A Tendency to Fall Lyrics by Cryptodira

The Angel of History

0

Fate is the guilt of the living… of those who survived
And yet this forever fading light of forgiveness
Falls against and makes the shadow of guilt never fade
Each individual life is an absolute origin unto itself
Each soul is as particular as it is eternal
Each is an overflowing, and a movement forward
But one which stops again, shorted by guilt
Each one decays as it is drawn into debt

The debt of capital starts again from its own ashes;
It starts again from the other’s dreams it raises and shatters
It makes a desire-object of their labor and security
History has a motor force; its subject has a drive
The subject longs to disrupt these cycles of pain and loss
History yearns to stop the cycle of irreparable damage

A market finds the restless eye of the rentier
It is an eye which hasn’t blinked in at least a decade
It improvises its supply chains, and miracles a demand
After labor value is lost, price loses itself in inflation
The production of surplus will suffice for blind survival;
The consumption of that surplus is what will blindside it
Watching its profit-margins slowly whittle themselves down
The producers are sold down the very river consumers drown in
All it has to do is reinvest after the crisis and sell-off
It is one self-interest which forsakes an entire populace

When reproduction expands deeper with every cycle
The rentier’s attitude towards life can only be irritation
The faster circulation of its life is anxious and agitating
Rest comes for it when rest comes for all: after death
Sleep and happiness can wait until that horizon

The rentier operates with simple maxims:
If there’s no demand, cut income and employment
If there’s no supply, let the working class starve
If the people strike, divide them and go to war

The cycle: find it, profit off it, and waste it
