Watch“She’s the mother of us all
She’s the victim of my sadness
And the more she tries to know it
The more she’ll never fill it

And a total lack of faith
She’s the last mistake we make”

It is the ultimate shadow, the defeat of creation; this is the curse at work, the curse that feeds on all life. Everywhere in the universe.
