Cyril Glaume Après un PI Nature frôlant de très près la perfection absolue, on voyait mal comment Ninjaspy pourrait emmener plus loin son mélange de fougueuses vénèrecoreries et d’indolence Ragga / Dub / Ska. Et en effet, Spüken "ne fait que" prolonger le plaisir, comme Countdown to Extinction après Rust in Peace, ou comme une lampée de Chablis après une fourchette de tagliatelles à la truffe blanche. Miam!

Speak 04:44
one tide, one wave, one moon. one night one will be one, soon. untold fortunes in six words, often soft spoken and not heard. if there's a dream that you've wrought but you haven't yet sung. speak that dream from the deep blackness, shattering lungs. are you gonna speak? speak all. one child, one fate, one doom. one beast, one cage, one room. infant builds a village if it can. it's a shame but it's just man. if there's a thought that mere words just can not illustrate, open your throat and devote your whole body and scream. are you gonna speak all? if i take this to my grave i took you at your word. vulnerability, rage, often seen but not heard. one black mark on white page. chances are you won't come back. maybe you'll find some peace. chances are... but if you don't come back at least you said your piece. are you gonna speak? speak.

i want to feel the earth when i throw this down. when every day is the last dance just feel it beat straight from the heart into the sun. your silhouette is striking. shuriken, know when your time is and take hold. shuriken dance. know when your time is and wait... in time i'll feel these words my limbs will know their sound. put all my strength into the last dance. just feel it beat straight from the heart into the sun. shuriken dance. get up your ass on that floor. this is your last chance. dance shuriken dance.

Brotherman 04:54
friends, they may come and go again. there are some that seem to blend and transcend the lines that define the family, crossing bloodlines, fault lines and finish linesto prove that they will still be here when we need them. they're the one's that help us to forget our regret and never look back. it's never too late. never look back on life and fret. we've got all this time to spend. we won't wallow in regret. we'll transcend the lines that define the family, crossing bloodlines, fault lines and finish lines to prove that we will still be here. we will be here. brothers and sisters. never look back. it's never too late. never let go. never look back on your life and think... !?!?!?!?!? friends who stand by me until the end, i promise I will be here to stand by you until the end. i promise i will be here until the end. i will be here, no shame, no regret. i will be here till the end, no shame, no regret. never look back.

and the earth shook, ebbing underneath my feet. and the windswept desert wept tears for me. and the waves went forth from the breath-shaped shallows i left behind. i will strive to walk the path of the immovable heart. it's all around me... means all awry, coveting the ends. sober nights so seldom had. humankind, some kind of man. what does my life portend? i will strive to walk the path of the immovable heart.

anti-violence anti-bodies. viral lashing in my body. this one's for your tight-clenched ass hole. tight lipped, i'm left sightless. you march upon my back. eternal spiral curve. acute dyslexic lack of terminal verbal velocity. shit piss spit vinegar and venom when i'm face to face with my enemies: the very thieves stealing my pride. ego-face, my disgrace. there is no time to decide who will die and who will survive. no defeat, no retreat, no meat, no mind. i'm caught up, i'm entrenched. torrential rise. suffering and sick with hate, peeled, ripe. anti-violence anti-bodies. violent lashing in my body. restless finger on the kill switch. one slip, wrong step, it's flipped. attack!!! a homicidal nerve split, tendons severed, snapped. synapses burn. no concern for life or death or pain. what have i become? i'm cut up as i retch, my clenched teeth grind. suffering and sick with hate, peeled, ripe. so i backup from the edge of rage and rewind. the serpent i recoil. i will keep what is mine. look me in the eye and see if you can find a single shred of meat that you can fit into your fantasy of my defeat. i won't be there, i won't be your next meal. no… nothing, i will become. become nothing and you can not be broken down. become nothing you can not be broken down. nothing. you can not be broken.

What!?!? 03:08
what's on the line? what's at stake? what's in this universe for me? all words watered down will fade like blood soiled the slips of silken wormhole wood. unknown forces push one forward back. undone understanding, unborn fact. all this is more than we can bargain for. it's all this life is for. undecided people say what!?!? the enlightened people say woop!!! all this time is worn upon one's back. shoulder borne and elbow thrown with tact. all our faces wear the years. what's pity for? for pity's sake? forsaken by our insidious flags. there's so much more here than we can bargain for. it's all this life is for. give up the echo, call with the answer. can't keep calling into question, why. out of the question rise instead. give up the echo, call with the answer. you can't keep calling out the question. what's on the line? what's at stake? what's in this universe for me? undecided people say what!?!? the enlightened people say woop!!! undecided people say what!?!?

shame is a thing that no one should feel. there's no shame in feeling good. itching, uncomfortable cause your skin's been flayed off by catty judgment calls. they're snatching your satisfaction. want some action? better catch them all before they break ya bones. you got to jump ya bones. i know that there's no telling where it started. oh no, you know i never ask why. all i know is when you're weary, start walking. shoulders, those, hips, these and thighs. i look the way that i want to feel but i don't feel the way i look. i'm much more comfortable when i'm free and i flail around. that's what my body's for. this floor can be all my booty call when i'm throwing down. and i will make that call, i'll never work the wall, i'll take it all on. you've got an erotic body. don't you doubt, you know you've got it. jump ya bones.

below the mellow undertow, a lung collapse. and throats are choking on the embryos depending on the posts, pillars and pedestals. the sky, the spinal bend, the eye beholds the constellation's smiles. we behold each other and we speak on for a while in search of another way. know how far we've come. feel the tracing sun. say to yourself you're alive. pick a scab of sky. meanwhile, awry, the taste of bile is buying time but time is null. epiphanies are breezing by and by and we are climbing through the undergrowth… death, we were cheating death. the cage is overhead. grip is in your fingertips but it can barely hold. it's these four fingers that won't let you fall. there has to be another way to say to you... know how far we've come. feel the tracing sun. say to yourself you're alive. pick a scab of sky. find yourself another way. find yourself.

Azaria 04:02
cut off an armistice. age: young. pages torn out by the arm of a scissor. sing a serenade, lullabilingual because it can't tell what you feel. azaria, as far as you may seem, here we are and life is not a dream. i can't believe, with all this time left barely touched we could bury all the things that we believe. i can't believe. cut cut cut off cut off azaria, as far as you may seem, here we are and life is not a dream. i can't believe, with all this time left barely touched we could bury all the things that we believe. i can't believe, as far as you may seem, here we are and life is not a dream. azaria don't fall asleep. we barely touched, we won't bury all the things that we believe. i still believe.

Slavehemence 05:44
with open arms i welcome change. open hearts can never be enslaved. i've got to change, my eyes have sunken in. i've never known of naught but suffering. i crossed the line and left right left right left my discipline behind. now i wonder why i can't sleep through the nights. cold fear for days. living a life of pain. i'm so afraid my heart will just give up one day. one never knows what one's own fate may bring. i crossed the line and stepped right left right left right out on a limb. i was blind. i can't sleep through the nights, cold fear for days. what keeps me alive when every day i might die? hope will carry you, smoke will bury you. hope will carry you and your yoke. a slave must carry on. smoke will bury you. there's a yoke a slave must carry on. with open arms i welcome change. open hearts can never be enslaved. when fear has come and when you fall, and you fear your pain, remember all that you have wrought, and feel your pain. it's your pain.
