Two voices alternate through a spoken-word poem about seeking asylum from war and terror. They invoke Bitter Lake, Whiskey Cliff, and Victor's lights while repeating phrases like "shelter from the raging anger." The piece blends melancholic imagery with a refugee's perspective on distance, resistance, and an unknown path ahead.
The sky deep that morning, seeking asylum from the terror, reaching out for what is away, shelter from the raging anger raining down on me.
Strange receipt for all who's hurting, getting lost between the lines. It's the stuff that keeps returning, laughing loud in Victor's lights. Up, up, up on Whiskey Cliff, soon the cold will whistle through.
Push aside the warm sea airs, fill the sails that carry you. Seeking asylum from the terror, reaching out for what it's waiting for. Shelter from the raging anger, Rainin' down on me. Reaching out for what it's worth. Shelter from the raging anger raining down on Bitter Lake.
Many miles are put between. Know what once was and what will be. Sleepwalk right here to sweet dreams. Each step inside to Easter me. Every whisper sings Resistance. All emotions hide inside. Refugee looks to the distance. Out there somewhere lies his path.
Seeking asylum from the terror. Reaching out for what it's worth. Shelter from the raging anger raining down on the earth.
