letra de zarathustra’s prologue - akira the don

the, the three transformations of the spirit
that’s nietzsche
that’s the, uh, prologue to
“thus spake zarathustra”
when you are a child, when you are young
you are a camel
the camel gets down on its knees and says
“put a load on me”
this is obedience
this is receiving the instruction
and information
that your society knows you must have
in order to live a competent life
when the camel is well-loaded
he gets up on his feet
and runs out into the desert, right?
he bеcomes transformed into a lion

[chorus]
the hеavier the load
the more powerful the lion
the heavier the load
the more powerful the lion
the heavier the load
the more powerful the lion
the function of the lion
is to k!ll the dragon
and the name of the dragon is
thou shalt
and on every scale of the dragon
there is a thou shalt imprinted
some of it comes from 2,000 years
4,000 years ago
some of it comes
from yesterday morning’s newspaper headline
when the dragon is k!lled
the lion is transformed into a child
an innocent child living out of its own dynamic
nietzsche uses the term
“ein aus sich rollendes rad”
a wheel rolling out of its own center
that’s what you become
that is the mature individual

[chorus]
the heavier the load
the more powerful the lion
the heavier the load
the more powerful the lion
the heavier the load
the more powerful the lion
the function of the lion
is to k!ll the dragon
the thou shalt is the civilizing force
it turns a human animal
into a civilized human being
but then the one who has thrown off the thou shalts
is still a civilized human being
do you see
he has been humanized, you might say
by the thou-shalt system
so his performance now
as a child
is not simply childlike at all
he has assimilated the culture
and thrown it off as a thou shalt
but this is the way in any artwork
you go to work and study an art
you study the techniques
you study all the rules
and the rules are put upon you by a teacher
then there comes a time of using the rules
not being used by them
you understand what i’m
what i’m saying?

[chorus]
the heavier the load
the more powerful the lion
the heavier the load
the more powerful the lion
the heavier the load
the more powerful the lion
the function of the lion
is to k!ll the dragon
[chorus]
the heavier the load
the more powerful the lion
the heavier the load
the more powerful the lion
the heavier the load
the more powerful the lion
the function of the lion
is to k!ll the dragon

[chorus]
the heavier the load
the more powerful the lion
the heavier the load
the more powerful the lion
the heavier the load
the more powerful the lion, lion, lion
the function of the lion is to k!ll the dragon
