about

Kohelet is a four part composition featuring electric violin, organ and vocals (Steph K), upright and electric bass (Mat G) and special guest James Wise on drums. It retells the book of Ecclesiastes for a modern, musically inquisitive audience; the source material is at times bleak, esoteric and unforgiving - but ultimately concludes with a message of hope.

lyrics

I, I was the King
I, I was the preacher
I, I had it all, to the people a spiritual teacher
On an unfeeling earth man's body breaks in toil
No inheritance, no legacy, only nature's endless turmoil
Havel Havelim (HEBREW: meaningless, all is meaningless)

I, I was the King
I, I was the architect
I, I was their luminary
A man of renown, worthy of praise and respect
And though I walked proudly as chief among the wise
The fool and I are destined for the very same demise
Havel Havelim

A time to be born and a time die
I surrender to the power that no man may dare deny
A time to sow and a time to reap
He may strike me where I stand or He may take me in my sleep
A time to kill and a time to heal
I bow before your majesty and accept the hand you deal
Havel Havelim
