about

“man muss noch chaos in sich haben um einen tanzenden stern gebaren zu konnen”  "I say unto you: one must still have chaos in oneself to be able to give birth to a dancing star. Nietzsche Thus Spake Zarathustra

And if God is dead as he proclaimed it was also Nietzsche who was torn to shreds, his mind dispersed in the chaos of the Dionysian body. So it was also blues that Zarathustra spake; blues the self-overcoming of dancing stars.

lyrics

A rolling stone,
a rope between beast and overman
poised beyond good and evil
to the sun he speaks
this cup is again going to empty itself,
and again I am going to be a man.
thus began Zarathustra’s going down.

Wage war against a slave religion
sometimes your so wrong that your right
when your mind departed
it was the assumption of the antichrist
in those last lucid letters signed
Dionysus or the Crucified
you had come to know your fate
was not man but dynamite

Thus spake Zarathustra
‘Once you said “God”
but, now I come, come to teach you now... overman

And if god is dead,
would it be your body torn to shreds...
its just the chaos of who you are,
that gives birth to a dancing star (3)
