PUSCIFER
Dans son superbe morceau « The Humbling River » le groupe de rock Puscifer décrit avec poésie le passage difficile d’une rivière par son héros qui a pourtant conquis toutes les montagnes qui se présentaient à lui, bravé les forêts, les feux et les vents de glace.
Mais il est désarmé devant cette rivière. Il se rappelle tous exploits et ses conquêtes, mais son désarroi le démuni.
Interrogeant les Anges pour comprendre la raison de son impuissance, ils lui répondent qu’il lui faudra plus que la rage, des muscles ou des richesses: il lui faudra l’humilité.
Et s’unir aux autres.
Maynard James Keenan qui nous fait penser à Alexandre dans une ambiance folk mystique et tribale pour nous rappeler que comme l’a écrit Ryan Holiday : l’égo est l’ennemi.
Magnifique. Enjoy. Cheers

THE HUMBLING RIVER
Nature, nurture heaven and home
Sum of all, and by them, driven
To conquer every mountain shown
But I’ve never crossed the river
Braved the forests, braved the stone
Braved the icy winds and fire
Braved and beat them on my own
Yet I’m helpless by the river
Angel, angel, what have I done?
I’ve faced the quakes, the wind, the fire
I’ve conquered country, crown, and throne
Why can’t I cross this river?
Angel, angel, what have I done?
I’ve faced the quakes, the wind, the fire
I’ve conquered country, crown, and throne
Why can’t I cross this river?
Pay no mind to the battles you’ve won
It’ll take a lot more than rage and muscle
Open your heart and hands, my son
Or you’ll never make it over the river
It’ll take a lot more than words and guns
A whole lot more than riches and muscle
The hands of the many must join as one
And together we’ll cross the river
It’ll take a lot more than words and guns
A whole lot more than riches and muscle
The hands of the many must join as one
And together we’ll cross the river
Nature, nurture heaven and home
It’ll take a lot more than words and guns
Sum of all, and by them, driven
A whole lot more than riches and muscle
To conquer every mountain shown
The hands of the many must join as one
And together we’ll cross the river
Braved the forests, braved the stone
It’ll take a lot more than words and guns
Braved the icy winds and fire
A whole lot more than riches and muscle
Braved and beat them on my own
The hands of the many must join as one
And together we’ll cross the river
And together we’ll cross the river
And together we’ll cross the river
Nature, nurture heaven and home
And together we’ll cross the river
And together we’ll cross the river
Nature, nurture heaven and home
And together we’ll cross the river
And together we’ll cross the river
