lyrics

in the cycles of language
of tongues
of flesh
of oracles
of the subject
of the other
of the secrets of the cypher
the individual myth
the great warriors
the great warriors in the memory of men
in the universal conflict
in the work of the memory
in which the child is born into language
reversed in repetition
in order
in it's own object to itself
must be remembered
that in this fact
that in this moment
possessions are achieved
became perfected
mastering privations
in them that the moment becomes human

that the cycles of language
of tongues
of flesh
of oracles
of the subject
of the other
of the secrets of the cypher
the individual myth
the great warriors
the great warriors in the memory of men

in anticipating provocation
back to speech
to sputtering the vocable
to saying
and this object
simply embodied in the unconditional certain
attested or not in memory
of its circular sense

that the cycles of language
of tongues
of flesh
of oracles
of the subject
of the other
of the secrets of the cypher
the individual myth
the great warriors
the great warriors in the memory of men
