Songs

My beloved!

We were separated from the battle by an arm's length
There was a stretch of the river, wind, and clouds
There were those who guided us and showed us signs
The sun – the pendulum of the Earth – shone from above

Slowly, fate weaves its thread
An eclipse will come – everything was predetermined long ago!

A messiah will come and bring everyone to their knees
He is not all-powerful, only the glint in his eyes
We didn't ask for it, we lived without his signs
A hundred generations, hundreds of years ago...

The dawn will illuminate with fire, the sunrise will blaze with bonfires
The firmament will rise up against the ominous Hell
Flocks of fierce angels will cover the sky with domes
They will defeat the gods of the elements, they will forbid the Sun

Slowly, fate weaves its thread
An eclipse will come – everything was predetermined long ago!

A messiah will come and bring everyone to their knees
He is not all-powerful, only the glint in his eyes
We didn't ask for it, we lived without his signs
A hundred generations, hundreds of years ago...

...the Earth calls us to repay
Not in vain have we heard the ancient call for so many years
Time is a long snake
It will revive the names of the gods from the ashes!

***

A messiah will come and bring everyone to their knees
He is not all-powerful, only the glint in his eyes
We didn't ask for it, we lived without his signs
A hundred generations, hundreds of years ago...

Trees don't run, they die standing
They go into the ground, they sleep as ash
And they sprout into the sky with a new spring
As it was hundreds of years ago...
