Departure

[Verse 1]
It is necessary to begin the departure
From the splendour of the skies
And the colours of earth
To stand alone and face the silence of death

[Verse 2]
Part from curiosity, part from words
All the words that I've read and heard
And from water that I've seen and haven't seen
To die without seeing the ocean

[Verse 3]
Part from the air of the night and part from the air of the morning
Part from weeds
Part from a fruit tree and from a barren tree
From the lesser light and from the stars

[Bridge]
Abandon the sight of a flying bird
Part from the sight of a beast or an insect
Part from my friends and comrades
Part from the dampest of excitement
And from fear of the obscure madness

[Verse 4]
Part from the Shabbat
From the sweetness of the seventh day
Part from all work and art
From rituals
From rain and from all that is pleasing to the eye

[Verse 5]
It is necessary to part from knowing-Good-And-Evil of this world
Since other terms of good and evil are there
Part from what happened
From the deep sleep and from the dream
Part from shame, from the fear of death
From guilt, from curse, from exhaustion

[Verse 6]
Part from reflections about life
From reflections about human nature
From reflections about the nature of the universe
Part from reflections about the difference between myself
And the other
From reflections about identity
From reflections about my inner nature
From reflections about how little I know about myself
And about all that is around me
Part from the sensation of the soul facing the high mountains
Part from the need of food, from anxiety, from the ridicule

[Bridge]
Part from the clouds
From all that is changing
From the undefined
From fire, from stones and from wisdom
From the physical movement and from the inner movement
From love and from hate
From music

[Outro]
And before the end
To live with the fear of their death
And the certainty of my own
