The exploration of that great wilderness before it disappears.
I've landed in the forest.
I'm cutting through the brush.
I stumble upon a local, who takes me in.
I drink their poison.
I see what they've seen.
I'm in the darkest existence of nature.
The voice of those who have lived by this forest exhort me further, but i'm apprehensive.
Mnyama and mwanaume are no longer so different.
Wao ni sawa.
Wao ni sawa.
Wao ni sawa. Wao ni kama yangu.
Wao ni sawa. Wao ni kama yangu.
I'm taken to what destroys this way of life.
The machine with giant, devastating wheels.
I've seen it before.
I've worked one before.
A glimpse of the place of waste.
I awake, enlightened.
The Hornsman signals my journey complete.
I share the comforts of my life.
What has advanced us so far.
I take them back to my camp.
They are curious, I am wise.
We've learned much about each other.
I've lived an expedition in the life of them.
They have taught me much.
I will go back home, enlightened.
I was curious, they were wise.
Depart from me as I see fighters go back to brush.
They're bloodthirsty.
They'll kill me by mistake if I return.
They want to protect what they've shared with me.
They are hiding, waiting.
"Mwisho wa misitu". The storm, a forest.

Wow nice, good stuff. Following along to that, as I listened again, definitely made the album even cooler than it was before. Really feels almost like a soundtrack to a movie now, with its mysterious parts and then sad ending. Nice to be able to see the scenes all happening in my head.
