The Martyrdom of a Catastrophist

"And if I transgressed, and went into many fields of science and humanities, it was not because I was born a rebel. I was coerced to trespass..." "The belief that we are living in an orderly Universe, that nothing happened to this Earth and other planets since the beginning, that nothing will happen 'till the end, is a wishful thinking that fills the textbooks... And your textbooks are still of Victorian vintage." Why do we call for a sun's rise? When the raining of fire will atone Born on the floor, it's our birthright Facing the spires of control The belfry calls out to our fathers To lead us all down to our knees Silence is bred with conversation The chimes ring out our defeat (You know that we try hard...) God dares...waits, oh! My fate wakes, oh!

Lightning proclaims! The Earth is in flames Violence begins as our gods ascend Thrown on a pyre, its mythos inspired Fading away, the prophet, the sage God damns us to fire, and my lye will wash over you... We're born into this foul design We take it with ease, you know it's not right The needing to know, it's a common desire They're feigning control, conspire Why deny? You know you feel it The old erratics, the ghosts in static You know not, what you call out More fire! Wade out to the gyre As we roam, a shore is shown... It ushers in the fearless and the meek Don't you see? We're searching on shorelines... We'll stoke the fire, but ignore the tide... It's failed to rise Look up! The force! The calm! The storm!

"Is there any physicist here that would stand up and defend the proposition that only the gravitation and inertia are in action in the solar system? but of all my heresies, this was the greatest..." "And let me ask you another question: Is the theory of Uniformitarianism, which means that nothing that happens, what happened in the past, could have happened if it doesn't happen today? On this is built the modern Geology, on this is built the modern Astronomy, on this is built the modern biology and the thеory of evolution..." "And so, it is only wishful thinking that we are living in a safе, never perturbed solar system... on a safe, never perturbed Earth."

Prepare yourself to face the coming change! Wake up defiant and warn the others Wake up the fire inside your voices! We are defined by what we inspire... Remembering the end of the world... brings me restless nights Calling me from above, a choir recites: "Change is coming!" And I awaken the fire inside my voice I tremble and shake as it fills the void The day turns into night... I am catastrophe We are fire in form, and I want to wake myself, make myself Rise up, rise up to fall... Why don't you lay it down, lay it down on the line And then we will rise! Living in the dirt, breathing in my worth Make no mistake, this is my rebirth Before the days of the cataclysm, we obeyed the law of one We just wanted to breath, we wanted to be... We are the sons of war, married to a past violently ignored So I face my imperfect desires, waiting for this age to expire We are fire in form, and I want to wake myself, make myself Rise up, rise up to fall... Why don't you lay it down, lay it down on the line And then we will rise! "The story of human memory of catastrophes that took place in historical times, strangely-despite the fact that they were described in so many sources- is as if non-existent for the scientific world..."

"I could only immerse myself into the books that spoke of ancient times. And two works came out of it, actually were born six months apart, in the Spring of 1940. And then I knew that I would have to stay long, here." Working through the night, waiting for a sign As I sacrifice under candle light Books bury the room, the comforts of a tomb I'll rewrite everything that we knew Obsession takes my life as the years they pass me by I grow tired as day breaks into night The more I perfect, the more blood I shed Because the better we are, the harder we starve I am confined to scorn my life Because the better we are, the farther we'll go to scar We are so curious We are the fault in all we know I am consumed And it just kills me when I'm out of the room I cannot give up, it's almost done I'm just waiting for a sign from above War fares, blood shared Do you notice, we forget We're born of the same design But there is a great divide The force of the lore The fate we ignore Born with a blinded eye We are designed to find The source of the soul The faith they withhold My life is not mine I gave it to the world It's closing in, my battle begins Now it's my time to show all The true wrath of god The past we forgot And I will shine light for all Bound to the signs above

"So it was tragic time when I could do nothing, and my work would find quite an opposition, but I did not know the extent; The extent of this opposition and the violence." I've waited to face the world on a stage My time is now, I answer to Sariel The Order attacks at will, there's blood to spill Wage war Lay down your life to the night sky They're waiting for just one world They're digging my grave while I stare away At the starlit sky, I answer to Sariel They hold me under the ground as I'm screaming out Wage war Lay down your life to the night sky They're waiting for just one world Please help me through this time Please give me one more sign How can you deny When I gave my life All of my life, I've waited to rise They hold my heart for sacrifice So I call out to Wage war Lay down your life to the night sky They're waiting for just one world

"I knew Einstein since 1921 or 22... We discussed one subject, always the very same subject: whether electrical magnetic fields are participating in the celestial mechanism or only gravitation and inertia, as he would claim. Because this was the view of not only his, but of all of the scientific community. At one point the debate, I offered to stake our positions on the claim I made that Jupiter sends out radio noises. nine days before his death, he wished to see me... and I brought the news that this was discovered." "My wife was always present during those meetings, and after he died, she made the picture you see on the wall. My wife is actually a sculptor; she exhibited in the Metropolitan Museum, the Whitney Museum, The University of Pennsylvania Art Museum, and many other places... But, she was endowed with two talents: one as violinist, chamber musician, and the other, as a sculptor."

On the night that we met The feelings of dread We knew it'd be hard God I love the regret My work is all I know I swear when I’m done Our life can be as one But we just have to wait For the time when we're right I can feel it inside My god we've waited so long This time will go far We’re born to follow With heart and soul And we're so torn And it's so hard (to hold) Now we scared to find out The heights of love 'cause it's so high And we're so far Wait for the time when we're right I can feel it inside My god we've waited so long This time we took will go far The patience we have shown No others can fare Our story is the one Only few can compare We will both exchange a smile When we tell the kids our trials This is what we have inspired No matter what our fate I will always be yours And those days I turned away You were always my world Wait for the time when we’re right I can feel it inside My god we’ve waited so long This time we took will go far Wait for the time when we're right I can feel it inside My god we’ve waited so long This time we took will go far

Why don't you come home Why don't you come alone Why don't you try How'd you get lost I want you to know I will always decide to be by your side Wait now, we want to find out why you won't... Wake up Wake up, dear sir (You're ready to go) Wake up Wake up, it's done Go home tonight She's waiting there all alone I don't want to give up on life So I'm spending my time in patient isolation I've fallen so hard Left the one I care about in the dark It's nothing more than a selfish pain I've kept for too long It's time to let go I'm on my way home To get back what we've lost Wait for me now Waiting all night Wake up Wake up, dear sir (You're ready to go) Wake up Wake up, it's done Go home tonight She's waiting there all alone Wake up Wake up, dear sir (You're ready to go) Wake up Wake up, it's done Go home tonight She's waiting there all alone "In this short period of time that I have, I hope to leave here some seeds, some ferment of thought, of skepticism, of new look at the universe, and what is in it."

"In this short period of time that I have, I hope to leave here with some seeds, some ferment of thought, of skepticism, of a new look at the Universe, and what is in it..." Standing around a grave, chanting lines from a page It's the mourning denial, an age-old recital The fear of uncertain fate An ember falls from the sky, foreshadowing out demise It's happened before, the fables ignored A subject most vital, and why he has sacrificed Why is death required, to turn a flame into fire? A radiating force A memory adorned At last, he was admired We lower him into the ground Pour dirt on his furrowed brow The procession recedes, some fall to their knees Blaming the gods for a loss that they have found We will find... Sacrifice! We will rise... blinding light! You know I tried so hard to find the fire in all of us And now I rise to heaven above Ascension absolves none of us
