Music lyrics, Great Deep (2021) —"Great Deep"

“He came for me. I couldn’t believe it.. Into a flying palace full of thousands of armed rakshasas in the middle of a magic jungle.. What was the God damn point of saving him only to watch him throw his life away?
Kate for Curran”

“Brand: Answer me, God, in the jaws of death:
Is there no salvation for the Will of Man?
No small measure of salvation?
[The avalanche buries him. The valley is swallowed up. ]
A Voice: [Calls through the crashing thunder] He is the God of Love.”

Henrik Ibsen (1828–1906) Norwegian playwright, theatre director, and poet

Act V
Brand (1866)

“I do not preach universal salvation, what I say is that I cannot exclude the possibility that God would save all men at the Judgment.”

Karl Barth (1886–1968) Swiss Protestant theologian

"Witness to an Ancient Truth" (1962)

“I recommend that the pilgrims [to Mecca and Al-Medina] pray there, that they be persistent in their prayer. Prayer is a very good way of worshiping God. They should not forget to pray. But for every prayer there should also be a curse. Your prayers should also include curses. Pray for the good and curse the evil. Say: "My Lord, end the lives of three people shortly – Bush, Sharon, and Blair. End their lives and the lives of their followers. Ask the Lord.”
