"Outside emptiness"

Идти вперед

Осталось нам совсем немного, путь от порога до порога
Почти прошли, не коротка была дорога
И не легка, и если глянуть строго
Назад, то понимаешь, что не зря били тревогу

Со всех сторон кричали, не гневите бога
Несладко, когда знаешь что неоткуда ждать подмогу
Идти вперед, осознавая, что всему итогом
Могли бы стать врата к совсем другим чертогам

Бегом сквозь жизнь бежали без оглядки на условности
И тяжесть пережитого терялась в невесомости
Того, что впереди ждало, в той неопределенности
Мы жили, не рассчитывая, что умрем от скромности

Как невозможно обуздать стихию, что царит над нами
Так в рамки не загнать нашу свободу, волю, память
Ступенька за ступенькой себя вверх мы поднимали
К вершине, что манила нас в заоблачные дали

Сквозь райский сад и лютый зимний холод без оглядки
Где каждый новый шаг открывал новые загадки
Борясь с ордой пороков и играя с жизнью в прятки
Не раз при виде нас сверкали вражеские пятки

Цветущим папоротником жизнь нас обходила стороной
Но мы бежали рядом с ней, опережая волчий вой
Доказывая всем и вся что нам не по пути с судьбой
В последних проблесках огня вступив в неравный бой

Со временем и с теми, кто до сих пор не понял нас
С безликой серой массой что идет, не поднимая глаз
Куда укажут, но я верю, что настанет час
И яркий солнца луч согреет сердце каждого из вас

И вспомните тогда, как нам прохода не давали
Как плыли по течению навстречу нам и как кричали
Что вверх дороги нет! Но вы тогда еще не понимали
Что тот, кто встал на путь прямой с него свернет едва ли

Forbidden house

Tired walls of ancient buildings
are frozen like scream without sound
There was an asylum of forbidden heroes
Who’s ashes lay on the ground

Outside is darkness
Hear full of pain (scream) of broken windows
Screams are fulfilling time with unclear glass
Uprising like the memory from all around

Enter this house and come nearer
To the old wall of stone
Listen to the windows and door and you’ll hear it
Memories of your home

Like soundless ghosts from the ruins
They`re uprising behind your back
Hundreds that gone in the ages
Preparing for their last attack

Outside is darkness
Hear full of pain (scream) of broken windows
Screams are fulfilling time with unclear glass
Uprising like the memory from all around

Emptiness

Water drops in your hands
Tears from broken skies
Seems like it’s just a rain
But its heaven that cries
As it bleeds before it dies

You are running away
Looking back to the days
And you’re breaking your wings
Life is harder than it seems
Your journey begins

than it appears
“Wipe away tears from your eyes”
Dead water runs
From silent skies
Shadows are rising behind you
And when you look back
You feel time stops to run
It’s emptiness

Words are melting inside
Fingers are slowly moving
Ceiling is over my eaves
I can’t see a light of a fire
It’s hidden by day and it’s foul

Nothing will happen than
Nothing is happening now
Somebody’s walking around
No waiting no hope no belief
You’re already there

where it appears
“Wipe away tears from your eyes”
Dead water runs
From silent skies
Shadows are rising behind you
And when you look back
You feel time stops to run
It’s emptiness

Fear over the town

Fear appeared in the town
Caught it with its sharp claws
Suddenly got in your house
And looked at you from above

I ran away from my home
Just tried to escape from this fear
But suddenly I realized
It’s already here

In the voice on the radio
In you neighbor’s eyes
In ruined building
There’s everywhere its black mark

Below and above and behind you
In the subway – there’s no escape
Fear is so sticky, invisible
Will press you down – runaway

Fear appeared in the town
Caught it with its sharp claws
Suddenly got in your house
And looked at you from above

Fear appeared in the town
Caught it with its sharp claws
We`re breathing it like an air
Fear takes us all

Who’s alive

Woe to you, open up your door, let me in
Not a thief, I’m goin’ home it’s easy to see
Lost the meaning of life like ship without steer
Who am I, where I’m from, and how do I live

As i walked through the endless miles and places where I have been
With a question – just one thing, (but have no idea)?
In heavy rocks, in elder seas, in places where nobody lives
No-one cares, no-one knows for what I seek

Many years laid to waste, it’s sad, but it’s true
In the end of my roam let me ask you
But the old man raised his hand and shouted “no!”
I know your question and I know what you’re seeking for

So I beg you please don’t ignore me now
‘Cos your silence is sharper than knife
If you know it just answer me – who is alive
Thousands miles of roads lay behind my back and so many years laid to waste
And the old man whispered “you’re alive until memory remains”

Take the road

Fair eye the sickle is sharp
Silver arrows of horizon
Rushing up the rails to somewhere else
Branches are drawing wings - the gates of May
Snowfall of the past shall turn to clear water
Wind will howl in your ears - a new note

Peak by forest, day by day
Steppe is under sun or inside
See what I see it's strange but it's true
It was always here and stayed without me and you
Should I be a guest or always belong here
As a rock or hail, rain or tree

Faces of the older Gods
Wearing clothes of unknown
The demise is easy and jolly as a train
I don't need no whisper neither nightmare from your dream
Burden years of development of absurd ages
Millions, miles, tons of mud

Rubbish dirty ancient words
Stuffy veils of endless night
Dropping down figures and debris of numbers
Neglecting all human and machine language
Tearing apart all your money, rings and maps
Spit on your rhyme from the beginning to the end

Wind of a spring

I came to the sparkle of bright evening star
Windows are empty and doors are so far
It seems behind the window is frost
But it’s not forever ‘cos time will go on

From endless steppes by the call of a spring
From wet trees by the call of a spring
From clearest skies on first bird wings
The New World grows by the call of a spring

Came out to invite her with soundless breath
Queen who’s relaxing my face with caress
Who’s calling me far to the horizon’s edge
With every movement singing song of fate

Wind of a spring, small water drops
River of life begins from creeks of hope
Clouds are flowing on heavenly bridge
Blows through my heart – the wind of a spring

Run through

Storm rises in velvet skies last thunder
In flashes of light lays Earth paralyzed
Reality fades in apocalyptic visions
The very last day of mankind

There’s no glory without loss
It’s ever last wisdom that buried in minds
Forgotten by people that make the war
Let blood flow, telling words of Christ

Storm rises in velvet skies last thunder
In flashes of light lays Earth paralyzed
Reality fades in apocalyptic visions
The very last day of mankind

There’s no price to pay for all
For countless sins that now covered by time
Struggle with evil will evermore last
Till foremost sun will swept the tears

Storm rises in velvet skies last thunder
In flashes of light lays Earth paralyzed
Reality fades in apocalyptic visions
The very last day of mankind

Setting in morrow less souls
Condemned to keep core of the evil
Like blind in a wasteland we run through the life
Awaiting the day when the truth will rise
