So begins disc 2… Nekrololikon song/lyrics sheet no. 16, “Symphony of Our Lady”.  This is the overture to Act 2, in which we find, having killed the Important Client/Train Attacker/Stalker/Nemesis who has sent her life into completely different tracks, our character has been working through her trauma, and believes that she has been visited by (to her mind) a sympathetic Kuan Yin-type entity whom she names “Our Lady of the Flies”.  Whether we choose to view this as a hiving off of trauma-reaction into a distinct personality, or as a visit from an actual entity is of little consequence.  Our character chooses a method of reintegration of the personality through a personal identification with, and deification of the entity, and this forms and frames the story as we move into the second half of our tale.

Lucky Strike lyrics (track nine)

Ok, stay with me here: Rumi reminds us that in the Sufi tradition, the dissolution of one's "self" into the original, undifferentiated "self" (essentially what we call "God") beyond the field of time is the ultimate experience sought after by the mystic... the Final Frontier. Why wouldn't I combine this musically with my love of Star Trek? Why wouldn't I try to sing Parsi like William Shatner? Why not link the idea of the inner worlds with outer space in an arabesque dance tune? Yeah, I boldly went there… Let There Be Light. 17 May 2019.
