1. Visions of Twilights
Have you ever noticed soul deep in the flame
Looking straight into the fire
You’ll see it again
Sparks are spinning ’ round and round
Flying and dying
Band of sunset burning down
Night bird is crying
Silent voices, shimmering light
Signs of mystery, signs of night
Why ain ’ t you afraid, you’d better hide
Alone with the darkness
Silent voices, shimmering light
Signs of mystery, signs of night
We are two trunks
The thunder sets alight
Two shooting stars
At one - way flight
Above the tomb
Where timeless beauty lies
We are a pair of spirits
With sad eyes.
2. Citadel
3. Bleeding (come talk to me)
As on the day gone by
I talk to you, my faithful blade
You run with crackling flame
So careless so easy
Opening blood stream
Through flesh without pain
In spite of the sand in my eyes
And dust in my mouth
I try to talk through the pressure
Of silence
Trying to touch - like screaming
Come, talk to me, cause I’m bleeding
Desperate heart
Tries to break out
Trough the bones and flesh
How you hated the life
So wretched and so mean
You were a bird, a bird caged in
And never knew the sound sleep’s delight ...
How I wish you and I could be enemies
Yet you gave me your manifold charms
This is a kind of freedom we lose
We caught sweet moment,
And had no time to choose
How you hated the life
So wretched and so mean
You were a bird, a bird caged in
And never knew the sound sleep’s delight ...
A lightning struck the water
And yet it grew no hotter
The lightning pierced it like a spear
But, noisy thing, it did no hear
The lightning feel and ceased to be
The brook ran onward, heedlessly
No use to chafe at destiny
I pardon you, you pardon me ...
4. The pale horse
Like a storm the street was seething
Crowds in haste were passing
And if chased and harried by the ruthless fate
Down the road cars, hackney carriages went dashing
Endless was the flow of folk, a torrent in full spate
Signboards in the sky rotated alternating faces
Shining from the terrifying height of thirty floors
In a loud proud anthem with din of wheels and fracas
Mingled whip cracks, call of newsboys shouting without pause
Cruel was the light that from white captive moons came pouring
Suddenly in to this seething storm,
This hellish whisper
This delirium in earthly form portrayed
Came the sound of hooves with discord bursting
Deafening the road of traffic made
Swiftly flew the horse and halted with eyes ablaze
for an instant only - fear in every gaze
In his hands the rider held a scroll unfolded
With proclaimed his name to all in flaming letters: DEATH
Vivid strips of light like yarn are glowing
High above the street across the vault of heaven spread
‘’People, can’t you see - it’s God’s right hand above you rising!
One in four will die from hunger, pestilence and sword!’’
But the rapture and the terror lasted but a moment
Soon here in a frightened crowd nobody remained
Down the road cars, hackney carriages went dashing
Endless was the flow of folk, a torrent in full spate.
5. Hounds of depth
Under the waves, under the polar ice
Decease of the depths
Iron cocoons, death - loaded inside
The cruisers are hunting
Nets are waiting for us
Hold on to the target
Blow up the boards and tanks
Trough the rain of iron
Fill up the sea with fire
We are on the battle course
And we have no remorse
By no means restores to you that same silence
The sweet gleam of heaven, and clouds are gone
Deep down in your bosom
You hide your confusion
And never can tell us
You secret profound
Dark water around us
Land lies out of sight
Guns are ready for battle
Engines full of might
And we caught the broadcast of our enemy
Sea bright high heaven
Sea speechless and silent
Reveal to me, tell me
Your secret profound
Say, what is now stirring
Your limitless bosom
In your endless space
I have lost all alone
Or is it the radiant glory of heaven
That draws you from bondage of Earth
I close my eyes and every time I see
I see the thousands figures
Arise from the bottom of the sea
Their uniforms are black
Their submarines are wrecked
No one remembered their suffering
And dying ...
6. Edge of age
The time has come
And the evil came in
The light of mind
Is burning down everywhere
Nights are growing so cold
There’s no sun
There’s no place to hide and to run
Can’t you hear - something calling - beware
The gates are opened
And wheels are screaming it
And skies are hiding the moon and sun
End of reality
Came ’ s fast incredibly
Our temple has broken
And time is gone
You keep on moving and keep on the road
Break on through the edge of the world
Strange forces invade,
Here’s nothing stay the same
We are leave it all,
And never will return
Sign not, o wind, your fearful song
Of chaos, for the hungry spirit
Into night world of shadows flung
Exults in it and strains to hear it.
7. Scared Serenity
8. The clearity, the conscience, the stream
