From the recording Bangsokol: A Requiem for Cambodia
The sixth movement, looks back at the terrible time of the Khmer Rouge, just after its ending. The fruit of "ambrosia" is widely hoped for.
Lyrics
6. awaiting ambrosia / for all souls
Oh, that time, that time in the past!
It was as if we were hungry spirits,
lacking food, lacking satisfaction,
bearing a measurable fate,
hoping only that friends and relatives
would toss out morsels
to us who suffered
in the realm of the shadows,
awaiting ambrosia
from lovely words above
that would stream out everywhere
for all the souls.
