silly prophecy

I was playing with making a more difficult music quizzby using babelfish to translate the quoted text into another language (in this case French) and then reverting it to English. However it made it a bit too difficult. However I loved the following translation of The Tea Party's The Grand Bazaar.

Originally:

Silence swimming in a pool of dreams
beneath its depths the forgotten streams
above, the city of the evening star
behind its walls, the grand bazaar

After a double mechanical translation:

Deaden swimming in a swimming pool of the dreams under its depths the jets forgotten above, the city of the evening hold the first role behind its walls, the large bazaar

I like it. Now all I need to do is fit it into a game. Perhaps as a prequel to a game of Don't Rest Your Head.
