New Internationale

In post-atomic modernity

Embrace magnetic mortality

Watered down apocalyptic times

Let the cosmic drama seize all lives

Under the arc of divine violence

Cheered by the specters of lost idols

Historical triumph recognized

In decay, ridiculed and despised

Excess of progress

Condemned to collapse

From the ashes of history is born time without fracture

And disappointed desires

Our despair, most acute

Our hope, most exalted

The ordinary suspended

Vulgarization of faith in growth and development rejected

Projection of existential agony onto history rendered obsolete

Collective salvation in the making

Formation of the New International

Is this another adamant march toward catastrophe

Or an overture to the age of revolutionary action?
