0 - The Fool (Unique Song)
Song of Inscriptions as Corporeal Song of Tongues but allows the comprehension of records in Dead languages as well as Modern writings. The Corporeal Song covers the latter but not the former. More than just a perfect translation, this Song allows the performer to read between the lines and understand the Gimel of the author: Indicating that the text is a caustic curse in Cuneiform or a sacrilegious satire in Sanskrit. The Song is especially relevant for cave paintings and other recorded communications: Greek Linear B or the language of knots used by the Incas!
