The Mute Hearts of Babylon

"The Mute Hearts of Babylon" the day the poets died a cloud past over the eyes of those who required the dance in music storms calmly stole electric love the new arrivals raged on while the beautiful dreamers woke too late sunk raptures looped on cue sucked in by a progressive 8 ball black holed sun all the melodies lost burning the Echo drums the Musae all silenced drowned 9's upside down all murdered inside out missing in the mute hearts of suffocating Babylon become the beckoning Moirai the day the poets died a cloud past over the eyes of those who required the dance in music (LadyLabyrinth / 2021) “Bombs” / Faithless (feat. Harry Collier) https://youtu.be/XibPzS3xtnw "We may regard the present state of the universe as the effect of its past and the cause of its future. An intellect which at a certain moment would know all forces that set nature in motion, and all positions of all items of which nature is composed, if this intellect were also vast enough to submit these data to analysis, it would embrace in a single formula the movements of the greatest bodies of the universe and those of the tiniest atom; for such an intellect nothing would be uncertain and the future just like the past would be present before its eyes."
