"[…] Έλα, μακαρία θεά, για την σωτηρία μας με καλόβουλη διάθεση
και φέρε μας την ειρήνη με ευτυχισμένους καιρούς
και στείλε στα πέρατα της γης ό,τι είναι άχρηστο σε εμάς, και τις καταστροφές.
[…] Σεβαστή Ρέα, θυγατέρα του Πρωτόγονου (Χάους) με τις πολλές μορφές,
συ πού το ιερό άρμα σου οδηγεί το λιοντάρι, […]"

"[...] Come in peace and attend our labors.
Bring to us rich abundance and drive away disease,
Come, Holy mother, and Bless this sacred rite
[...] Daughter of the Earth and Sky,
Incline to my prayer,
Oh Goddess whose chariot is drawn by fierce lions running, [...]"

Seeing the (in-)famous barrels of the divided Nicosia, filled & fixed with concrete at the lifeless though green city strikethrough, my 1st thought was: ”I wonder what they sound like!” In his experimental album, one of the best songwriters & composers awakens the ghosts of the recent violent history that would otherwise keep slumbering inside. He limits himself to a whispering presence. If you manage to come to Nicosia, give the metal snake a thorough hit. Βάρα τα βαρέλια. EleutheriaPL
