about

Sleep is an exercise in songwriting focusing on tension and release within the context of the metaphorical associations related to the concept of sleep. A solo demo version of this song is on the cassette release Decollate. With the full ensemble taking on the song, I decided to write lyrics that infused the poetry of Bataille matched with some of the elements of the Acéphale group. The lines from this poem are drawn from the book: the Collected Poems of Georges Bataille, 1998. Translated and edited by Mark Spitzer.

lyrics

Sleep
Lyrics: Georges Bataille
Adapted and expanded by: S.S.N.L.
Translation: Mark Spitzer
Vocals: Set Sothis Nox La

Numb
Mumbling in ineptitude
And decrepit chatter

This icy fog of man
Demand and death
Villainess inane
Detain… disdain the malignant
Sleep… Sleep…
Malign

I climb up from the sea
Sleep claws at my corpse
The grave’s horse-teeth
Chatter… Death chatter

Wheeze….
Sleep
Surging tide
Arise… Arise…
Sorcerer’s apprentice
With burning heart
Dagger in hand Strike this heart of man!
Arise…
