Poem/Text used in the Prologue (welsh) and Epilogue (Old Norse) of Mono:
(((❚)))
We are a sign of empty meaning, indifferent and far from home.
Stolen from a dark continent, fallen from the sky or created by unseen forces.
As a path of an ancient sister world in the ancient dark beyond.
God is sound.
Frozen movement – Permanent rest – Shock.
Contemporary landscape is shaped with a preoccupation of fear.
A topography of terror. A landscape of contemporary war.
A reassuring container for angst.
Mode of destruction. A celebration of death.
Conceptual ruin. Concrete crypt.
Dynastic Mausoleum.
Mute as a stone. Frozen with fear.
You must remember to forget.
Linear void. Endless decay.
Negative beauty.
A temple minus the cult.
Wordless meditation.
Infinite Solitude.
Ursound from which sound is born.
Absence of pulse. Eternal nothingness. Endlessness. Death.
Monumental scale of void.
Nocturnal Darkness.
Silent as a tomb.
A mute form of encrypted secrets.
The death of the dead.
Only reflecting black.
If only my heart was stone.
