“‘Veka’ (which means ‘centuries’ in Russian) was inspired by Anna Akhmatova’s poem ‘Is This Century Worse Than Those Before?’. I recited the poem in the beginning of the piece. The lyrics were written about my own questions of what it means to have legacy, both on a personal and species level.

Veka Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Look alive for the statues, no retake
Look alive before the worst is over, carry your legacy
When the words become you
When the story builds you in
Who will find you there?
[Chorus]
Who will find you
When all you are, all you are is dust?
Who will find you
In centuries?
[Chorus]
Who will find you
When all you are, all you are is dust?
Who will find you
In centuries?
[Verse 2]
When words become you
When all you've ever said
Is all that, all that will remain, remain
Is it all that, all that you've been hoping, hoping for?
[Chorus]
Who will find you
When all you are, all you are is dust?
Who will find you
In centuries?
[Chorus]
Who will find you
When all you are, all you are is dust?
Who will find you
In centuries?
