The excerpt is a lyrical, poetic proclamation performed by Amistat during the Saint Stephen’s Day celebrations in Budapest (2021). It weaves a series of vivid metaphors and repeated refrains to convey a collective call to awaken. The speaker invokes “love and light” for those who awaken, contrasts them with those who remain asleep, and frames humanity as “old souls” bearing wounds and a disease in their veins. A sense of duty is emphasized, referencing a mythic “Sinbad” figure tasked with halting a “kingdom that bleeds.” The poem also declares that the oceans, once silent, are now speaking, suggesting a shift from oppression to awareness. Overall, the piece functions as a hopeful yet urgent summons for spiritual and societal awakening, using mythic and natural imagery to underscore responsibility and transformation.

Chapters

The foundations are sailing no more. A hidden world we choose to ignore. Love and light to those who awaken. Love and light to those who awaken. Love and light to those who awaken. Love and light to those who awaken. Those who won't wake. Old souls we are, we bore the rain, feeding our wounds, the disease in our veins. We must not forget our duty, sinbad, to halt this kingdom that bleeds in our steps. And the oceans are silent no more. A hero's tale. Silent no more. A hidden world. We choose to know.
