Riverain

s dark,
There was a gulf I was falling into
Then the dream was cut short by my cry
Who’s my nightmare?
…you.

Then there came all-absorbing sound
All the universe sang in tune
And the little and fragile sky
Couldn’t hold up the giant moon

I recall being all and one
And the voices inside my head
I recall everlasting scream
I'm the eyewitness of the end.

Breaking Test
One way to live, otherwise - death
Life - breaking test, scream is your song
The street is your home and the night is your day
Feel like you live in different world

[Chorus:]
You're once again running away
Trusting your senses that never betray
Trying to catch sight of friends in the mob
Until your death you'll never stop

Live at full stretch, sing till the end
Wound peoples' hearts by telling the truth
Your fate is to be forever ablaze
You are the only, life is for you.

Breaking Test
One way to live, otherwise - death
Life - breaking test, scream is your song
The street is your home and the night is your day
Feel like you live in different world

[Chorus:]
You're once again running away
Trusting your senses that never betray
Trying to catch sight of friends in the mob
Until your death you'll never stop

Live at full stretch, sing till the end
Wound peoples' hearts by telling the truth
Your fate is to be forever ablaze
You are the only, life is for you.

Wizard
Winter wood is dark and perilous
And tracks are quickly covered here with slash
Grey-haired sorcerer is living here
Semi-beast and semi-living man

He will pour his powder into fire
Pitch-dark as coagulated blood
He will see the ones from the beyond
And will hear someone’s imperious call

[Chorus:]
"Wizard, help me please, let me out of the dark
Give your flesh to me and open the gate
You will live forever, you will never die!
You will get it all… And we will dominate!"

But the aged wizard will not yield
He will challenge spirit to a fight.
And this raging battle he will win
None of his opponents has survived…

The evil is still locked there in the dark,
The old man still performs nocturnal rites
Nothing has disturbed the sleeping gods
But again the wizard hears the cry…

Tears Shed In The Sand
When your soul is burning off with grief
When salty rain is washing off your dreams
The Spring is powerless to force out the mist
That’s crept into your soul with winter winds

When poignant anguish’s shining through the lines
When reproaches fill your head with pain
The sorrow song may ease you for a while
Song of tears shed in the sand

Spring doesn’t heal you but intoxicates
And your heart is full of painful fright
Your soul is suffering without a sound
Your life is over, you're dead inside

Let my figure come back to your dreams
Let the past be shining through my eyes
Let my voice be cure for your disease
Let me sing a song of love and lies.

Madman
The dust of frozen clouds lays down under his heels
The centuries have passed since heaven lost its brightness
The madman walks alone between the riversides
Of raging stream that flows towards the savage canyon
Why, oh why...

[Chorus:]
The madman cannot see
That there’s no rest in life,
That sunlight is for those
Who have no fear of dying
The river takes away
All passions and vexations
And leaves a chance for us
To open a new chapter

But on the seventh day, the sun rays have got cold,
You'd never know
The twilight heaven's vault has crumbled into pieces,
Pieces of my heart
The madman is now gone, the river is still rushing
In some another world, for some another madman.

Look Me In The Eyes
Look me in the eyes
And you'll see a sombre dark
Look me in the eyes
There's no more fire, not a spark
Look me in the eyes
Tthat long ago were shining bright
Look me in the eyes
I'm not alright

[Chorus:]
Look into my eyes, believe
Look into my eyes, I'll let you in
Look into my eyes, again
Look into my eyes, I still await...

Look me in the eyes
They are radiant with light
Look me in the eyes
Once again, they are so bright
Look me in the eyes
The dark and grief have gone away
Look me in the eyes
They are the same…

Spirits Of The Forest
Take the storming wind rose in your hands
Tame the raging bonfires with your rains
When the evening twilight fills the sky
Rise spirits of the forest in the night

[Chorus:]
You and me - real and dreams
Dark and light, pale and bright
You're my star, you're my guard
When I'm scared, you take care, and I'm safe...
I feel safe

I pass round the bonfire seven times
Raise my eyes and see familiar sight
Dressed in solemn garment, you appear
To protect and help... I have no fear.
