Heart's the Key, unlock the Door. Use the Powers. Come, as others come before; Love is now the One and only Rule. Rise, master; wise of Woman, once a fool. Holy water. Son/Daughter of the Truth, Love is now your One and only Rule Chorus: In the Dark of the Womb, Light is the Seed; Love is the only Rule. Sail in the revelation of Her Magic tide in you. In the Dark of the Womb, Heart is the Key; Love is the only Rule and you are the Celebration of the Wisdom of the Truth. Rock of Eden, once again, be fertile plain; the Wisdom of your history is plain. [Chorus] Oh, traveler, wherever you wander, ponder; Light becomes Life through Love in the Heart of the Womb. Come traveler, silently call in the name of Her Soul touching you, Mind teaching you All that is, from before everything that ever shall be." [The words of Wisdom of the Dark aspect of the Great Mother to a child caught in the darkness of depression and despair.] Lyrics to Love is The Only Rule by Mirai Copyright by de Cygne.

Each year in the United States of America, youth die more by suicide than any other cause, except traffic accidents. Most of these acts are committed by males using firearms. According to the Centers for Disease Control, child suicide is at an all time high. Up to 11% of gay, lesbian and transgendered teens and up to 30% of Native American teens die by their own hands, annually. Suicide among HIV+ teens is increasing at an alarming rate. While most teen suicides in the US are committed by caucasian males, since 1980, the sharpest increase of child suicide has occured among males of African descent; up more than 20%, generally; up more than 300% among African American males 10 to 14 years young. The purpose of the Silence is to help decrease these statistics.
"...this moment of Silence..." is a musical [progressive/alternative pop and solo voice chant] expression of the story of Persephone and her descent into the Underworld, (i.e. the Dark, the Abyss; the realm of Shadow in the Unconscious/subconscious Mind). The songs of "...this moment of Silence..." form a suite which interprets Persephone's entire progression from her initial plunge into hopelessness and despair, through her cycle(s) of Transformation to her Self-empowerment and Rebirth (with the aid of the Dark Goddess, Hekate). The following is an excerpt from the album's liner notes; (using Netscape 3.1, click on the play button to hear a sample of the song):
"...this moment of Silence..." helps us to re-view the Dark as a natural, spiritual experience which enables us to tap into the wellspring of Life issuing from the Higher Power(s) we all have freely available to us, hidden in the depths of our innermost being. The experience of being plunged into our personal Underworld, (with or, as is usually the case, without our apparent consent), is not one to despair and languish in; it is not an indication that we are helpless or that our lives are hopeless; it is an opportunity to encounter the most powerful aspects of who we are as spiritual beings. The message and the music of "...this moment of Silence..." are vital to all persons, everywhere, who are transiting intense, personal crisis, particularly those we know and love who may be quietly considering ending their lives.
You can directly help the Silence prevent child/teen suicide by purchasing "...this moment of Silence..." via de Cygne Music Products Catalog; $3.60(US) [more than 50% of the profits] from each album sold will go to The MÈRE Project Charitable Trust for the trust to distribute those funds to programs sponsored by other organizations which are directly devoted to youth suicide prevention. You can participate more actively in preventing child/teen suicide by (Sharon Caron's) Suicide Prevention page for focused information on the warning signs of youth suicide (and how to respond to them), jump to (Lollie McLain's) Comprehensive Approach to Suicide Prevention site for more elucidation on factors inherent to this issue (for persons who are considering suicide and those who seek to help them) or contact an organization listed in the The National Suicide Prevention Directory .
