Black Sails
Who could have had an unoriginal voice that could not disturb anyone, and who heard on a silent murderous night how they sobbed on the wall of the room of silent, drunken shadows? He could have spoken through human hearts: "Let There Be Light!"A dark call daily overpowered him and called him to fight: so the crying, overwrought child in him became more and more wild and stubborn!
For in every sentient soul there is a shadow looking back at us, as if we were looking among shriveled mirror tiles, staring at us like a grimace and sobbing! The time of the executioner is rapidly passing away, as in the poles of nutritious breast milk bodies, and when the All-dark despair, flirting with death, beckons more and more!
So far away from the brainwashed camp of bleating sheep, lone wolf breeds can hardly be raised anymore!
This is how his Minutemen were enslaved by the roaring stupidity! A sure recipe for smiling idiots and charm warblers! –
Fate may be dark! From pain and death, he kneaded with steady hands: where else can this bottom of the Earth produce true signs of comfort?
Today they are often denied by one another, and their most precious souls may not be noticed; the tear ducts of pearls flow from the vessels of Crater-eyes melted to the tune of streams! Stumbling self-mauling man-wreck! When Will you realize it yourself so you can live?! - Were you a dream of another era, and have you not learned to thrive in this silly, useless present? - The better half of your being would constantly guide you in the better direction! Stay on your feet even if a camp of sycophants will crush you or kick your ass!
