fallen,
And the sky turns gray.
May your tears remember a more joyous day.
I would have lived in envy of a world embraced.
But this escape works only with myself erased.
