about

The Spark was the first song ever composed for our robot guitar. Satyra composed the song not long after their health issues began, during a period when their hands were hardly functional. Because of that, this track was actually composed using their feet via strips of copper tape connected to electrical leads to pick up the notes through stepping on the floor.

lyrics

On the first day
And the last day
Of the world
The queer oracle
Leaps
From the center

Of a cauldron
From a fire
Kept by fey
And mortals touched by the Spark

Stir the fire
Mince the sage
Add cardamom
And time

There’s a sleeping seed
Buried deep
Beneath
The last fruiting tree
On earth

This tree will not survive
Nor will it die
Earth's brew
Feeds this seed
For rebirth

Heat the cauldron
Melt the sugar
Drink the brew
Set the spark

We are all
Just piles of mud
Mounds of flesh
Smothering the earth
Encased in stone
Statuettes,
That is
at least
Until
we feel
The Spark
