el grito de las estrellas hizo eco,
en los valles oscuros dormidos.
cuando el primer tinte rojo abrazó
el cielo púrpura de la sabiduría i

Blitzinferno / Lightning Inferno / Inferno de relámpago  

Im Blitzinferno
Zerreißt Donner die Stille
Hagel wie Winter

Lightning Inferno
Thunder discerps the silence
Hail white as winter

Lightning Inferno
Thunder discerps el silencio
Ave blanca como la de invierno 
 
Relámpago Inferno

The life lived

I live next door to a street lamp
full moon every night
On an enormous heavenly canvas
A Lone Star shine

it must be cold up there.
I wave, it blinks back, and fireflies dance.

Inspired by the writings of our own Maurice Rigoler

*la casa blanca = the white house
*je ne sais quoi = a quality that cannot be named easily....
