Lyrics
[Instructions for lyrics :
rely on repetition, slow build-up, and clear contrasts between solo and group lines. Maintain a reflective and intimate tone, echoing both the permanence and fragility that Bonnefoy evokes in his poetry]

Intro
Leader
Stone in
morning light-
Group
still, attentive,
LEADER
mute as the words
Group
that drift
out of memory.
All
You remain,
weightless
with what’s remembered,
LEADER
an open threshold
GROUP
as another sunrise
LEADER
folds itself
GROUP
against your
quiet surface.
slowly, together
All
Stone in morning light,
you remain.
Let the lyrics rely on repetition
Breakdown : spoken words lyrics
Aussi peu le poème
aura-t-il réussi à être
le dévoilement
de la Présence,
autant il a été en son commencement,
et demeure
-c'est là sa qualité négative, mais
qu'il ne faut pas méconnaître
- le dégel des mots,
la dispersion des notions
qui figent le monde, en bref
un état naissant de la plénitude
impossible : et s'il ne peut s'y tenir,
il en dit au moins l'espérance."
Chorus
Que la lumière
Ne soit pas cette griffe
-qui déchire
Toute forme (oh wo)
Toute forme
Toute espérance mais,
Mais une joie
Une Joie !
Dans les coupes même noircies
Du jour de fête.
Rasta !
Rasta fari! Skanking
Skanking reggae rules...
Ah! Let's chant in english...
Bridge
Stone beneath morning light,
still and listening,
what words have faded
into your patient silence?
You remain,
weightless with memory,
threshold for each sunrise
Verse
(Elegiac tone)
Stone left by loving hands,
cradling shadows of the gone,
your roughness wears
echoes of grief.
Name after name dissolves—
but you, cool stone,
bear the sorrow long
Verse
(A tone of hope)
Stone on the path,
sparked by the sun’s return,
let old dreams
flower from your cracks.
Echoed
May what we forget become seed—
and from stone’s heart,
let new remembering rise.
Fade out : Chorus
They say light is a child
who plays, wants nothing,
only dreams or sings.
If ever it comes to us,
it’s always in play,
REPEAT
its distracted foot
touching earth—
the way dawn might arrive.
Looped
Outro
Stone beneath morning
light,
still and listening,
what words have
faded-
Fade out
-into your patient silence?
You remain,
weightless with memory,
threshold for each sunrise
Final recitation
Pour moi, la Poésie me tient lieu de l'amour parce qu'elle est éprise d'elle-même et que sa volupté retombe délicieusement en mon âme;
mais j'avoue que la science
que j'ai acquise, ou retrouvée
au fond de l'homme que je fus,
ne me suffirait pas, et que
ce ne serait pas sans un
serrement de coeur réel que
j'entrerais dans la
"Disparition suprême,"
si je n'avais pas fini mon Oeuvre,
qui est l'Oeuvre, le Grand'Oeuvre,
comme disaient les alchimistes,
nos ancêtres."
