Internal Clock, Municipal Orrery
Translation from Nozomi
DVD Release (2011) |
The figure of Death, his head shaking.
The rope tightens, the bell rings.
The rooster flaps, the window opened.
The 12 Apostles, like statues!
Unblinking, a grand parade! |
The ancient orrery,
automatic device!
12 constellations of I, the ecliptic.
A zodiac.
I am
the
zodiac! |
Inside my body is ancient.
There, a hundred towers stand.
My internal organs, an ideal city.
In the graveyard, church, abbey. |
The eyeball of Earth.
An example of motion.
The intellectual organ of stone.
A dynamic constellation.
The incomplete embryo.
Death’s mystery.
Theaters, hospitals, museums. |
Manmade flesh. The grotta. The labyrinth.
Illusory construct. Marble.
Manmade clocks. Bells. Springs.
Whirling round and round. Counting time. |
From the ancient cities to me…
Ending on that day, the 24-hour clock.
The sun showing at noon…
...and at night, the moon.
Our natural 24-hour clock. |
Bong, bong! Ding-dong-ding!
Bong, bong! Ding-dong-ding! |
The city of flesh, the mystery of the clock.
Geometric law, rigid construction.
Monotony, eternity.
Present, permanence.
The truth of all creation,
unending sameness.
Infinite variety. |
I will take the form of the city of the human body.
I shall take the form of the broken clock. |
City, clock, discovery!
City, clock, revelation!
City, clock, annihilation! |

The figure of Death, his head shaking.
The rope tightens, the bell rings.
The rooster flaps, the window opened.
The 12 Apostles, like statues!
In a flash, the grand parade begins! |
The ancient orrery,
automatic device!
12 constellations arrayed around me.
A zodiac.
I am
the zodiac! |
Inside my body is ancient.
There, a hundred towers stand.
My internal organs, an ideal city.
In the graveyard, an abbey, and a church. |
The eyeball of Earth.
An example of motion.
The stony viscera of intellect.
A dynamic constellation.
The incomplete embryo.
A mystery of death.
Theaters, hospitals, museums. |
Manmade flesh, the grotta and labyrinth.
Illusory architecture of marble.
Manmade clocks, with bells and springs.
Whirling round and round, marking time. |
From the ancient city to me...
Ending on that day, the 24-hour clock.
The sun showing at noon
...and at night, the moon.
Nature's 24-hour clock. |
Bong, bong! Ding-dong-ding!
Bong, bong! Ding-dong-ding!
|
The city of flesh, the mystery of the clock.
Geometric law, rigid construction.
Monotony, eternity.
Present, permanence.
The truth of all creation:
Unending sameness.
Infinite variety. |
I am the decaying human city.
I am the decaying, broken clock. |
City, clock, discovery!
City, clock, revelation!
City, clock, annihilation! |

Internal Clock, Municipal Orrery
Translation by Yotaka

Statue of the Reaper, its head spinning
A bell rings, as if to expand the subject
The rooster crows, the window opens
The Twelve Apostles are just like puppets
Continuing a grand procession without blinking |
Ancient orrery (celestial clock)
Automatic
My twelve constellations
Zodiac
My
Zodiac |
From ancient times in my body
A hundred towers rise up
Internal scenery, ideal city
Church in a graveyard, a monastery |
The Earth's eye,
an example of movement
An intellectual statue, a
constellation of effort
An incomplete embryo,
the secret of death
A theater, a hospital, a museum |
Man-made flesh, Grotta labyrinth,
a grand history of illusory architecture
Man-made clock, countless balances,
spinning round, an individual time |
From the ancient city to me
Ending that day, one day's clock
Daytime is the sun,
night is the moon
One day's natural clock |
BOON BOON KINKONKAN
BOON BOON KINKONKAN |
The mystery of the internal city and clock
Geometric law, a construct of ticking clocks
Unchanging eternity
Modern perpetuity
Universal truth
Lack of variety
Infinite variety |
I become a human city
I become a divided clock |
City, clock, discovery
City, clock, understanding
City, clock |
| "Annihilation!" |

An image of Death rocks my mind
I pull the cord; toll the bells
The cock beats its wings; when the window opens
The twelve disciples are mere dolls
Unblinking, a grand parade |
The old orrery (clock of astronomy)
An automatic mechanism
The twelve constellations of the ecliptic me:
The zodiac
I,
The zodiac |
Within my body, from olden times,
One hundred towers rise above
A visceral landscape; Utopia
In the cemetary, a church, a cloister |
Eye of Earth;
motive specimen
Intellectual organ of stone;
the sign of Motive Power
Unfinished embryo;
the secrets of Death
The theater, the hospital, the historical museum |
Artificial flesh; grotta; Labyrinth;
illusionary construction; marble
Artificial clock; weight; spring;
spinning and turning; individual time |
From the ancient city to me,
It ends with that day, quotidian clock
The sun in daytime;
the moon at night
The natural clock of a day
|
Bong bong, ding dong ding,
Bong bong, ding dong ding. |
The corporeal city and the Mystery of the clock
Geometric law, puritanical construction
Monotony; eternity
The present; perpetuity
All Creation is reality
Monotonous
Infinitely changing |
I will take the form of a corporeal city
I shall take the form of a suspended clock |
Municipal clock, a discovery
Municipal clock, an understanding
Municipal clock... |
| "Annihilation!" |
